Chords

[Intro] F Bb F F F Bb F Bb F Bb F Bb C C [Verse 1]
    F            Bb                F
Oh, I was set to find the lonesome place

            Bb               C
Where I was lost but left to trace

           Dm             Bb       C
By carving riddles on the lonesome vine

        F            Bb            F
Oh, but rumor has it that I wasn't born

              Bb            C
I just walked in one frosty morn

         Dm             Bb     C
Into the vision of some vacant mind
[Chorus 1]
    Bb            C           F        Bb
Oh, once I held a pony by its flagging mane

    Bb                C             F       Bb
And once I called the shadow in the turning game

    Dm     C          Bb                       C
But I will fight this stranger that you should fear

   Dm      C    Bb                  F
So I won't be a burden of tomorrow, dear
[Instrumental] F Bb F Bb [Verse 2]
    F               Bb            F
Oh, Xavier's on the border of the sun

              Bb              C
Swings on the chambers of her guns

             Dm                  Bb        C
And tries to shoot the chord and light the path

        F               Bb               F
Oh, but hell I'm just a blind man on the plains

           Bb            C
I drink my water when it rains

            Dm               Bb        C
And live by chance among the lightning strikes
[Chorus 2]
    Bb            C             F    Bb
Oh, once I held a glacier to an open flame

    Bb               C              F      Bb
And once I felt like wildcat in the fallen game

    Dm     C          Bb                       C
But I will fight this stranger that you should fear

   Dm      C    Bb                  F
So I won't be a burden of tomorrow, dear
[Instrumental] F Bb F F F Bb [Outro]
        Bb              C                F        Bb
Oh, the singer's on the edge to feed the canyon's mouth

     Bb            C              F               Dm
They will go on forever till they sing you out of time

    Dm     C          Bb                       C
But I will fight this stranger that you should fear

   Dm      C    Bb                  F
So I won't be a burden of tomorrow, dear
