James Keelaghan - Your Secret
CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO:   C    F    Am7    G    C(3x)    F    Am7  G  
I walked out on a CWinter night
I Gfelt like I was Cdriven
A Gbundle tucked beneath my Amarm
A Fdept to be forGgiven
I turned up 14th Street and CPine
AGbove the distant traffic's Amroar
FReached a crest and dropped my Cbag
I won't Gbe your secret anyCmore
INTERLUDE:   F    Am7    G     C    F    Am7   G  
I lit a fire on the Chill
GWinter snow had drifted Chigh
GWatched the smoke from letters Amspill
InFto the ink-black midnight Gsky
Your words were mingled with the Cstars
Every Gline you wrote that I aAmdored
FTime has come for this to Cend
I won't Gbe your secret anyCmore
INTERLUDE:   F    Am7    G     C    F    Am7   G  
I next threw on the things you Cgave
GAll of those well thought out Cgifts
They Gwere enfolded in the Amblaze
They Fturned to smoke and up they Gdrift
Photographs and poeCtry
Those Gchimes I hung outside my Amdoor
ReFduced to ashen memoCry
I won't Gbe your secret anyCmore
INSTRUMENTAL:   C    F    Am7    G    C    F    Am7    G    Am7    G    C    F    Am7   G  
I stayed until the fire Cdied
That was Gshortly after sunCrise
I Gtried to burn the memoAmries
But Fthey still smouldered deep inGside
Slaves, they say, revere their Cchains
GPrisoners fear the open Amdoor
I'll Fhope someday that I'll be Cfree
I won't Gbe your secret anyCmore

Above the distant traffic's roar

Reached a crest and dropped my bag

Watched the smoke from letters spill

Into the ink-black midnight sky

Your words were mingled with the stars

Every line you wrote that I adored
