Bruce Cockburn – Dialogue With The Devil (Guitar)

     G            A          E
1.  Standing on a rock, in a river.

     G              A         E
    Staring at the splintered sun.

    G          F           C         G/B
    You could drowned yourself in jewels,

    D       Am7      G      A
    Like a thousand other fools.

    E                            C                 G
    While you stand there looking down at what you won.

    G            A             E
2.  Sitting on a mountain of ashes.

    G         A            E
    Face to face with past regrets.

    G          F            C      G/B
    You could roll down to the canyon,

    D     Am7           G   A
    Piss away this incarnation.

         E                  C                 G
    But remember,  that you pay for what you get.

                       E          D        E       D
       And he says;  "Don't you know, how hard it is,

                          E        D         E      D
                      to hit the ground,  and mean it.

                        E     D
                     And mean it."

    G         A                  E
3.  Walk the jangling streets of the city,

    G          A               E
    Trying to find the buried sun.

     G         F                C     G/B
    You could drowned yourself in jewels,

    D        Am7      G     A
    Like a thousand other fools,

          E                      C            G
    While you wonder,   waiting for it to be done.

                      E
      And he cries;  "Why don't we celebrate, why don't we celebrate,

                      G                 A
                      Love can make you sad,  come on,

                                   E
                      Let's drive ourselves mad."

                          E      D        E       D       E       D
                      And he's aware, how hard it is,  to kiss the sun,

                          E     D         E     D
                      And mean it,    and mean it.

    G           A             E
4.  Standing on a rock,  in a river.

    G            A            E
    Staring at the rain,  made one.

    G          F             C    G/B
    On the surface, flashing diamonds,  

    D       Am7          G       A
    Rolling down the twilight canyon.

            E                   C           G
    And we shall kiss the sun,  in spite of him.

         E
         So why don't we celebrate,   why don't we celebrate....
