Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Difficulty: Novice EURYDICE: E D Promises you made to me E D You said the rivers and the trees Bm D Would fill our pockets and our plates Bm D Promises you made E D You said the birds would blanket us E D You said the world was generous Bm D And wouldn’t turn its back on us
Interlude:
Bm D
Bm
The river froze
A
The trees were bare
Bm A
And all the birds they disappeared
Bm C
So me too I flew away
C D
From promises you made
ORPHEUS:
E D
Promises you made to me
E D
You said that you would stay with me
Bm D
Whatever weather came our way
Bm D
Promises you made
Bm A
That we would walk, side by side
Bm A
Through all the seasons of our lives
Bm C
'Neath any sky, down any road
C D
Any way the wind blows
Interlude:
D A D A Bm G C D
D A
I have no ring for your finger
D A
I have no banquet table laid
Bm G
I have no bed of feathers
Bm A
Whatever promises I’ve made
D A
Can’t promise you fair sky above
D A
Can’t promise you kind road below
Bm C
But I’ll walk with you, my love
C D
Any way the wind blows
EURYDICE:
D A
I don’t need gold, don’t need silver
D A
Just bread when I’m hungry, fire when I’m cold
Bm G
Don’t need a ring for my finger
Bm A
Just need a steady hand to hold
D A
Don’t promise me fair sky above
D A
Don’t promise me kind road below
Bm C
Just walk with me, my love
C E
Any way the wind blows
ORPHEUS:

I don’t know where this road will end
E G
But I’ll walk with you into the wind
BOTH:
D A
I can’t promise you fair sky above

Can’t promise you kind road below

But I’ll walk with you, my love

Any way the wind blows
ORPHEUS:

Do you let me walk with you?

And keep on walking, come what will?
