Em C Em C D Em D Em
It was lEmate at night on the Gopen road,
spGeeding like a mDan on the rCun,
a lifetime spGent prepaAmring for the jDourney.
He is clEmoser now and the sGearch is on,
rGeading from a mDap in the mCind.
Yes! There's that rGagged hAmill and there's a bGoat on the rDiver.
And when the rEmain came down, Dhe heard a wEmild dog howl,D  
there were vCoices in the nGight, (Don't do it ! )
vCoices out of sGight, (Don't do it !)
Ctoo many men have failed befB7ore, whatever you do :
EmDon't pDay the fEmerryman! Don't Deven fCix a price !
EmDon't pDay the fEmerryman, until he gCets you to the Dother sEmide.D  
+ Em   D   Em  
In the rEmolling mist, then he gGets on board,
nGow there'll be no tDurning bCack,
beware that hGooded Amold man at the rDudder.
And then the lEmightning flashed and the thuGnder roared,
and pGeople calling oDut his nCame,
and dancing bGones that jAmabbered-and-a-mGoaned on the wDater.
And then the fEmerryman said, D"There is trEmouble ahead,D  
so yCou must pay me nGow." (Don't do it !)
"YCou must pay me nGow." (Don't do it !)
CAnd still that voice came from beyB7ond, whatever you do :
EmDon't pDay the fEmerryman! Don't Deven fCix a price !
EmDon't pDay the fEmerryman, until he gCets you to the Dother sEmide.D

Missing you.
CI've been mAmissing you, DmmGissing you.
CI've got the roses, AI've got the wine,
Dmwith a little luck she will be hGere on time.
CThis is the place we Amused to go,
with rDmomantic music and the lEights down low.

the lDmady that I adGore, 'cause there's Dmsomething
that you should knGow, it's that …
CI've been mAmissing you, mDmore than words can sGay,
and that CI've been thAminking about it every dDmay,G  
and the tCime we hAmad just dFancing nice and slFmow,
and I said, nCow I've fAmound you, I'm nDmever letting gGo.G7  
CThere is no reason to the thAings that we do,
Dmyou can break a heart with just a wGord or two,
Cand take a lifetime to apAmologise,
Dmwhen the one you love's in frEont of your eyes.
And I will fAmall to my knees like a fFool,
if it's the Emonly way of getting through,F  
you see, if CI think you are bAmeautiful,
someone Dmelse is going to feel it, too,G  
so there's Dmonly one thing to dGo, tell you that …
CI've been mAmissing you, mDmore than words can sGay,
and that CI've been thAminking about it every dDmay,G  
and the tCime we hAmad just dFancing nice and slFmow,

10. One World 3:59
Tabbed by: NBA96
I can fCeel it in my blood, I can hGear it in my footsteps,
I can sAmee it all around, that everywhere connections are brFeaking away,
And people know that something must chGange, must change,
There are bCetter men than I, who with cGourage and conviction
Are patrAmolling the lines, waking up the sleepers who wFill not decide,
And do not think there's anything wrGong
But we are Amall living here in this bFeautiful world,
Sharing sEunrises every dAmay,
We may have dFifferent lives, but for all of us here we will stGay,
We're living in Cone world, sleeping in Fone world,
Dreaming in Cone world, and no-one's gGoing anywhere,
We're living in Cone world, working in Fone world,
Breathing in Cone world, we're just the sGame as anyone, whFooGooAmo,
I belCieve there is a God, but it dGoesn't mean that my God is grAmeater than yours,
It only means we all have the rFight to believe,
'Cause nobody knows it for sGure, for sure,
If there's a HAmeaven or Hell, or a swFeet Paradise,
Or a plEace where we all meet agAmain,
'Cause with mFinimal change, everyone here is the sGame,
We're living in Cone world, sleeping in Fone world,
Dreaming in Cone world, and no-one's gGoing anywhere,
We're living in Cone world, working in Fone world,
Breathing in Cone world, we're just the sGame as anyone, whFooGooAo,
We're living in Done world, sleeping in Gone world,
Dreaming in Done world, and no-one's gAoing anywhere,
We're living in Done world, working in Gone world,
Breathing in Done world, we're just the sAame as anyone,
LDisten to the vGoice of millions cDalling me and yAou,
TDake good care of Geverywhere 'cause thDis is my home tAoo,
Laughing in Done world, crying in Gone world, hoping in Done world, oAoooh,
Praying in Done world, trying in Gone world, thDis is my home tAoo,

Chris de Burgh wrote this song a few days after his friend Princess Diana
got killed in august 1997.
Intro: D  
DShadows darken and the dEmay is done

You were their voice when they cDould not speak
EmA touch for the dyingA  
And as we sDay goodbye I can hBmardly see
GFor the tDears in my Aeyes
DYou are shining like a mBmillion suns
And there's a nGew star up in HAeaven tonDight
DI wonder if you ever knEmew

And in the darkness of a lDonely room
EmWere you empty inside?A  
DAnd as you fade away, it's like a lEmight
F#mHas gone from the wGorld
But I am sure that there is Da place
EmWhere you will burn on foreverA  
And as we sDay goodbye, I can hBmardly see
GFor the tDears in my Aeyes
DYou are shining like a mBmillion suns
And there's a nGew star up in HAeaven tonDightBm
