LOST AND FOUND
Em | D | C6 | Em
Em
Even the wolf can learn,
D
even the sheep can turn,
C6 Em
even the frog bcome at last the prince
Em
No more imagined insults
D
and no more bloated pride -
C6
I'll see you at the wedding,
Bm A G
I'll see you on the o- ther side
Em
and I'll hold my peace forever
D
but I'll hold my passion more...
Bm A G
I'll be hol- ding the door
Em
and waiting for the princess -
D
I could say I'm waiting for the world,
C6
but when it comes right down to it
Bm A G
I'm simply wai-ting for the girl.
Em
On through the ring of changes
D
I'll be at my side in a single bound,
Bm A G
lost and found
G A Bm A G
looking to be lost and found.
G A Bm A G
looking to be lost and found.
G A Bm A G
I'll to be lost and found.
G A Bm A G
I'll to be lost and found.
G A
A E B D A
La Rossa extends her hands - in the morning light the stigmata don't show
E B D A
She's up already, making plans; she thinks it's maybe time he ought to go
E B D A
And she's friendly like it's a service but she's ringing around his head -
E B
though he knows she has no further use for him
D A
still he feels like he's raised from the dead.
E B D A
Out to the cold grey daylight, never ever wondering, of course,
E B
if one moment of perfect passion
D A
is worth a lifetime of remorse.
The guitar "solo" (would you consider a two-notes line as solo?) is played
through the same chords sequence, here it is, with durations in beats:
A (6 beats) E (2 beats) | B (6 beats) D (2 beats)
Em
So it's no more empty promises
D
and no more idle threats;
C6 Bm A G
no more 'if only's' and no more 'and yet's';
Em
no more wishes for the future
D
no more denials of the past;
Bm A G
I'm free at last
(A) Bm A G
I'm in love at last
(A) Bm A G
I'm lost and found
The chord sequence continues as the voices faid:
Bm (4 beats) A (4 beats) | G (7 beats) A (1 beat)
...put on your red dress, baby...
...cos we're going out, tonight...
...put on your high heeled slippers...
...everything's gonna be alright?
