*Use a capo @ third fret*

	  D		  A
The prizefighter and the heiress
	G		D
Both talented in their way
	D	     A
Both fighting for inheritance
	G		D
Both entitled to their day

	  D		     A
Said the fella, "I've thrown my gloves
       G	D
And loosed my shoes
       D	     A
Come join me in the ring, my friend
       G	    DAG
Quit these lonesome blues
       G	 DAG
Quit my lonesome blues"

      D	        	A
The lady thought the longest while
      G	        	D
And bathed the time in light
      D	             A
She came to the conclusion
	G		D
That he hadn't won the fight

	    D	            A
"Put your gloves back on," she says
	G		D
"And steady with your pride
	D                      A
You've dealt the eldest hand, my love
      G	        	DAG
But that part of me has died
	 G	    DAG
That part of me has died"

	D		A
I'm a fortune telling concubine
	G	    D
I'm a troubleshot saloon
	   D		A
You're a welterweight companion
	  G		  D
And your light is at the loom

      D		       A
I'd rather chase my options now
      G		      D
And place you in the past
      D		       A
The future's not yet written
	    G		    DAG
Though the die behind me is cast
     G		     DAG
The die behind me is cast

    D   	G	     D
I don't know anything about you
	 A		G	  Em
But I'm sure that the doors of perception
      G   	   D
Are true in their ways
	Em	   G
In the face of it all
	G	      D       Bm
In the stark staring face of it

Bm A Bm
D  A Bm A Bm

	Bm		 D
If you ask me where I'm going
	A		 Bm
I'll tell you where I've been
	D		 D5
'Cept you don't remember yesterday
	A	   (Bm A)Bm
And I don't remember anything

  Bm	     D
"Journey me west
    A	       Bm 
Or journey me south"
	 D	      D5
Said, "Please put me down
	  A	(Bm  A)	 Bm
Where my heart meets my mouth
 A	  Bm
Meets my mouth"

 G	      D
End of the requiem
 F#	    Bm
End of the fight
 G	      D
End of the struggles
       Bm     (A)  D
At the end of the night

 Bm		D
Stop where you laugh
     A		   Bm 
And look where you walk
 D	     D5
Manage your head
	A   (Bm A)  Bm
As you lighten your talk

 Bm	     D
Solace made bones
	      A		 Bm 
And they're chanting for air
 D	      D5
Sucking from mead
	A    (Bm A) Bm
In the coast of Rosslare
 A     Bm
Of Rosslare

 G	      D
End of the requiem
 F#	    Bm
End of the fight
 G	      D
End of the struggles
       Bm     (A)  D
At the end of the night

Bm	    D
Me and my dream
   A	      Bm 
As me and my girl
      D	
Have more than
    D5	           A  (Bm A) Bm
A thousand square miles to twirl

     Bm	              D
The earth loves her children
	  A		   Bm 
Look and don't break your stride
 D	        D5
Keep watching forward
	A    (Bm  A)  Bm
Got an owl, watch my pride
 A	  Bm
Watch my pride

 G		D
Thanks for the dark
 F#		Bm
Thanks for the light
 G		D
Thanks for my guide
       Bm     (A)  D
At the end of the night

 G	      D
End of the requiem
 F#	    Bm
End of the fight
 G	      D
End of the struggles
       Bm      (A) Bm
At the end, at the end
   (A) Bm     (A)  D
At the end of the night
