   Intro:     G     D     C     Am   x4


   G    D            C                        G
  You, you who has smiled when you're in pain
   D           C                            G
  You who has soldiered through the profane
    D            C                     G    D    C
  They were distracted and shut down

       G   D             C                G
  So why, why would you talk to me at all
   D                  C                    G
  Such words were dishonorable and in vain
          D         C             G
  Their promise as solid as a fog
D       C
  And where was your watchman then

 
G               D          C            Am
  I'll be your keeper for life as your guardian
G               D          C         (Am)
  I'll be your warrior of care your first warden
G               D        C            Am
  I'll be your angel on call, I'll be on demand
G               D        C
  The greatest honor of all, as your guardian

 
   G    D           C                 G
  You, you in the chaos feigning sane
   D           C                          G
  You who has pushed beyond what's humane
    D           C                G     
  Them as the ghostly tumbleweed
D       C
  And where was your watchman then
 

G               D          C            Am
  I'll be your keeper for life as your guardian
G               D          C         (Am)
  I'll be your warrior of care your first warden
G               D        C            Am
  I'll be your angel on call, I'll be on demand
G               D        C
  The greatest honor of all, as your guardian
 
  G    D    C    Am   x2


  G    D        C                   G
  Now no more smiling mid crestfall
  D             C                G
  No more managing unmanageables
      D             C                    G
  No more holding still in the hailstorm
D     Am         G       C     D    
  Now enter your watchwoman


G               D          C            Am
  I'll be your keeper for life as your guardian
G               D          C         (Am)
  I'll be your warrior of care your first warden
G               D        C            Am
  I'll be your angel on call, I'll be on demand
G               D        C
  The greatest honor of all, as your guardian

  G    D    C    Am   x 8
