Judy Collins - Risk
CAPO: 1st Fret
[Intro]
Am Dm Am Dm
[Verse 1]
AmTime slips by in the hourglass
You can Dmhear your name
AmSand slides through the stranger's hand
As he deals the Fgame
[Verse 2]
All the Gcandles are burning Flow
No more Gcradles and no more Fsnow
Bet your Glife on a Clucky Dmroll
Play your Gqueen, you could Cwin your Dmsoul
Stakes are Ghigh you could Clive or Fdie
To risk everyGthingAm  Dm  
[Verse 3]
AmIn your goblet the wine is black
As a Dmmoonless night
AmWet your lips before you kiss
The blazing Flight
[Verse 4]
Bets are Goff but the game is Amon
FDrop the Garmour you counted Amon
FAll your Garmies are Amfled and Dmgone
FWin your Gking, you can play your Ampawn
FTake your Gtime, you Amhave just beDmgun
To risk everyGthing
[Chorus]
CCatch your tears in a Fgolden sieve
CDon't regret what you Fdid to live
CDon't forget that you Fmust forAmgive
To risk everyGthingAm  Dm  
[Verse 5]
AmThrough the window you see the storm
That is Dmgathering
AmPainted gypsies on dappled horses
Are gallopFing
[Verse 6]
Through the Gtrees in the Amhowling wind
FDown the Ghills to the Amriver bend
FShadow Gghosts that are Amblind as Dmnight
FShrieking Gcurses against the Amnight
FDaring Gyou to come Amjoin their Dmflight
And risk everGything
[Chorus]
CCatch your tears in a Fgolden sieve
CDon't regret what you Fdid to live
CDon't forget that you Fmust forAmgive
To risk everyGthingAm  Dm  
[Verse 7]
AmThere is nothing to hold you now
To your Dmfault or mine
AmFallen idols and martyred souls
Are the only Fkind
[Verse 8]
Feet of Gclay in the Amemerald skies
FBirds of Gprey when the Amdreamer dies
FPerfect Gcrosses perAmfect your Dmlies
FBurning Gsaints in the Amflaming skies
FBet your Glife every Ampromise dies
FAll that's Gleft for Amyou to Dmtry
Is risking everyGthing
[Chorus]
CCatch your tears in a Fgolden sieve
CDon't regret what you Fdid to live
CDon't forget that you Fmust forAmgive
To risk everyGthingAm  Dm  Am  
[Chorus]
CCatch your tears in a Fgolden sieve
CDon't regret what you Fdid to live
CDon't forget that you Fmust forAmgive
To risk everyGthingAm  Dm  
[Verse 9]
AmTime slips by in the hourglass
You can Dmhear your name
AmSand slides through the stranger's hand
As he deals the Fgame
[Verse 10]
All the Gcandles are burning Flow
No more Gcradles and no more Fsnow
Bet your Glife on a Clucky Dmroll
Play your Gqueen, you could Cwin your Dmsoul
Stakes are Ghigh you could Clive or Dmdie
To risk everyGthingAm  Dm  
[Chorus]
CCatch your tears in a Fgolden sieve
CDon't regret what you Fdid to live
CDon't forget that you Fmust forAmgive
To risk everyGthingAm  Dm
