01. Read My Name (Remix) (Chords) 3:56
Tabbed by: frankowillo
The chords written here are for the normal version of Read My Name from the album The Road to Freedom.
I don't have the remix version from the single Read My Name,
So I'm not sure if these chords match the original perfectly.
CAPO: 4th Fret
Am Dm G C
For every child that has been born, there is a chance to shine,
Dm Am E B7
And everyone can have a dream until the end of time,
Am Dm G C
So live for every moment as the world keeps turning 'round,
Dm Am E
And lift your hands up to the sky and say it loud and proud,
Am D G Am D G Am
"I have been here, read my name, read my name!"
Dm G C
For every child that has been born, there is a chance in life,
Dm Am E B7
To try it all and be someone with what we have inside,
Am Dm G C
So don't give up and don't give in, just give it all instead,
Dm Am E
And raise your voice above the crowd and let them know you've said..
Am D G Am D G Am
"I have been here, read my name, read my name
F G
With all I've got I've taken part,
E Am
I've made a difference to the world,
F G C
I have been here, just read my name____!"
Am Dm G C
Endlessly amazing and inventive that we are,
Dm Am E B7
We dive the deepest oceans and we reach out for the stars,
Am Dm G C
And one day there will be a man across the universe,
Dm Am E
Who'll say "I come from Planet Earth" and these will be his words..
Am D G Am D G Am
"I have been here, read my name, read my name
F G
With all I've got I've taken part,
E Am
I've made a difference to the world,
F G C
I have been here, just read my name____!"
Am Dm G C
And when the darkness has to fall and comes the end of days,
Dm Am E B7
Then lift your hands up to the sky and say it once again....
E C F G
"I have been here and I have taken part,
E Am
I've made a difference to the world,
F G C
I have been here, just read my name____!"
Am Dm G Am C
Da da da, da da da da, da da da da da da,
Dm Am E B7 Am
Da da da da, da da da da, da da da da da da, yea-ea-a-ea-a
Dm Am G C D
"I have been here... just read my name
Dm Am G C D
I've taken part... reach for the stars,
Dm Am G C D
Across the universe... we come from Planet Earth."

02. Songbird 3:59
Tabbed by: NBA96
Chris wrote this song in honour of the death of Eva Cassidy.
G D Em
I heard a voice so pure and easy,
Am D
A songbird singing for me,
G D Em
I had no choice, only to listen,
Am D G D
And surrender to her world,
G E7 Am
And she will fly over the rainbow,
D G D
She will walk in fields of gold,
G E7 Am C
And when she sings from the high walls of Heaven,
G D G Bm Am D
Will the angels cry like me?
G D Em
At first alone, then with hundreds around me,
Am D
Enchanted by her song,
G D Em
But as the day is done, and the darkness is falling,
Am D G D
The songbird sings no more,
G E7 Am
And now she flies over the rainbow,
D G D
And she walks in fields of gold,
G E7 Am C
And when she sings from the high walls of Heaven,
G D G D G E7 Am D G D
Will the angels cry like me?
G E7 Am C
And when she sings from the high walls of Heaven,
G D Em C
Will the angels cry like me,
Am D G Bm Am D G C G
Will the angels cry like me?

03. Once Upon A Time 3:41
Tabbed by: NBA96
The chords I wrote here are for the live version of Once Upon a Time from the album Live in Dortmund.
I don't have the album version from the special edition of The Road to Freedom,
So I'm not sure if these chords match the original perfectly.
Intro: D
D G D
Daddy I can't sleep tonight, it's happening again,
G Gm D
Voices in the kitchen are shouting and it's keeping me awake,
Em
Is it something I've done wrong?
Bm
Maybe it's all my fault,
Em A
And why is Mummy crying all the time?
D G D
Lately I've been dreaming, dreaming of the day,
G Gm D
We will come together and be a happy family again,
Em Bm
Remember how it used to be, sitting here on my bed,
Em
Both of you with stories,
A D
When you came to say goodnight,
A D
Once upon a time you must have loved her,
Em
And held her in your arms,
A F# Bm
And told her she's the best thing in your life,
G D
And it's so sad, so bad,
Em A D G D A
To think that you don't love her anymore, anymore,
D G D
Someday when I'm older, will it be the same?
G Gm D
To wake up in the morning and find that everything in life has changed,
Em
Well I never want to see that day,
Bm
I never want to leave this home,
Em A D
But most of all I never want to hear you say goodbye,
A D
Once upon a time you must have loved her,
Em
And held her in your arms,
A F# Bm
And told her she's the best thing in your world,
G D
And it's so sad, so bad,
Em A Bb Bm
To think that you don't love her anymore, anymore,
Em A
To think that you don't love her like before,
D A D G D
Once upon a time.
