Gold Braid

[Verse 1]
       D                     G
Though deep-set and somewhat shadowed
    D         G
Her life, her mystery
        Em7                G           A
Was not different than the way that he said
       D                          G    A    D
"Don't hide behind your hair that way"


[Verse 2]
D               G
In his heart he wishes her stardom
D                          G
His eyes want for her much more
              Em7                G           A
That's not so different than the way that he said
           D                      G    A    D
"There are so very few stars left", ooh


[Chorus]
            D      A         G
Well, don't hide behind your hair
       D      A        G
It's a bit of gold and braid
D    A        G
Easy come the tears
          G   A   D
You see a pathway
              D   A  G
Ending with a doorway
     D      A         G
She slips towards the doorway
           D       A     G
She's been waiting there all day
G   A     D
All these years


[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Continues after the ad
       D                     G
Though deep-set and somewhat shadowed
    D         G
Her life, her wisdom of old
            Em                 G           A
It's not so different than the way that he said
            D                               G    A    D
"Well don't hide your eyes from me that way, baby"

Well, don't hide your eyes from me
       D      A        G
It's a bit of gold and braid
D    A        G
Easy come the tears
           G   A   D
She sees a pathway
              D   A  G
Ending with a doorway
     D      A         G
She slips towards the doorway
          D       A     G
He's been waiting there all day
G   A     D
All these years

Em            D/F#    G
 Don't hide it
A           Em        D/F#
Ooh, in his heart, he wishes to forget her
       G
Like to make her better
    A
And hold her like a child

[Verse 4]
D                            G
Though deep-set and somewhat shadowed
       D         G
Is her life, her mystery
          Em                 G           A
It was no different than the way that he said
             D                              G    A    D
"Well, don't hide behind your hair that way, baby"

It's a bit of gold and braid

She sees a pathway

Ending with a doorway
     D      A         G
She slips towards the doorway
     D       A     G

When all the lights are on

When all the lights are on, well, there is lightning

He whispers, this time
D    A      G         G    A        D
"You cannot run away, run away from me"
D    A    G      D    A    G
