Rod Stewart - Rhythm Of My Heart

C F
across the street the river runs
C F
down in the gutter life is slipping away
C F
let me still exist in another place
C F
running under cover of a helicopter blade
C F
the flames are getting higher in effigy
C F
burning down the bridges of my memory
C F
love may still be alive somewhere someway
C
where they’re downing only deer
F
a hundred steel towns away

C F
oh rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
C F
with the words “i love you” rolling off my tongue
C F
no never will i roam for i know my place is home
C
where the ocean meets the sky
G
i’ll be sailing

interlude : C
C F C
photographs and kerosene light up my darkness
F F
light it up , light it up
C F
i can still feel the touch of your thin blue jeans
C F
running down the alley i’ve got my eyes all over you babe
oh babe

C F
oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
C G
with the words “i love you” rolling off my tongue
C F
no never will i roam for i know my place is home
C G
where the ocean meets the sky i’ll be sailing

C F
oh i’ve got lightning in my veins
C G
shifting like the handle of a slot machine
C F
love may still exist in another place
C
i’m just yanking back the handle
F
no expression on my face

C F
oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
C G
with the words “i love you” rolling off my tongue
C F
no never will i roam for i know my place is home
C G
where the ocean meets the sky i’ll be sailing

C F
oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
C G
with the words “i love you” rolling off my tongue
C F
no never will i roam for i know my place is home
C G
where the ocean meets the sky i’ll be sailing

( now , let each of the chords ring until shift to the next [ strum each once down
until end of chorus ] )

C F
oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
C G
with the words “i love you” rolling off my tongue
C F
no never will i roam for i know my place is home
C G
where the ocean meets the sky i’ll be sailing
