Capo 1
(verse 1)
G5 D5 C5 G5 C5 G5
When you close your eyes there?s a frightened pride that lives for you
A5 D5 A5 C5 D5 C5 D5
That your mothers life and your father?s eyes can?t hide.
G5 D5 C5 G5 C5 G5
You had no choice didn?t ask the dice to fall for you
A5 D5 A5 C5 D5 C5 D5
Still your courage comes like thunder through the skies
(Chorus 1)
D5 G5 D5 C5 D5 G5 D5 C5 D5
You?re always the winner, the victor and the giver
G5 D5 A5 C5 G5 D5
Somewhere through that winter, you will not grow old
(verse 2)
G5 D5 C5 G5 CG5
So you carry time down the tortured line where mysteries show
A5 D5 A5 C5 D5 C5 D5
Well hidden from lifes learned and life?s wise
G5 D5 C5 G5 C5 G5
Man?s useless ways and worthless conversations
A5 D5 A5 C5 D5 C5
Lie well exposed and humbled in your smile
(Chorus 2)
D5 G5 D5 C5 D5 G5 D5 C5 D5
You?re always the winner, the victor and the giver
D5 G5 D5 A5 C5 D5 C5
Somewhere through that winter, you?ll never be alone
D5 G5 D5 C5 D5 G5 D5 C5 D5
For evermore the winner, the taker and the giver
G5 D5 A5 C5 G5 D5
Somewhere through that winter, you will not grow old.
(Bridge)
A5 G5
Still you run out in the morning, with the boys and girls
C5 G5
A miracle of innocence on a head of curls
A5 G5
We?ll search every reason wherever we roam
A5 D5
To find a place for these broken hearts and bones
C5 G5 A5 G5
We?ll keep a fire on the hillside, after the summer?s gone
A5 C5 G5 D5
And we?ll wait her for the war-wounded to come home.
(Chorus 3)
D5 G5 D5 C5 D5 G5 D5 C5 D5
You?re always the winner, the victor and the giver
G5 D5 A5 C5 D5 C5
Somewhere through that winter, you?ll never be alone
D5 G5 D5 C5 D5 G5 D5 C5 D5
For evermore the winner, the taker and the giver
G5 D5 A5 C5 G5
Somewhere through that winter, you will not grow old.
