Chris de Burgh – Open Your Eyes (Guitar)

Dm
You don't know me, but I know you,

               Gm                              Dm
You left your heart and soul at the walls of Jerusalem

Dm
You joined the fight for God and King,

                                               Gm
Together marching to the Holy Land, with King Richard's crusade,

                            Dm
You were told that you'd be heroes.

          Am
But then rich men got richer,

                              Bb
And came back with silver and gold,

            Gm                                           C    Csus4   C
And now we live in the forest as outlaws with nowhere to go

F          C          Dm      Bb
Open your eyes to the world around you

    F        C      Bb
And see what I can see,

F          C           Dm           Bb
Open your arms to the ones who need you

Dm
You're like a bird with a broken wing,

                                              Gm
You have a voice but you will not sing of the pain in this land,

                      Dm
And the cries of the innocent!

             Am
You are the lord of this place

                            Bb
With the power to change anything,

             Gm
So think no more of yourself

                                C           D   Dsus4   D
But of others, and what you may bring this day!

G         D           Em      C
Open your eyes to the world around you,

    G        D     C
and see what I can see,

G          D          Em            C
Open your arms to the ones who need you,

          G
open your eyes.

G         D            Em            C
Open your heart to the ones who love you,

               G         D           C
Just open your eyes    (Open your eyes)

            D         G             D           C
And be the leader we need    (Just open your eyes)

            D           G         D            C
And help us to be free      (Just open your eyes)

D            G
Open your eyes
