## NOTE 1: ~ = Walk-Down from  Con the A-string    ##
## NOTE 2: G- Fis a quick chord change from  Gto  F##
CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO: Am  
                                          F         C~
It's an unfinished life that I find lies before me
An Emopen-ended dream and FI don't want to Gwake
                             Am                   F           C~
I've crossed so many rivers in search of crystal fountains
                          Em                     F           C~
I've found the truest paths always lead through mountains
                               G                    Em        Am  G-F  
I've seen water on the sky, and fire burning on the lake
CHORUS:
You said to Cme, “I Fcannot make you Chappy,
~                           Em                      F  G  
Like a wounded bird, you must find the strength to fly,
                               Am                F         C~
Time can paint the treetops with colours of the rainbow,
But you Emcannot find the end, no Gmatter how you Ftry”Am  
                                     F        C~
It's a journey with my soul that I am taking
EmOne that only goes from the Fcradle to the GgraveAm  
                                            F        C~
Going 'round in circles like painted dancing horses
                 Em                F         C~
Up and down we ride on the wooden courses
                            G                   Em        Am  G-F  
And light from a lover's eyes is all that I can save
CHORUS:
You said to Cme, “I Fcannot make you Chappy,
~                           Em                      F  G  
Like a wounded bird, you must find the strength to fly,
                               Am                F         C~
Time can paint the treetops with colours of the rainbow,
But you Emcannot find the end, no Gmatter how you Ftry”
INSTRUMENTAL: G-   Am    F   C~   Em    F     G    Am    F   C~   Em    F   C~    G     Em  Am  
                                           F             C~
So I'll take the day and run out across the open fields
EmWhere the grass grows high Fand the shadows GfallAm  
                                            F     C~
Where my eyes can see all the colours in the air
                     Em                F      C~
So quiet that the wind whistles in my hair
                        G                 Em        Am  G-F  
And takes the rising dust and carries it away
CHORUS:
You said to Cme, “I Fcannot make you Chappy,
~                           Em                      F  G  
Like a wounded bird, you must find the strength to fly,
                               Am                F         C~
Time can paint the treetops with colours of the rainbow,
But you Emcannot find the end, no Gmatter how you Ftry”Am
