Our Lady Peace – Ballad Of A Poet (Guitar)

Amaj7 E C#m B
2x

Amaj7                     E
He came out like a mountaineer

          C#m                              B
Exploring beauty through the syllables and cheers

             Amaj7                       E
And there was something different in the air

          C#m                         B
Something magical, the crowd was unprepared

          Amaj7                         E
And he was long and lean, he held that stage

          C#m                                B
And Jenny looked at me with reverence on her face

             Amaj7                         E
And she said we left our bodies there that night

           C#m                                 B
'Cause the music shook our souls and saved our lives

  C#m      A   E
Tonight we radiate

    C#m        A    E
The lines have been erased

     C#m    A          B
And I can't leave this place

B          C#m    A          E
Leave this place, leave this place

Amaj7                          E
Now, this ain't New York or Berlin

            C#m                          B
It's just a small town bringdown kind of happening

       Amaj7                      E
He had conviction etched upon his face

           C#m                             B
Like Lenny Bruce or some fucked up William Blake

        Amaj7                   E
He was cloaked in denim head to toe

          C#m                          B
He traded words like souvenirs in stereo

          Amaj7                          E
There was something different about this night

             C#m                        B
Cause it was happening right before our eyes

  C#m      A   E
Tonight we radiate

    C#m        A    E
The lines have been erased

     C#m    A          B
And I can't leave this place

B          C#m    A          E
Leave this place, leave this place

A     G#m           C#m  B
    Tonight we radiate

A     G#m           C#m  B
    Tonight we radiate

  C#m      A   E
Tonight we radiate

    C#m        A    E
The lines have been erased

     C#m    A          B
And I can't leave this place

B          C#m    A          E
Leave this place, leave this place

  C#m      A   E
Tonight we radiate

    C#m        A    E
The lines have been erased

     C#m    A          B
And I can't leave this place

B          C#m    A          E
Leave this place, leave this place

Amaj7                      E
He came out like a mountaineer

          C#m                              B
Exploring beauty through the syllables and cheers

             Amaj7                        E
And there was something different in the air

          C#m                         B
Something magical, the crowd was unprepared
