Gordon Lightfoot - Magnificent Outpouring
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[INTRO:] C F G C Am F C G C
[VERSE 1:]
F
It is said that all the good things
C F
Must come to him who can pretend
C G
He doesn't have to wait
C F
For as surely as the light of day
C F
Must come to drive the night away
C G
The needles and the pins
C
That's where the line begins
[CHORUS:]
F G
With your magnificent outpouring
C F
Of that old familiar story
C G
That's been used a million times
F C
To ease a million minds
[INSTRUMENTAL:] C F G C Am F C G C
[VERSE 2:]
F
There are times when I have told you
C F
That there must be two of us
C G
To try to work things out
C F
But if I can't see you every day
C F
Then I must hide my thoughts away
C G
And see you when I can
C
And try to understand
[CHORUS:]
F G
With your magnificent outpouring
C F
Of that old familiar story
C G
That's been used a million times
F C
To ease a million minds
[INSTRUMENTAL:] C F G C Am F C G C
[VERSE 3:]
F C
So, then let us treat our love like any game
F C G
To fan the flames would really be a sin
C F
For as surely as the snow must fall
C F
I shall be waiting for your call
C G
Pretending it is spring
C
And you'll be mine again
[CHORUS:]
F G
With your magnificent outpouring
C F
Of that old familiar story
C G
That's been used a million times
F C
To ease a million minds
[CHORUS:]
F G
With your magnificent outpouring
C F
Of that old familiar story
C G
That's been used a million times
F C
To ease a million minds
