A Sort of Homecoming
--------------------
Intro G6 D2 G6 D2 G6 D2 G6 D2
And you know it's time to go
through G6the sleet and drivingD2 snow
across the fieldsG6 of mourning to a D2
light's in G6the distance
D2 G6 D4 D2
And you hunger for the time
time to heal, 'Desire', time
and your earth moves beneath
your own dream landscape
G G2 G G2 D2 D4 D Gii
Oh, ho, ho on borderland we run________
GI'll be there,G2 I'llG be thereG2
D2 D4 D Gii
tonight, a high road, a high road out of here
the city walls are all come down
the dust a smoke screen all around to see
faces ploughed like fields that once
gave no resistance
And we live by the side of the road
on the side of a hill as the valleys explode
dislocated, suffocated
the land grows weary of it's own
G6O come away, o comeD2 away, o comeG6, o come away I sayD2 I hmm hmm
G6O come away, o comeD2 away, o comeG6, o come away I sayD2 I
GOh, ho,G2 hoG on G2borderland we D2run, and D4still we run, we Drun and don't look bacGk
GI'll be there,G2 I'llG be thereG2 tonight tonighD2t D4 toDnight D4
I'll be C7there tonight, I believe. I'll be there so high (land),
I'll be there tonight, toDnight_D2_______G6____D2
G6O come away, I sinD2g I say, um ha, G6o come awD2ay oh say.
G6 D2 G6 D2
The wind will crackG6 in wintertime
D2this bomb-blG6ast lightning waltz
D2no spoken G6words, just a D2screG6am . . . yD4eah.D... Goh..G2...... Goh..G2...
D2 D4 D Gii
tonight we'll build a bridge across the sea and land
Gsee the sky burG2ning rain
G G2 D2 D4 D Gii G6 D2 G6 D4 D G6 D2 G6 D4 D
she will die and live again tonight_______
And you heart beats so slow
through the rain and fallen snow
across the fields of morning
to a light that's in the distance
Oh don't sorrow, no don't weep
for tonight, at last
I am coming home
I am coming home

Pride (In the name of love) [Capo on 1st fret]
Intro chords A A G Em
OAne man come in the nDame of love,
OGne man come and Emgo.
OAne come here to justDify,
OGne man to overthEmrow,
IAn the name of love, D
WGhat more in the Emname of love.
One man crawled on a barbed wire fence,
One man he resist.
One man washed on an empty beach.
One man betrayed with a kiss.
In the name of love,
What more in the name of love.
Early morning, April 4.
A shot rings out in the Memphis sky.
Free at last, they took your life,
But they could not take your pride.
In the name of love,
What more in the name of love.

"The Unforgettable Fire"
DmIce, your only Bbrivers run cold
These city Dmlights, they shine in Bbsilver and gold
Dug from the Dmnight, your eyes as Bbblack as coal Dm Bb F
CWalk on by, walk on through, Ebwalk till you run
And don't look Bbback, for here, I Dmam Bb
CarnDmival, the wheels fly and the Bbcolors spin, through alcoDmhol
Red wine that Bbpunctures the skin
Face to Dmface, in a dry and Bbwaterless place F
CWalk on by, walk on thorugh, so Ebsad to besiege your love so Bbhead on
FStay tonight, Cstay tonight in a lie
EbI'm only asking but I Bbthink you know F
Come on take me Caway
Come on take me Gmaway
Come on take me Ahome, home aDmgain
Instrumental

(Now I'm at the part where the violins repeat the chords three times,
sounding like "da-Da-DA")

And if the mountain should Ccrumble, or disapEbpear into the sea
Not a Bbtear nor not I, Fstay in this time
CStay tonight, in a lie
EbEver after, Bbthere's love in time
And if you Fsave it all, save your Clove
Don't Gmpush me too far, don't Apush me too far, Dmtonight, tonight

Promenade
C F-C
Earth, sky, sea, and rain
F-C
Here she comes back again.
F-C
Men stroll, sneak the hall
F-C
Words that build or destroy.
F C F-C
Dirt dry bones and stones.
C F-C
Barbed wire fence cut me down,
I'd like to be around.
In a spiral staircase
to the higher grAmound. G
And I like a firAmewall and expGlode.
Roman caFndlelightning lights Cup the sky.
In cracked streets, trample underfoot
Sidestep, sidewalk.
I see you stare into space.
Have I gotten closer now,
behind the face.
Tell me, will you dance with me,
and turn me around tonight.
Up though the spiral staircase to the higher ground.
See slide show, see side town,
coca-cola, football, radio radio radio . . .

Now, the chords appear below the words. I suggest you use tab riff as shown
above for the main verse, but you can always try it with the chord
formations at the end of this file to get a more acoustic feel.

Bruised silken skies and burning flag.
Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes.

Hoo, hoo Hoo, hoo Hoo, hoo.

If I could, you know I would.
If I could, I would let it go.

And so to fade away.
To let it go,
And so fade away.
