This is a very beautiful song by Cockburn and I thought it would be nice to put the
actual chords up. This song is played by finger picking but I'm too lazy to tasb that
out, so here are the chords.
Capo III
/
Sunset is an angel weeping
/
Holding out a bloody sword
/
No matter how I squint I cannot
/
Make out what it's pointing toward
Sometimes you feel like you've lived too long
Days drip slowly on the page
You catch yourself
Pacing the cage
/
I've proven who I am so many times
/
The magnetic strips worn thin
/
And each time I was someone else
/
And everyone was taken in
Powers chatter in high places
Stir up eddies in the dust of rage
Set me to pacing the cage
/
I never knew what you all wanted
/
So I gave you everything
/
All that I could pillage
/
All the spells that I could sing
It's as if the thing were written
In the constitution of the age
Sooner or later you'll wind up
Pacing the cage
SOLO
/
Sometimes the best map will not guide you
/
You can't see what's round the bend
/
Sometimes the road leads through dark places
/
Sometimes the darkness is your friend
Today these eyes scan bleached out land
For the coming of the outbound stage
Pacing the cage
Pacing the cage
