G C G C
[Verse]
G
I thought I'd be an angel
C G D Em
And fly on astral skies
A
I thought I'd wear a fanciful
D
disguise
C
And It's taken me
D
a lotta time
G Em
To find out I'm not one
G D
An outlaw on the run
C G
On this side of the sun.
G
I hoped I'd be a champion
C G D Em
And live without a care
A
I thought I'd change the world,
C D
Make it just and fair
C D
But my youth slipped by
G
before my eyes
Em
Much to my surprise
G D
Before I had begun
C G
On this side of the sun.
[Chorus]
Out on this end
B7
of the wind
C G
Winter's coming 'round the bend
Em A C
You pray for rain, before you know, You're standin' in
D C D
a foot of snow So you pull your coat up to your chin
G Em
Pick your shovel up again
G D
'Cause your work is never done,
C G C G C
On this side of the sun.
[Verse]
G D C G D Em A
I took it to a fortune teller I thought that she might help me She looked into my eyes
And smiled
C D
mysteriously
C D G Em
But she didn't know as much as me I stared back, dejectedly
G D
Cause I know where she's from,
C G
This side of the sun.
[Chorus]
B7 C G Em
Out behind these prison walls, Dark clouds come and hard rains fall
A
You pause a moment
C D
for a dream, They row you gently down the stream
C D G Em
You wake up angry in the night, Jump up, ready for the fight
G D
But the war is never won
C G C
On this side of the sun.
[Verse]
G C G D Em A
Now they tell me music Can free a person's soul So I sing a song
C D
everywhere I go
C D G Em G
But It's not much different than before I'm still looking for the door
D C
I wonder if there is one
C G C G C D G
On this side of the sun...
