Capo: 5 Tuning: E A D G B E

This version is from the Live at Bangor Abbey CD. Don't be put off by the complex-looking chords. I've charted them below FYI. It's easy enough to substitute more simplified chords & still have it sounding pretty good.

^G6sus4If there'^Cs one thing that I ^Em7/Bknow ^Csus2It is that ^Ctwo shades of ^Fmaj7hope ^COne the enlightening ^Csus2/Bsoul And the ^Am7other is more like a ^G6sus4hangman's rope

[Pre-Chorus]

Well it's ^Fmaj7true, you may reap what you^G7sus4 sow Am7#5 But not that despair is the all-time low

[Chorus]

^G7sus4Baby, ^Chope deals the the ^G7sus4ha- ard^Csus2est bl^Cows C G7sus4 Csus2 C

[Verse]

^G6sus4There was ^Conce someone I ^Em7/Bloved And his ^Cheart overflowed his ^Fmaj7cup ^FAnd his ^Cshoes got covered in ^Csus2/Bblood Oh but ^Am7he never knew Cause he ^G6sus4only looked up

[Pre-Chorus]

Well ^Fmaj7he was a troubled ^G7sus4soul Am7#5 Csus2/B G6sus4 And he saw pain more than most I know

[Chorus]

Yet it was ^Chope that dealt the^G7sus4 ha- ar^Csus2dest bl^Cows C G7sus4 Csus2 C

[Verse]

^G6sus4And ^Ctoo the girl that ^Em7/Bholds the hand Of a ^Csomewhat distant ^Fmaj7man ^FThough she’d ^Cdo everything she ^Csus2/Bcan Still his ^Am7heart set sail for a ^G6sus4distant land

[Pre-Chorus]

And she ^Fmaj7wonders sometimes if he ^G7sus4knows Am7#5 G6sus4 How she feels like a trampled rose

[Chorus]

Baby, ^Chope deals the the^G7sus4 ha- ar^Csus2dest b^Clows C G7sus4 Csus2 C

[Instrumental]

^COooh,^Csus2/B oh oh ^Am7 ^G7sus4 ^Fmaj7Oooh, oh^G7sus4 oh ^Csus2 ^C ^G7sus4 ^C

[Verse]

^G6sus4Well some ^Cpeople think their ^Em7/Bsins Cause the ^Ccancer that's eating ^Fmaj7into them ^FAnd the ^Conly way they can ^Csus2/Bwin Is by the ^Am7healing of somebody's ^G6sus4hands on their skin

[Pre-Chorus] Fmaj7 G7sus4 Am7#5 G6sus4 And pra-a-yin, but when the cancer does not go [Chorus]

Surely ^Chope dealt the^G7sus4 ha- ar^Csus2dest b^Clows C G7sus4 Csus2 C

[Verse]

^G6sus4And now ^Call these truths are ^Em7/Bsold With ^Cfoundations be^Fmaj7low them ^FThat were ^Cdug out in winter's^Csus2/B cold

[Bridge] Am7#5 G6sus4 Fmaj7 F G7sus4 Am7#5 When the world stole our young and prayed on the old [Outro]

Well ^Chope deals in the^G7sus4 ha- ar^Csus2dest b^Clows Yet I cannot ^Csus4help mys^G6sus4elf but ^Chope

G7sus4 Csus2 C

^CI guess that's ^Fmaj7why love hurts ^G7sus4And heartache stings Am7#5 And despair is never worse Than the des^G7sus4pair that it brings

C G7sus4 Am7#5 But hope deals the ha- ardest blows, dear

The ^Cha-^G7sus4ardest ^Fmaj7blows, dear The ^G7sus4ha-arde^Csus2st ^Cblows^G7sus4
