INTRO Em 

C           Em  Am              Em 
Wise is the man sleeps with the breeze 

C            Em         Am         Em               
Nothing will ever bring him to his knees 

C            Em      Am           Em 
Cold are the nights, long are the days 

    C          Em   Am        Em 
But no one can ever take love away 

       C               Am        Em 
And he kept a lock and key on it forever 

       C              Am               B7 
And he took it out to make sure it was dead 

       C 
And he held it in his hand 

   Am             Em 
He held it in his hand 

       C                            B7 
And he waited for the dawn for some relief 

   Em      C    Am      Em      C      Am      
Uuhhhh...  Uuuuuuuuuuhh......   Ohh... Ohh...  


SOLO C - Em - Am - Em - C - Em - Am - B7 
       Ohh... 

C           Em    Am            Em 
Calm is the girl, flames in her hair 

C           Em    Am            Em 
Keeper of paths, mirth and despair 

C           Em   Am          Em 
Cold winter day, warm summer night 

     C           Em    Am           B7 
That no one will ever bring back to life 

       C               Am        Em   
And he kept a lock and key on it forever 

       C              Am               B7 
And he took it out to make sure it was dead 

       C   
And he held it in his hand 

   Am             Em 
He held it in his hand 

       C              Am            B7 
And he waited for the dawn for some release 

   Em 
Uuhhh... 

C           Em  Am              Em 
Wise is the man sleeps with the breeze 

C           Em  Am              B7 
Wise is the man sleeps with the breeze 

Em
