The Crippled Lion
Introduction: C   /   Cm   /   D7

G                                    Fmaj7
Slowly I walk through the gently pouring rain
Cmaj7                 Cm7
I know that I will never pass this way again
G       G/F#        Em       E7
Never wondering why
Am           D7             G
Teardrops chafing my eyes

Longing to be where the noted kisses fall
Lingering and still, while quietly they tell their all
Blue is the colour of the sun
And nothing stops when everything is done

              C                D7             G          G/F#           Em

Now my whole world opens up in different rhymes and tunes
  
    C             D7                G
With highways making up the verse
             E7                                  Am
And then suddenly I see the light of something called the moon
      C                        Cm                    D7
And though my path is planned it's not rehearsed

So I move along to the next thing on the list
Knowing full well that some of them just don't exist
But I am finally alone
And where my foot steps down is where it's home

And where my foot steps down is where it's home
And where my foot steps down is where it's home
