Chords with lyrics

Intro:
A minorAm

Verse:
C majorC    G+G
The pause of the morning, it gave me a chill,
A minorAm           G+G    A minorAm
& I knew I would soon have to decide,
    C majorC    G+G
Tired of living, just to pay off my bills,
    A minorAm   G+G    A minorAm
So I packed up without a goodbye.
        C majorC    G+G
I found myself a place to stay out from the cold,
    A minorAm       G+G    A minorAm
Where the air & the fishing was free,
    C majorC    G+G
& my crazy ways I did not have to hide,
    A minorAm   G+G    A minorAm   G+G
On the banks of the black swanee.

Chorus:
  A minorAm
I only wanted a place of my own,
    G+G        A minorAm
Some land & a garden to grow,
G+G        A minorAm       C majorC
But in the end I could not dance alone,
    G+G    E minorEm       A minorAm
So I packed up & headed back home.

Verse:
C majorC        G+G
I traded the quiet for the roar of the crowds,
    A minorAm   G+G    A minorAm
The dawn for the big city lights,
    C majorC        G+G
I got myself a job @ a bank here downtown,
A minorAm       G+G    A minorAm   G+G
& I drank away my lonely nights.

Chorus:
   A minorAm
How I dreamt of that place of my own,
G+G            A minorAm
Where I could remain as I am,
    G+G        A minorAm       C majorC
& I dreaded the way that I headed back home,
        G\Em      A minorAm
When the solitude I could not stand?

Verse:
C majorC        G+G
Then fate found a girl with the moon in her eyes,
    A minorAm   G+G    A minorAm
& a beauty of likes never seen,
            C majorC    G+G
But her heart was a treasure to never be mine,
    A minorAm   G+G    A minorAm   G+G
& she left me in sheer misery.

Chorus:
                A minorAm
Take me back to that place of my own,
    G+G        A minorAm   G+G
Where no I can hear a man cry.
        A minorAm   C majorC
I do not care if I must die alone,
    G+G    E minorEm   A minorAm
For I know now to not compromise.
G+G    E minorEm       A minorAm
