[Intro 1]
[Em][G][D]
[A][Em][G][D][A]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Keep your
powder [G]dry and warm
[D]Through the coming [A]darkest storm
[Em]All the fear that'[G]s sent your way
[D]through your eyes,
you might [A]wash away
When you can
[Em]Still your lantern's strong [G]and bright
[D]Even through the[A] darkest night
[C]All those paper tiger[G]s
[D]All their lies, they [Em]might have sold you
[C]Might be wasted [G]on
[D]One so young that you're old again
[A]She walks out through the wind

[Interlude 1]
and the rain
[Em][G][D][A]

[Verse 2]
[Em]They can't give you [G]all those things
No [D]pot of gold, no [A]big brass ring
[Em]Stay on the road for [G]the night has come
Per[D]haps at dawn we will be [A]like one again

[Verse 3]
[C]All those paper tiger[G]s
[D]All the lies they mig[Em]ht have sold you
[C]Might be wasted [G]on
[D]One so young that you're old again
[A]Sylvia walks through the

[Interlude 2]
wind and the rain
[Em][G]
Still the [D]shock

[Verse 4]
rips you through
[A]every ner[Em]ve[G]
In the bell [D]jar nothing [A]can be heard
Hmm, [C]ah yeah

[Interlude 3]
[Em][G][D][A][Em][G][D][A]

[Verse 5]
I would [Em]walk with you
I [G]would talk with you
I would [D]do anything that
would [A]get you through
Draw the [Em]line for you
Take [G]the fifth for you
I [D]would stand on a bridge
and jump [A]off it too

[Verse 6]
[C]Now those paper [G]ti gers
[D]Now the lies they mig[Em]ht have sold you
[C]Might be wasted [G]on
[D]One so young that you're old again
[C]All those paper [G]ti gers
[D]All the lies they mig[Em]ht have sold you
[C]Might be wasted [G]on
[D]One so young that you're old again
Sylvi[A]a walks out through
the wind and the rain
[Em]
