This is transcribed from the live acoustic version performed at Montserrat, 15/09/1997
[Scale to improvise: B Mixolydian (equivalent to E Major)]
[Instrumental]
B   G#m7   C#m   Amaj7
B   G#m7   A     Amaj7
[Verse]
B     G#m7     C#m     Amaj7
When the wind blows down this hard,
B     G#m7     A       Amaj7
Many a bond is broken.
B     G#m7     C#m     Amaj7
See the water lie on the ground
B     G#m7     A       Amaj7
From where the heavens opened.
[Chorus]
E     A         F#m     B
Lord, how will you get through this night
G#m7  C#m       F#m     B
With your dreams departed?
B     G#m7      C#m     Amaj7
And who alone will comfort you?
B     G#m7      A       Amaj7
Only the broken hearted.
[Instrumental]
B   G#m7   C#m   Amaj7
B   G#m7   A     Amaj7
[Verse]
B     G#m7      C#m     Amaj7
So you've gone beyond your means,
B     G#m7      A       Amaj7
Every wound is open,
B     G#m7      C#m     Amaj7
Your best laid plans are out of reach,
B     G#m7      A       Amaj7
And all your fears unspoken.
[Chorus]
E     A         F#m     B
Lord, how will you get through this night
G#m7  C#m       F#m     B
With your dreams departed?
B     G#m7      C#m     Amaj7
And who alone will comfort you?
B     G#m7      A       Amaj7
Only the broken hearted.

B   G#m7   C#m   Amaj7
B   G#m7   A     Amaj7
[Bridge]
F#             G#m
Sweet revenge is spoken then;
A              C#m
In the twilight it is gone.
F#             B  B/A
To living lies with no escape,
G#m            A
Lord, I would rather be alone.
[Instrumental]
B   G#m7   C#m   Amaj7
B   G#m7   A     Amaj7
[Verse]
B     G#m7      C#m     Amaj7
I press my fingers to the wood
B     G#m7      A       Amaj7
To tell you of my dreaming,
B     G#m7      C#m     Amaj7
To sing you songs from olden times,
B     G#m7      A       Amaj7
To keep the love light gleaming.
[Chorus]
E     A         F#m     B
'Cause there's a place where we can go,
G#m7  C#m       F#m     B
Where we will not be parted.
B     G#m7      C#m     Amaj7
And who alone will enter there?
B     G#m7      A       Amaj7
Only the broken hearted.
