• The Prizefighter and the Heiress

The prizefighter and the heiress
G D
Both talented in their way
D A
Both fighting for inheritance
G D
Both entitled to their day

D A
Said the fella, "I've thrown my gloves
G D
And loosed my shoes
D A
Come join me in the ring, my friend
G D A G
Quit these lonesome blues
G D A G
Quit my lonesome blues"

D A
The lady thought the longest while
G D
And bathed the time in light
D A
She came to the conclusion
G D
That he hadn't won the fight

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

D A
I'm a fortune telling concubine
G D
I'm a troubleshot saloon
D A
You're a welterweight companion
G D
And your light is at the loom

D A
I'd rather chase my options now
G D
And place you in the past
D A
The future's not yet written
G D A G
Though the die behind me is cast
G D A G
The die behind me is cast

D G D
I don't know anything about you
A G Em
But I'm sure that the doors of perception
G D
Are true in their ways
Em G
In the face of it all
G D Bm
In the stark staring face of it

Bm A Bm
D A Bm A Bm

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

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

G D
End of the requiem
F# Bm
End of the fight
G D
End of the struggles
Bm (A) D
At the end of the night

Bm D
Stop where you laugh
A Bm
And look where you walk
D D5
Manage your head
A (Bm A) Bm
As you lighten your talk

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

G D
End of the requiem
F# Bm
End of the fight
G D
End of the struggles
Bm (A) D
At the end of the night

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

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

G D
Thanks for the dark
F# Bm
Thanks for the light
G D
Thanks for my guide
Bm (A) D
At the end of the night

G D
End of the requiem
F# Bm
End of the fight
G D
End of the struggles
Bm (A) Bm
At the end, at the end
(A) Bm (A) D
At the end of the night
