Chris Cornell – The Keeper (Guitar)

A
 I come from far away

D               A
 My boots don’t know this ground

D                  A
 But they know it’s real

A
 It doesn’t take too long

D               A
 For this road to become

D         A
 A battlefield

                  D        A       D
 And before I let one more fire go out

A                        F#m       E       D
 Understand that I won’t give one inch of ground

      A       D            A
 From beneath yours and my feet

     D        A     D          A
 Whatever the price happens to be

   D              A             E
 I may not be the keeper of the flame

               D           A
 But I am the keeper-er-er-er

A
 Beauty and truth collide

D                 A
 Where love meets genocide

D                     A
 Where laughter meets fear

A
 Confusion all around

D                 A
 And as I try to feed these mouths

D                      D
 That have never known singing

A                 D        A            D
 And before I let one more tear hit the ground

        A          F#m         E                D
 I will be the one standing between you and the sound

         A      D         A
 Of the rounds    echoing out

D           A
 Out of the dark

     D             A
 The smoke and the spark

 D            A            E
 Aimed at the heart of the flame

   D              A
 I am the keeper ooooh

A
 I cannot see the light

D                  A
 At the end of the tunnel tonight

D            A
 My eyes are weary

 A                 D       A        D
 And before I let one more life get erased

          A            F#m      E           D
 From the ashes I will rise for you and the ghosts

        A         D         A
 Of the names the faces and frames

    D                 A        D      A
 Through love and the pain for you I remain

    D           A
 Though I’m not worthy of being

       E
 The keeper of the flame

          D       A
 I am the keeper yeahhhhh

 D             A
 I am the keeper
