you would not be the woman that you are
    Am            Em        G        Bm7
if someone could mend your troubled heart
 Bbm7          Am7

that would be wrong

      Am           Em        G        Bm7
as if god and the devil had struck a deal

let there be one song
   C            G
a song for the little man

or pray for a stranger to lift their veil
 Bbm7          Am7
that would be everyone
              C
that would be us

 G

light would never keep us from itself
    Am           Em         G       Bm7
it bends to our window, we weep and yell
    Bbm7       Am7
but you are a daughter

you are a son

like you were oooooold

let there be horses
               D
there will be danger
Em            C   G
let there be one song
   C            G
a song for the little man
   C            G            C           G
a song for his wife and his two charmed children
     C                G    D
his children and his hope alive


instrumental: verse chords x2

end on G


*I play the Db like this: x43020  It is quite dissonant and I'm not sure what to 
call it, but it resolves quickly on the C.
