Capo 3rd fret

[] Well a wise man once said to me 
If your heart don’t break you wont be free []
[] But I’m as free as a [] bird 
[] Flying out [] over, [] flying out [] over the [] sea
I call out to the wind, but no one comes to let me in []
[]I hear the []thunder 
[] The weight on my [] shoulders
[] The weight upon my [] shoulders crushing [] me

[Chorus]
[] Shine [] down on this [] mountain 
[] Rain [] down on my [] face 
[F] Call [C] out to the [G] river 
To wash me [D] out to wash me [C] out of this [G] place

Well I wish that I was a sailor man 
With the wheel of the ship held in my hand [Em]
[C] But I don’t like the [D] water
[C] I’m more like the [D] anchor
[C] I wish I was the [D] anchor in [G] me
Sometimes I wish I was a sin 
So the ones I love wouldn’t let me [Em] in
[C] I wouldn’t have to [D] try 
[C] To find the [D] answers 
[C] To give them all the [D] answers they [G] need

[repeat CHORUS]

Instrumental (Rhythm: Chords from chorus repeated)

Well a wise man once said to me 
If your heart don’t break you wont be [Em] free
[C] But I’m as free as a [D] bird 
[C] Flying out [D] over
[C] Flying out [D] over the [G] sea
