Blue Rodeo – Rena (Guitar)

C
I got my plans from trembling hands

   F                 C    
I knew just what to do

C                     Am
Follow each step carefully  

  F                          G       
And hope they pulled me through

C
My father ran to different lands

F                    C
And not a word we spoke

C                Am     
I was here to conquer fear

      F                G
And bring some glory home

             F
There's a world of hate and sorrow

              Em  
out there standing in your way

            F             G
There's a load of compromise

             C
before you die

      F                        
And each time you step forward

          Em 
You get burned a little bit

      C             G             Am
No longer know the way to say goodbye

          F             Dm7                  G
Now I'm down here underneath  your bedroom light

 F                G                C
Rena please come out with me tonight.

 C
I look in through the window

          F                  C    
And I though I'd take my chance

C                    Am
I taught myself to play

           F                    G
so I could be where people danced

   C
No higher call than stars that fall

  F              C
I waited patiently

  C                  Am
A thousand miles of pavement

        F            G
That became my destiny

         F
You can wait a lonely lifetime

           Em   
Wondering when it's gonna come

          F              G                C
You can while away the hours getting stoned

     F                       
But one day you get lucky

          Em
And you look in someone's eyes

       C                  G          Am
That tell you you don't have to be alone

         F             Dm7               G
Now I'm falling back just out of your sight

F               G                  C
Rena please come out with me tonight

    F              C               
Oh now I know the way things go

     F               C
And what I put you through

        Am              Em
Cause when they try to get to me              ( repeat twice)      

      F                 G         [:/ C / C / F / C / C,Em,Am / F / G /:]  
They get to me through you

       F                                   Em
I know it's not the kind of hurt that's easily set right

       F                  G                 C
And I know you got your reasons to stay inside

      F                             Em
But nothing ever happens when it's left out on it's own

       C                   G                  Am
You locked in there with just your wounded pride

     Dm7                                  G
I'm down here and I'm way too tired to fight

F                 G               Am
Rena please come out with me tonight

F                 G               C.....
Rena please come out with me tonight
