James Keelaghan - Your Secret
CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: C F Am7 G C (3x) F Am7 G
C
I walked out on a Winter night
G C
I felt like I was driven
G Am
A bundle tucked beneath my arm
F G
A dept to be forgiven
C
I turned up 14th Street and Pine
G Am
Above the distant traffic's roar
F C
Reached a crest and dropped my bag
G C
I won't be your secret anymore
INTERLUDE: F Am7 G C F Am7 G
C
I lit a fire on the hill
G C
Winter snow had drifted high
G Am
Watched the smoke from letters spill
F G
Into the ink-black midnight sky
C
Your words were mingled with the stars
G Am
Every line you wrote that I adored
F C
Time has come for this to end
G C
I won't be your secret anymore
INTERLUDE: F Am7 G C F Am7 G
C
I next threw on the things you gave
G C
All of those well thought out gifts
G Am
They were enfolded in the blaze
F G
They turned to smoke and up they drift
C
Photographs and poetry
G Am
Those chimes I hung outside my door
F C
Reduced to ashen memory
G C
I won't be your secret anymore
INSTRUMENTAL: C F Am7 G C F Am7 G Am7 G C F Am7 G
C
I stayed until the fire died
G C
That was shortly after sunrise
G Am
I tried to burn the memories
F G
But they still smouldered deep inside
C
Slaves, they say, revere their chains
G Am
Prisoners fear the open door
F C
I'll hope someday that I'll be free
G C
I won't be your secret anymore
