This is a very beautiful song by Cockburn and I thought it would be nice to put the
actual chords up. This song is played by finger picking but I'm too lazy to tasb that
out, so here are the chords.
Capo III
C G/B F2/A
Sunset is an angel weeping
C G/B F2/A
Holding out a bloody sword
C G/B F2/A
No matter how I squint I cannot
C G/B F2/A
Make out what it's pointing toward
FSometimes you feel like you've Glived too long
AmDays drip slowly on the page F
FYou catch yourself
GPacing the cage F G
C G/B F2/A
I've proven who I am so many times
C G/B F2/A
The magnetic strips worn thin
C G/B F2/A
And each time I was someone else
C G/B F2/A
And everyone was taken in
FPowers chatter in high pGlaces
AmStir up eddies in the dust of rage F
GSet me to pacing the cageF G
C G/B F2/A
I never knew what you all wanted
C G/B F2/A
So I gave you everything
C G/B F2/A
All that I could pillage
C G/B F2/A
All the spells that I could sing
FIt's as if the thing were wGritten
AmIn the constitution of the age F
FSooner or later you'll wind up
GPacing the cage F G
SOLO
C G/B F2/A
Sometimes the best map will not guide you
C G/B F2/A
You can't see what's round the bend
C G/B F2/A
Sometimes the road leads through dark places
C G/B F2/A
Sometimes the darkness is your friend
FToday these eyes scan Gbleached out land
AmFor the coming of the outbound stage F
