Following The Angels

Key: GHard

F#m

In that Gmoment, D there was Cpeace

No one Gwalked alone, D on the Cstreets

A miGgration, D of dancing Clined

GatheEmring returning Chome from the Dnight

It came GfalEmling Cdown

GFollowing the Emangels Cdown D

FFalling Bbdown

CFollowing the angels Abdown D

As the Gsun went down, D over the Cbridge

And the Gmusic and Ddance reached it's Cpitch

GSatelites they join the Dworld in the Cgames

Hope was Emborn again to Clive in the Dflames

If I Gnever live to Dsee another Cday

I wish that Git could always Dbe just that Cway

Like a Gsymphony D of dancing Clight

VaniEmshing the worlds Cwoes inDto the night

Man On The Rocks

Key: CHard

So you Ccome to my world, I can Dmshow you F

Where they Clead to the footprints in the Bbsand

On the Cpaths through the valleys and Dmcanyons F

To the Cveins in your arm, take my Bbhand

I?m the Dmman on the Amrocks on the Ebisland

The black pearl, the Bbfool on the Fhill

I?m the Fgold at the Amend of the Ebrainbow

If I ask you to Bbfollow, you Fwill

So you Ccome to my world to find Dmfreedom F

Give you Cwings to the stars, you can Bbfly

Bring you Chope and a dream to believe Dmin F

As you Cfloat through the dark, crimson Bbsky

I?m the Dmman on the Amrocks on the Ebisland

The jewel in the Bbcrown of the Fking

I?m the Fhope in the Amhearts of the Ebhelpless

The choir where Bbno-one will Csing

There?s a Ftrail out of the Ccanyon

There?s a Bbnew life waiting out Cthere

It?ll take you Fhome, out of this Cchasm

Where there?s Bbblue sky sunlight to Cshare

So you Fcome to my world to Gmescape it all Bb

And you?re Frunning from the dragons and the Ebfools

Through the Fdark, empty caverns deep Gmin your soul Bb

FChasing the tiger, the Ebjewels

I?m the the Gmman on the Dmrocks on the Abisland

I?m the beggar, the Ebloser, the Bbcheat

So now you Bbcome to the Dmgates for Abredemption

With a ball and Ebchain at your Ffeet

There?s a Bbtrail out of the Fcanyon

There?s a Ebnew life waiting out Fthere

It?ll take you Bbhome, out of this Fchasm

Where there?s Ebblue sky, sunlight to Fshare

Blue Night

Key: CCapo 1Hard

Abm

Bbm

To the whole Croom her Dmeyes are numb F

As she Greads from a Ctrue love Amstory

From the Dmpages of a book, her lover comes F

Her heart Gbleeds, it's a Ctrue love story

GMisty shape in the Amwindow by her Gbed

Dreaming on what she's read

Hero takes her Amhand and leads her Gthrough

Who knows what this night will do

COnly in the blue night, he comes to her

GOnly in the blue night Am

That's when the whole night belongs to her

GOnly in the blue night

DmI see a dark face by the moon's glow F

As she Greads from a Ctrue love Amstory

DmBeckoning hand, scratching at the window F

Her heart Gbleeds, it's a Ctrue love story

GMisty path and the Amnight is endless

GShe could be a Queen or a desert princess

Hero takes her Amhand and leads her Gthrough

Who knows what this night will do

COnly in the blue night, he comes to her

GOnly in the blue night Am

That's when the whole night belongs to her

GOnly in the blue night

COnly in the blue night

Only in the Gblue night (only in the blue Amnight)

That's when the whole night belongs to her

GOnly in the blue night D

She wants to break Afree C

From the cold Glight of realiDty

And then she drifts Aaway C

I hear her Amvoice say, "Come aBway"

Minutes

Key: GEasy

GMinutes seem like Dhours

And Chours they seem like Ddays

When the Gones you want are Dmissing

And they've Cgone their separate Dways

CWalking in a Gsunny garden Emempty like the Dmoon

And Cbirds that once could Gfly so high

Now Emsing a different Dtune

GWalking in the Dpark

The leaves are Cturning now it's Dfall

The Gtime has come for Dleaving

In their Ceyes that says it Dall

CPictures on the Gmantle

Tell the Emtales of better Dtimes

CMoments from a Glong long time Emago

When things were Dfine

DOne fine Gday

When the Cwild birds Dreturn

We'll Dlook back and Emsay

What a Clesson in life I've Dlearned

So Glight a broad wick Dcandle

In the Cwindow make it Dbright

You Gneed to find your Dway home

In the Cdark and deepest Dnights

And Cif you're lost and Ghomeless

In some Emlonely city Dzone

Just Cfollow back that Gwinding road

That Emleads you back on Dhome
