Intro: F F F9

Verse
         C                   G
You were looking for silver, looking for gold
    Fadd9                   C
You never did feel the wind turning cold
    C                      G                 F    F
You always said you didn?t need that much anymore

Verse
         C/G                        G
You were carrying the weight of the world
         C                   C
Running around with all that pain
       Dm    G/B  F                   C/G
So you never did  feel my hand in the rain
         C/G                G
You were dreaming deep down in the night
F                    C/G
Dreaming all of your days
       C/G       G                    C
So you never did wake when the angels played

Verse
          C                  G
There was fire in the tunnel fire in the wash
        F              C/G
And the ringing of the bells
    Dm    G/B F                    C/G
You never did wake when the angels played


Am                     Em
Maybe you?ll find your silver
F                      C/G
Maybe you?ll find your gold
Am                Em                   F
Maybe we?ll meet again on the road sometime

Verse
C                 G
Storm in December storm in July
      F                              C
I was standing in the door, When you said goodbye
    Dm    G/B F                    C/G
You never did wake when the angels played

Instrumental
C/G G Fadd9 C

And the ringing of the bells
    Dm    G/B F                    C/G
You never did wake when the angels played


Am                     Em
Maybe you?ll find your silver
