## NOTE: ~ = walk-down between  Cand  Am##
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO:    C      G(2x)     C  
First warm day in all these GmonthsC  
All the sunlight made me GdrunkF  
Made me feel like I could Crun
Made me feel like I was GyoungC  
So I went out all on my GownC  
I told no one where I'd GgoF  
Anyway I did not Cknow
I only knew I had to GgoF  
CHORUS:
                         C~ Am  
Out beyond the iron gate
Out there where you FsaiGd you'd Cwait
INTERLUDE:    C     G(2x)  C  
I'd gotten used to living GhereC  
Call it habit, call it GfearF  
Though I had glanced your way for Cyears
Until today, I'd never GdaredC  
But it was easy slipping GthroughC  
Easy as the morning GdewF  
That lingers 'til the afterCnoon
And rises back into the GblueF  
CHORUS:
                         C~ Am  
Out beyond the iron gate
Out there where you FsaiGd you'd Cwait
INSTRUMENTAL:    C     G(4x)      F     C     G  C  
There you were right by my GsideC  
Reaching down to lift me GhighF  
I held on with all my Cmight
Held onto a world made GrightF  
CHORUS:
                         C~ Am  
Out beyond the iron gate
Out there where you FsaiGd you'd Cwait
INTERLUDE:    C      G(2x)  C  
I heard the voices all aGroundC  
Someone lifted off the GshroudF  
I saw my children gather 'Cround
And I will tell them what I've GfoundF  
CHORUS:
                         C~ Am  
Out beyond the iron gate
Out there where you FsaiGd you'd Cwait
