CAPO III
INTRO -    G  G  
V1:
GWell a wise man once Dsaid to Emme
GIf your heart don't break Dyou won't be fEmree
CBut I'm as free as a Dbird
CFlying out Dover,
CFlying out Dover the seaG  
GI call out Dto the Emwind
GBut no one Dcomes to Emlet me in
CI hear the thDunder
CThe weight on my shDoulders
CThe weight upon my shoDulders crushin' Gme

FShine dCown on this moGuntain
FRain doCwn on my faGce
FCall oCut to the riGver
To wash Dme out
To wCash me out of this pGlace
V2: (same as V1)
Well I wish that I was a sailor man
With the wheel of the ship held in my hand
But I don't like the water
I'm more like the anchor
I wish I was the anchor in me
Sometimes I wish I was a sin
So the ones I love wouldn't let me in
I wouldn't have to try
To find the answers
To give em all the answers they need
CHORUS
V3:
GWell a wise man once Dsaid to Emme
GIf your heart don't break Dyou won't be fEmree
CBut I'm as free as a bDird
CFlying out oDver,
CFlying out oDver the seaG

So the ones I love wouldn't let me in

I wouldn't have to try

To find the answers

To give em all the answers they need
