INTRO: D  A7  D  A7  D

          D             G                D
If you're lookin' for a fighter who'll defend you
G                                  D   A7
Love you for your freedom I'm your man
    D              G                 D
And I ain't gonna leave you for the crazy things you're doin'
E                              A7
Don't ask me to lend a helpin' hand

         D             G           D
You were such a pretty dream as I remember
         D                    G               D
You were young and strong and God was on your side
    D              G             D
The vision slowly faded like the wonder from your eyes
A7                                  D
You traded your compassion for your pride


CHORUS:
      D                G           D
But I still believe in all that believed in
      G                                D    A7
And I pray to God that you will in the end
       D              G                   D
You'll see the golden chances that you're wastin'
A7                            D
Be the lovin' beauty that you can


SOLO: D  G  D  G  D  A7
      D  G  D  A7 D


CHORUS:
      D                G             D
And I still believe in all that we believed in (yeah yeah)
      G                                D    A7
And I pray to God that you will in the end
           D               G                  D
And you'll see the golden chances that you're wastin'
A7                            D
Be the lovin' beauty that you can


OUTRO: D  G  D  A7  D
