CAPO ON THE THIRD FRET
___________________________________________
[INTRO (2x)]
Am C G D
[VERSE]
Am
Come, and steal my thoughts away
G
Thief of my identity
F E
I was holding on to decency, reality
Am
Come, and take me for a while
G
Up to your abundant pace
F E
I’ll be your sidecar if you want to race, want to race
[CHORUS]
F
Put your hand on mine
C
And take me from this tired ride
G
Take me from this early night
Am
From the sea and rain and countryside
F
If you talk to me then soon
C
I’ll be your accomplice in words
G
And we will talk only in verse
E
Talk only in verse
[VERSE]
Am
I will leave the ones I love
G
Leave them for the years to come
F E
Even though I may be doing wrong, doing wrong
Am
I will follow in your steps
G
Walk out to the station cold
F E
Buy a ticket and and then slowly go, slowly go
[CHORUS]
F
In this place and time
C
Easy is the first escape
G
I got money I need no disguise
Am
I’m a citizen and city wise
F
In this time and place
C
There is no one who will shoot you down
G
No one who will take a girl
A
And tell her she can’t have the world
[SYNTH SOLO - SPONKEN WORD PART (2x)]
Dm F C G
[VERSE]
Dm
Boy, you don’t know what you want
C
It isn’t what you think it is
A# A
All the dreams, and guilt and loneliness, loneliness
Dm
Boy, if we were to be friends
C
Subtle is the art required
A# A
To draw the evil from this lonely pyre, lonely pyre
[CHORUS (2x)]
A#
Take this hand from me
F
And guide me round your tools of work
C
Fashion me into your junior clerk
Dm
Let me live in shadows of your words
A#
When things get tough for you
F
As they did when you came up through the ranks
C
You can borrow from my faith
A
From my faith, from my faith...
