Chords for Tears Of The Dragon - BRUCE DICKINSON Cover

_ _ [E] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ [F#] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[Am] For too long now, [C] there were secrets in my [Am] mind
For too long now, [C] there were things I should have [Am] said
In the darkness, _ [C] I was stumbling for [Am] the door
To [E] find the reason, [C] to find the time, the [Am] place, the hour
Waiting for [Em] the world to stop
[G] And the cold light [D] of day
[Am] _ The misty ghosts [Em] of childhood _ fears
[G] The pressure is building and [D] I can't stay awake
My [Em] _ _ [C] shell [G] and [D] torso [Em] were laced [C] with blood
And [G] what you're [D] _ [Em] facing [C] up there
[G] I once [D] believed [Em] the tears of [C] the dragon
[G] For you and [D] for me
_ _ _ [Am] Where I was, [C] I had wings that could [Am] fly
Where I [C] was, I had tears that could [Am] cry
My emotions, _ [C] frozen in an [Am] icy lake
I [F#] couldn't feel them [C] until the ice began [Am] to break
I had no [Em] power over this
[G] You know I'm [D] afraid
_ [Am] The walls I built [Em] are crumbling
The [G] water is moving
[D] I'm slipping _ away
[Em] My _ [C] shell [G] and torso [D] _ [Em] were laced [C] with blood
And [G] what you're [D] facing [Em] up _ [C] there
[G] I once [D] believed [Em] the tears of [C] the dragon
[G] For you and [D] for me

[G] _ _ [C] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ [Em] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [Am] Slowly I, _ _ [G] slowly [D] I [Am] rise
The walls I built [Em] are crumbling
The [G] water is moving
[D] I'm slipping away
[Em] And [C] I say [G] _ _ [D] _
[Em] release [C] the wind that [G] it brought [D] _
[Em] to me
[C] _ [G] I once [D] _
[Em] believed the tears [C] of the dragon
[G] For you and [D] for me
[Em] And I _ [C] say, [G] and I [D] say
[Em] Release [C] the wind that [G] it brought to [D] me
[Em] So face [C] up there
[G] I once [D] believed [Em] the tears [C] of the dragon
[G] For you and [D] for me _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] Hail my friends, you guys have been requesting [C] this song for ages
And you know what?
You were right
[Am] This is a powerful ballad
And as you know I'm all about music that [C] gives you power
So you can have yourself an epic [Am] day
And just so it happens that I have a playlist here for you
That [C] might accomplish just that
It's a selection of some of my best [Am] power ballads
I think you will enjoy it
See you then
[C] _ There were things [Am] I should have said
