Beyond The Iron Gate

INTRO: C   G    (2x)  C

                            G        C
First warm day in all these months
                         G       F
All the sunlight made me drunk
                          C
Made me feel like I could run
                        G       C
Made me feel like I was young


                        G    C
So I went out all on my own
                        G    F
I told no one where I'd go
                 C
Anyway I did not know
                     G    F
I only knew I had to go


CHORUS:
                    C     ~ Am
Out beyond the iron gate
                   F   G       C
Out there where you said you'd wait


INTERLUDE: C   G   (2x)  C


                          G      C
I'd gotten used to living here
                       G     F
Call it habit, call it fear
                                  C
Though I had glanced your way for years
                       G       C
Until today, I'd never dared


                         G         C
But it was easy slipping through
                    G     F
Easy as the morning dew
                           C
That lingers 'til the afternoon
                        G      F
And rises back into the blue


CHORUS:
                    C     ~ Am
Out beyond the iron gate
                   F   G       C
Out there where you said you'd wait


INSTRUMENTAL: C   G   (4x)   F   C   G   C


                           G     C
There you were right by my side
                         G      F
Reaching down to lift me high
                      C
I held on with all my might
                       G      F
Held onto a world made right


CHORUS:
                    C     ~ Am
Out beyond the iron gate
                   F   G       C
Out there where you said you'd wait


INTERLUDE: C   G    (2x)  C


                        G        C
I heard the voices all around
                       G        F
Someone lifted off the shroud
                          C
I saw my children gather 'round
                               G       F
And I will tell them what I've found


CHORUS:
                    C     ~ Am
Out beyond the iron gate
                   F   G       C
Out there where you said you'd wait
