_ [Eb] _ [F] _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ [F] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _
_ [Eb] _ [Bb] _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[C] _ _ [Bb] _ I thought [F] I'd be an angel and [Eb] _ _ fly on [Bb] astral skies
[F] _ [Gm] I thought I'd [C] wear a fancy full _ [F] disguise
_ And _ _ [Eb] it's taken me [F] a lot of time [Bb] to find out I'm [Gm] not one
_ _ [Bb] And how'd long [F] the run on [Eb] _ this side of the [Bb] sun
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _
I hoped I'd [F] be a champion _ [Eb] and _ live without [Bb] a care
[F] I [Gm] _
thought I'd [C] change the world, _ [Eb] _
make it just and [F] fair
But [Bb] _ [F] _
_ [Eb] my years slipped by [F] before my [Bb] eyes, _ much to [Gm] my surprise
_ [Bb] _ _ Before I [F] had begun _ [Eb] on this side [Bb] of the sun
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Out on this [D] end of the wind, [Eb] _
winter's coming [Bb] round again
_ [Gm] You pray for rain [C] _ before you know [Eb] you're standing in [F] a foot of snow _ _ _
[F] _ [Eb] So you pull your coat up [F] to your chin, [Bb] _ pick your shovel [Gm] up again
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] Cause your work is [F] never done _ _ [Eb] _
on this side [Bb] of the [F] sun
I [Eb] _ [F] _
_ [Bb] _ [Eb] _ [Bb] _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [Eb] _ [Bb] _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] took it to a fortune teller, [Eb] _ _ I [Bb] thought that she might [F] help me
_ [Gm] _ She looked into [C] my eyes and smiled [Eb] _ _ _ [F] mysteriously _
_ _ [Bb] _ [F] _ [Eb] _ [F] [Eb] But she didn't know [F] as much as me, [Bb] _
I stared [Gm] back dejectedly
Cause _
_ _ [Bb] _ I know [F] where she's from, _ [Eb] _ this side [Bb] of the sun
_ [Eb] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
Out behind [D] these prison walls, [Eb] _
dark clouds [Bb] come and hard rains fall
[Gm] She paused a moment [C] for a dream, _ [Eb] they roll you gently [F] down the stream
[Gm] _ [F]
You _ [Eb] _ wake up [F] angry in the night, [Bb] _ jump up ready [Gm] for a fight
But _ _ _ [Bb] the war is [F] never won _ _ [Eb] _
on this side of the [Bb] sun
_ [Eb] _ _
[Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ Now they tell me [F] music can [Eb] _ _ free a [Bb] person's soul
[F] _ [Gm] So _ I [C] sing a song _ [Eb] _ everywhere [F] I go
_ [Bb] But [F] _ [Bb] _ [F] _ [Eb] it's not much different [F] _ than before
[Bb] _
I'm still [Gm] looking for the door, _ [Bb] _ _
I wonder if [F] there is one
_ [Eb] _
On this side of [Bb] the sun
_ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ [Gm] _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
