Suzanne Vega – Crack In The Wall (Guitar)

G           D              C
A crack appeared inside a wall

    G          D   G
A door sprang up around it

G         D              C
Each of these so finely drawn

C        G      D        G
I could not believe I found it

G                       D9sus
A wildish wind blew it open wide

G                          D9sus
My childish mind followed on outside

G           D     G     C
And so I found myself among

C    G        D         G
My heart's delight surrounded

G                         C
A world of wonder lay without

C       G        D       G
It was all of nature's calling

G                                  C
With field and forest, clouds and sun

C   G         D          G
Cascades of salt water falling

G                         D9sus
With heights and valleys, dark ravines

G                     D9sus
Ivy thick and wild, deep and thorny scenes

G              D         G        C
And yet each thing did love its place

C       G      D                 G
In the lap of all of nature's sprawling

G7/D            D9sus
And so and so it goes

G7/D            D9sus
And so and so it goes

G            D                 C
I asked the one whose land it was

   G        D     G
If I could have a token

G   D            G                 C
To take with me back to the other side

    G            D      G
To have and to keep unspoken

G                           D9sus
I asked three times and was thrice denied

G             D9sus
I asked again without my pride

G              D          G         C
And found I'd lost that world I'd lived

     G       D        G
Returned as one now broken

G                  D9sus
A crumb, a rag, a withered leaf

G                      D9sus
In the chilly winds of cold relief

G  D    G               C
I knew myself as I had been

C   G       D     G
As from a dream awoken

G7/D            D9sus
And so and so it goes

G7/D            D9sus
And so and so it goes

             G       D       G      C
But then a crack appeared inside a wall

       G          D     G
And a door sprang up around it
