*Use a capo @ third fret*

        D5              A5
The prizefighter and the heiress
      G5            D5
Both talented in their way
      D5           A5
Both fighting for inheritance
      G5            D5
Both entitled to their day

        D5                 A5
Said the fella, "I've thrown my gloves
       G5      D5
And loosed my shoes
       D5           A5
Come join me in the ring, my friend
       G5          DAG5
Quit these lonesome blues
       G5       DAG5
Quit my lonesome blues"

      D5                    A5
The lady thought the longest while
      G5                    D5
And bathed the time in light
      D5                   A5
She came to the conclusion
      G5            D5
That he hadn't won the fight

          D5                  A5
"Put your gloves back on," she says
      G5            D5
"And steady with your pride
      D5                      A5
You've dealt the eldest hand, my love
      G5                    DAG5
But that part of me has died
       G5          DAG5
That part of me has died"

      D5            A5
I'm a fortune telling concubine
      G5          D5
I'm a troubleshot saloon
         D5            A5
You're a welterweight companion
        G5              D5
And your light is at the loom

      D5                   A5
I'd rather chase my options now
      G5                  D5
And place you in the past
      D5                   A5
The future's not yet written
          G5                DAG5
Though the die behind me is cast
     G5                 DAG5
The die behind me is cast

    D5         G5           D5
I don't know anything about you
       A5            G5        E5
But I'm sure that the doors of perception
      G5            D5
Are true in their ways
      E5         G5
In the face of it all
      G5            D5       B5
In the stark staring face of it

B5 A5 B5
D5  A5 B5 A5 B5

      B5             D5
If you ask me where I'm going
      A5             B5
I'll tell you where I've been
      D5             D5
'Cept you don't remember yesterday
      A5         ( B5 A5 ) B5
And I don't remember anything

  B5           D5
"Journey me west
    A5             B5 
Or journey me south"
       D5            D5
Said, "Please put me down
        A5      ( B5  A5 )       B5
Where my heart meets my mouth
 A5        B5
Meets my mouth"

 G5            D5
End of the requiem
 F#5          B5
End of the fight
 G5            D5
End of the struggles
       B5     ( A5 )  D5
At the end of the night

 B5            D5
Stop where you laugh
     A5               B5 
And look where you walk
 D5           D5
Manage your head
      A5   ( B5 A5 )  B5
As you lighten your talk

 B5           D5
Solace made bones
            A5             B5 
And they're chanting for air
 D5            D5
Sucking from mead
      A5    ( B5 A5 ) B5
In the coast of Rosslare
 A5     B5
Of Rosslare

 G5            D5
End of the requiem
 F#5          B5
End of the fight
 G5            D5
End of the struggles
       B5     ( A5 )  D5
At the end of the night

B5          D5
Me and my dream
   A5            B5 
As me and my girl
      D5      
Have more than
    D5                 A5  ( B5 A5 ) B5
A thousand square miles to twirl

     B5                    D5
The earth loves her children
        A5               B5 
Look and don't break your stride
 D5              D5
Keep watching forward
      A5    ( B5  A5 )  B5
Got an owl, watch my pride
 A5        B5
Watch my pride

 G5            D5
Thanks for the dark
 F#5            B5
Thanks for the light
 G5            D5
Thanks for my guide
       B5     ( A5 )  D5
At the end of the night

 G5            D5
End of the requiem
 F#5          B5
End of the fight
 G5            D5
End of the struggles
       B5      ( A5 ) B5
At the end, at the end
   ( A5 ) B5     ( A5 )  D5
At the end of the night
