[Intro]
G C C G C
[Verse]
G D
I thought I'd be an angel
C G
And fly on astral skies
C G D D7
I thought I'd wear a fanciful disguise
C D
And It's taken me a lotta time
G C
To find out I'm not one
G D
An outlaw on the run,
C G
On this side of the sun.
[Verse]
G D
I hoped I'd be a champion
C G
And live without a care
C G
I thought I'd change the world,
D D7
Make it just and fair
C D
But my youth slipped by before my eyes
G C
Much to my surprise
G D
Before I had begun,
C G
On this side of the sun.
[Verse]
G D
Out on this end of the wind
C G
Winter's coming 'round the bend
C G
You pray for rain, before you know,
C D
You're standin' in a foot of snow
C D
So you pull your coat up to your chin
G C
Pick your shovel up again
G D
'Cause your work is never done,
C G
On this side of the sun.
[Instrumental]
G C G C
[Verse]
G D
I took it to a fortune teller
C G
I thought that she might help me
C G
She looked into my eyes
C D
And smiled mysteriously
C D
But she didn't know as much as me
G C
I stared back, dejectedly
G D
'Cause I know where she's from,
C G
This side of the sun.
[Verse]
G D
Out behind these prison walls,
C G
Dark clouds come and hard rains fall
C G
You pause a moment for a dream,
C D
They row you gently down the stream
C D
You wake up angry in the night,
G C
Jump up, ready for the fight
G D
But the war is never won
C G
On this side of the sun.
[Verse]
G D
Now they tell me music
C G
Can free a person's soul
C G C D
So I sing a song everywhere I go
C D
But It's not much different than before
G C
I'm still looking for the door
G D
I wonder if there is one,
C G
On this side of the sun...
