Chords for Conviction Of The Heart (guitar chords demonstration) by Guy Thomas

[Eb] So, first of all, let's start with the tuning on that.
That would be from the six string
bottom.
E sharp, [Bb] E [Eb] sharp, D sharp, [Ab] G sharp, C, [F] and F.
[Eb] Okay, so it's like your open D tuning,
except it's all half step up.
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _
Okay, so let's get started on this.
_ Well, we recorded it for the record.
_ We did it in
Hawaii somewhere.
I was using a Gibson hollow body, but for live I always used an acoustic
and it's the same fingering, same playing style, but it's just acoustic.
So, here's
how it went. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ We're all the [Eb] dreams that we [Bb] once had, _ this [Eb] is the time to [Gm] bring them back.
_ [Cm] What were
the promises, [Gm] _ _ _
carved on [Eb] the tips of our [Bb] tongues?
[Eb] _ _
[F] Do we [Eb] forget [F] or forgive?
[Bb] All of the lies,
[Eb] waiting to be lived when, [F] _
one day [Cm] we're [F] brave enough, [Eb] _ [Bb]
to talk with conviction [F] of [Bb] the heart.
[Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ [Bb] _ _
Down [Eb] these streets I fall [Bb] alone, _ as if [Eb] my feet were not [Gm] my own.
Such [Cm] is the path I chose,
[Gm] _ _
doors I [Eb] have opened and [Bb] closed.
[Eb] _ _
[F] I've tired [Eb] of [F] living this life, [Bb] fooling myself,
[Eb] leaping down the line when _
[F] I've [Eb] never [F] given up [Eb] _ [Bb] _
any [F] conviction of [Gm] the heart.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ [Gm] We are one with the earth, with [Eb] the sky, one with [Bb] _ [F] everything [Gm] in life.
I believe we will [Eb]
survive, if we [Bb] [F] only try.
How long [Gm] must we owe [Eb] it to change, this world [Bb] bound [F] in dreams [Eb] that we've been given?
[Cm] _ _
To know [Bb] what it is [F] to forgive, the [Eb] people _ _ given. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ Too many [Eb] years of [Bb] digging out,
_ _ isn't [Eb] it time to stop [Gm] somehow?
_ Air [Eb] that's too angry to breathe, [Gm] _ _ water [Eb] our children can't [Bb] drink.
_ [F] _ We've heard [Eb] it [F] hundreds of times, [Eb] we [Bb] say we [Eb] will wear, [Gm] [Eb] and believe if we care. _ _ _ _ _
[F] Do [Cm] we [F] care enough [Eb] _
[Bb] to find [Eb] some conviction [F] _ of _ _ _ the [Bb] heart? _ _
[Eb] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ [Bb] _ _
[Eb] _ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] We are one with [Gm] the earth, [Eb] with the sky, one [C] with [Bb] everything [F] [Bb] in life.
I [Gm] believe _ we'll live [Eb] this life with [Cm] [Bb] conviction [Eb] [F] of [Gm] the heart.
We _ [Bb] are one with the earth, with [Eb] the sky, one [Cm] with [Bb] _ [F] everything [Gm] in life.
I [Bb] believe we'll [Eb] live this life with _ [Cm] _ [Bb] conviction [F] of [Bb] the [Eb] heart.
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
And the phone rings.
