evans blue ( cover version ) capo the 4th
standard tuning
Am G D
listen as the wind blows , from across the great divide
Am G D
voices trapped in yearning , memories trapped in time
Am G D
the night is my companion , and solitude my guide
F Am D
would i spend forever here , and not be satisfied?
F Em Am
and i would be the one
C
to hold you down
F
kiss you so hard
F Em G
i’ll take your breath away ,
Am
and after i’d
C
wipe away the tears ,
F G Am
just close your eyes dear
Am G D
Am G D
through this would i’ve stumbled , so many times betrayed
Am G D
trying to find an honest word to find the truth enslaved ,
Am G D
you speak to me in riddles , you speak to me in rhymes
F Am D
my body aches to breathe your breath , your words keep me alive
F Em Am
and i would be the one
C
to hold you down
F
kiss you so hard
F Em G
i’ll take your breath away ,
Am
and after i’d
C
wipe away the tears
F G Am
just close your eyes dear .
Am G D x3
Am G D
into this night i wander , it’s morning that i dread
Am G D
another day of knowing of the path i fear to tread
Am G D
ohhh – into the sea of waking dreams , i follow without pride
F Am D
nothing stands between us here and i won’t be denied .
F Em Am
and i would be the one
C
to hold you down
F
kiss you so hard
F Em G
i’ll take your breath away ,
Am
and after i’d
C
wipe away the tears
F G F
just close your eyes dear
Am
i’ll hold you down
C
kiss you so hard
F Em G
i’ll take your breath away ,
Am
and after i’d
C
wipe away the tears
Am Em
just close your eyes .
( for many of the D chords i throw in some Dsus4 and Dsus2 when playing the D
– same with Am for Amsus2
– same with C for Cmaj7
especially towards the end )
