This is a very beautiful song by Cockburn and I thought it would be nice to put the
actual chords up. This song is played by finger picking but I'm too lazy to tasb that
out, so here are the chords.

Capo III

C (x32010@1)    G/B (143121@7)         F2/A
Sunset is an angel weeping
C (x32010@1)     G/B (143121@7)          F2/A
Holding out a bloody sword
C (x32010@1)       G/B (143121@7)            F2/A
No matter how I squint I cannot
C (x32010@1)      G/B (143121@7)                F2/A
Make out what it's pointing toward
F (133211@1)                            GSometimes (320003@1)you feel like you've lived too long
Am (x02210@1)                               FDays (133211@1)drip slowly on the page
FYou (133211@1)catch yourself
G (320003@1)             F (133211@1)        GPacing (320003@1)the cage
C (x32010@1)         G/B (143121@7)              F2/A
I've proven who I am so many times
C (x32010@1)          G/B (143121@7)         F2/A
The magnetic strips worn thin
C (x32010@1)           G/B (143121@7)            F2/A
And each time I was someone else
C (x32010@1)       G/B (143121@7)          F2/A
And everyone was taken in
F (133211@1)                     GPowers (320003@1)chatter in high places
Am (x02210@1)                                     FStir (133211@1)up eddies in the dust of rage
G (320003@1)                      F (133211@1)            GSet (320003@1)me to pacing the cage
C (x32010@1)     G/B (143121@7)              F2/A
I never knew what you  all wanted
C (x32010@1)  G/B (143121@7)            F2/A
So I gave you everything
C (x32010@1)      G/B (143121@7)     F2/A
All that I could pillage
C (x32010@1)     G/B (143121@7)                 F2/A
All the spells that I could sing
F (133211@1)                        GIt's (320003@1)as if the thing were written
Am (x02210@1)                              FIn (133211@1)the constitution of the age
FSooner (133211@1)or later you'll wind up
G (320003@1)             F (133211@1)          GPacing (320003@1)the cage

SOLO

C (x32010@1)           G/B (143121@7)                     F2/A
Sometimes the best map will not guide you
C (x32010@1)       G/B (143121@7)                  F2/A
You can't see what's round the bend
C (x32010@1)           G/B (143121@7)                     F2/A
Sometimes the road leads through dark places
C (x32010@1)           G/B (143121@7)              F2/A
Sometimes the darkness is your friend
F (133211@1)                   GToday (320003@1)these eyes scan bleached out land
Am (x02210@1)                                            FFor (133211@1)the coming of the outbound stage
G (320003@1)            F (133211@1)           
Pacing the cage
G (320003@1)             F (133211@1)       CPacing (x32010@1)the cage
