Intro:
Am F Am Fmaj7
Verse 1:
Am Fmaj7 Am
Its many a blood red carpet, my unsteady feet have trod
Am
and its many a night I've shamed myself
Am Fmaj7 Am
beneath the rows and rows of bottles
Am
I took up with a working girl
Fmaj7 Am
No work we did that season
Am Fmaj7 Am
And the sins we waged upon ourselves have never needed reason
Chorus:
C G Dm F C
Ohhhh But a simple walk with thee
C G Dm F G
Ohhh would have been all right
C G Dm Am
How I'd love to belay you on
F E7 A
the wall of early morning light
Am F Am F Am
Verse 2:
Am
When I miner leaves, he leaves nothing
F Am
But a big old hole in the ground
Am
Not a row does he sow, and its quickly he goes
Am Fmaj7 Am
When his motherload strike isn't found
Am
In my soul, I've been a miner
Am Fmaj7 Am
And I have dug in the cold, cold earth
Am
Never once did I look inside myself
Fmaj7 F Am
to see what my spirit was worth
Chorus:
C G Dm F C
Ohhhh But a simple walk with thee
C G Dm F G
Ohhh would have been all right
C G Dm Am
How I'd love to belay you on
F E7 A
the wall of early morning light
Am A
