Golden Heart
[Verse]
She was swGinging by the bangles in a mDain street Gstore
  GA while before we Cmet
The most dGangerous angles that you ever saw
She spCied her amuleDt
And she Gtook a loop of leather for aDround heGr neck
   GAnd that was then the Cstart
The most Gdangerous lady on her quarter deck
She fCound her golden hDearGt
  CFound your gDolden GheartG  
[Verse 2]
Then we swGirled around each other and the thDread was Gspun
   GTo some Arcadian Cband
I would Gstop it from swinging like a pendulum
CJust to hold time in my Dhand
And you shGot me with a cannonball of hDistGory
   GAnd long forgotteCn art
I'd be Gturning it over as our words ran free
  CI'd hold your golden hDeaGrt
  CI'd hold your gDolden heGartG  
[Bridge]
And nCothing in the world prepDared me fEmor your heCart, your hAmeart
CNothing in the world that DI love Emmore your Cheart, your hAmeart
Your gColden heDart
[Chorus]
Your golden heGart, your goGlden CheartG  
Your golden heGart, your goGlden ChearDt
[Verse 3]
And every Gtime I'm thinking of you from a Ddistant Gshore
GAnd all the time CI sleep
I will Ghave a reminder that my baby wore
CA part of you tDo keep
And I'll sGend you all my promises acDross the sea
  GAnd while we are Capart
I will cGarry the wonder that you gave to me
I'll wCear your golden hDearGt
I'll wCear your gDolden heGart
[Bridge]
And nCothing in the world prepDared me fEmor your heCart, your hAmeart
CNothing in the world that DI love Emmore your Cheart, your hAmeart
Your gColden heDart
[Chorus]
Your golden heGart, your goGlden CheartG  
Your golden heGart, your goGlden ChearDt
Your golden heGart, your goGlden CheartG  
golden hCearDt     G(Fade out)

Golden Heart

[Verse]

G D G

She was swinging by the bangles in a main street store

G C

A while before we met

The most dangerous angles that you ever saw

C D

She spied her amulet

G D G

And she took a loop of leather for around her neck

G C

And that was then the start

The most dangerous lady on her quarter deck

C D G

She found her golden heart

C D G G

Found your golden heart

[Verse 2]

G D G

Then we swirled around each other and the thread was spun

G C

To some Arcadian band

I would stop it from swinging like a pendulum

C D

Just to hold time in my hand

G D G

And you shot me with a cannonball of history

G C

And long forgotten art

I'd be turning it over as our words ran free

C D G

I'd hold your golden heart

C D G G

I'd hold your golden heart

[Bridge]

C D Em C Am

And nothing in the world prepared me for your heart, your heart

C D Em C Am

Nothing in the world that I love more your heart, your heart

C D

Your golden heart

[Chorus]

G G C G

Your golden heart, your golden heart

G G C D

Your golden heart, your golden heart

[Verse 3]

G D G

And every time I'm thinking of you from a distant shore

G C

And all the time I sleep

I will have a reminder that my baby wore

C D

A part of you to keep

G D

And I'll send you all my promises across the sea

G C

And while we are apart

I will carry the wonder that you gave to me

C D G

I'll wear your golden heart

C D G

I'll wear your golden heart

[Bridge]

C D Em C Am

And nothing in the world prepared me for your heart, your heart

C D Em C Am

Nothing in the world that I love more your heart, your heart

Your golden heart

[Chorus]

G G C G

Your golden heart, your golden heart
