Alan Hull - This Heart Of Mine
CAPO: 4th Fret
## NOTE:  Am7/E= XX2010                ##
## NOTE: ~     = Walk-Down from  Cto  F##
[Intro]
  C    Am7/E    F     G(4x)
[Verse 1]
        C~               F         G        C~         F  G  
Columbus sailed the ocean, at the age of seventeen
                C~           F         G           C~           F  G  
And he must have had a vision, and he must have had a dream
The Cwise men and the Bbsus2prophets, Ffrozen in their Abways
Tried to turn him Cback again, as a Fmway of saving Gface
[Verse 2]
N.C.            C~            F         G          C~            F  G  
So they sent him out a message, and the message was so clear
         C~               F   G            C~            F  G  
If you go chasing rainbows,  you're not welcome here
And I Cheard he was a Bbsus2bad man, with his Ffinger in the Abpie
But they knew he'd be Chome again, there was Fmsomething in his Geyes
[Chorus]
N.C.                     C          Am                  C      G  C  
And I've seen the veil of darkness, going across the sky
Rising Amin the east, where the Dmsun used to GshineC  
Just when I get to Fthinking, it's Call been a waste of Amtime
N.C.                           C                 F      C         G  Am  
The most beautiful thing in the world, cuts this heart___ of mine
[Verse 3]
            C~            F   G          C~                     F  G  
Now poor old Mother Russia,  couldn't keep her children fed
                C~                 F   G            C~                   F  G  
When she saw she couldn't feed them,  she walked the streets instead
So CBoris built a Bbsus2castle, with FJoseph on the Abdoor
To try to erase the Cmemory that their Fmmother was a Gwhore
[Verse 4]
N.C.            C~             F   G         C~             F  G  
And the poor are always with us,  I heard somebody said
         C~                     F   G         C~                 F  G  
No matter how much you feed them,  they'll still be underfed
COne thing to reBbsus2member when Fevening the Abscore
There are none so Cequal as, Fmthose who are so Gpoor
[Chorus]
N.C.                     C          Am                  C      G  C  
And I've seen the veil of darkness, going across the sky
Rising Amin the east, where the Dmsun used to GshineC  
Just when I get to Fthinking, it's Call been a waste of Amtime
N.C.                           C                 F      C         G  Am  
The most beautiful thing in the world, cuts this heart___ of mine
[Verse 5]
           C~          F       G       C~          F  G  
Now you may be a sailor, or a pilot of a plane
            C~                  F      G         C~            F  G  
Risking your life and everything, for fortune and for fame
Well, Cyou're the kind of Bbsus2prophet to Fput the world to Abrights
But the trouble with your Cvision is, Fmkeeping it in Gsight
[Chorus]
N.C.                     C          Am                  C      G  C  
And I've seen the veil of darkness, going across the sky
Rising Amin the east, where the Dmsun used to GshineC  
Just when I get to Fthinking, it's Call been a waste of Amtime
N.C.                           C                 F      C         G  Am  
The most beautiful thing in the world, cuts this heart___ of mine
The most Cbeautiful thing in the Fworld, cuts this ChearGt___ of FmineG
