All played in the open chord positions 
with a Capo on the Third fret


G                    D       G
Well a wise man once said to me 
                              D       Em
If your heart don’t break you wont be free
C                    D 
But I’m as free as a bird 
C          D
Flying out over, 
C          D         G
flying out over the sea


G          D      G        
I call out to the wind 
                    D      Em
But no one comes to let me in
C           D    
I hear the thunder 
C                 D
The weight on my shoulders
C                  D                  G
The weight upon my shoulders crush’in me



F      C           G   
Shine down on this mountain 
F     C         G
Rain down on my face 
F    C          G
Call out to the river 
G          D
To wash me out 
D          C           G
to wash me out of this place


G                        D      G      
Well I wish that I was a sailor man 
G                               D     Em 
With the wheel of the ship held in my hand
C                    D
But I don’t like the water
C                 D
I’m more like the anchor
C                D         G
I wish I was the anchor in me


G                  D     G                
Sometimes I wish I was a sin 
G                           D      Em
So the ones I love wouldn’t let me in
C                  D
I wouldn’t have to try 
C           D
To find the answers 
C                    D            G
To give them all the answers they need



F     C            G
Shine down on this mountain 
F    C          G
Rain down on my face 
F    C          G
Call out to the river 
G          D
To wash me out 
D          C           G
to wash me out of this place

Well a wise man once said to me 
G                             D       Em
If your heart don’t break you wont be free
C                    D 
But I’m as free as a bird 
C          D
Flying out over, 
C          D        G
flying out over the sea
