Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Well a wise man once said to me

 If your heart don’t break you wont be free

But I’m as free as a bird

Flying out over, flying out over the sea

 I call out to the wind, but no one comes to let me in

I hear the thunder

The weight on my shoulders

The weight upon my shoulders crushing me

Chorus

Shine down on this mountain

Rain down on my face

Call out to the river

 To wash me out to wash me out of this place

Well I wish that I was a sailor man

 With the wheel of the ship held in my hand

But I don’t like the water

I’m more like the anchor

I wish I was the anchor in me

Sometimes I wish I was a sin

 So the ones I love wouldn’t let me in

I wouldn’t have to try

To find the answers

To give them all the answers they need

[repeat CHORUS]

Instrumental

Rhythm: Chords from chorus repeated)

Well a wise man once said to me

 If your heart don’t break you wont be free

But I’m as free as a bird

Flying out over

Flying out over the sea
