Capo 3rd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Well a wise man once said to me
If your heart dont break you wont be free
But Im 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 dont like the water
Im more like the anchor
I wish I was the anchor in me
Sometimes I wish I was a sin
So the ones I love wouldnt let me in
I wouldnt 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 dont break you wont be free
But Im as free as a bird
Flying out over
Flying out over the sea
