Flickering Flame Tuning:E E When my neurons conspire to direct my thoughts A Away from divorce and competitive sports E B Back to the place where all rivers run to the sea A E Then I......I shall be free A E Yes I.......I shall be free C On a see-saw in a strange land F The jackdaw sat on the cardinals hand C And the fiddlers played And the planners plan what would be G G7 G G7 C On a back seat in a court room F sat Molly Malone and Leopold Bloom C Until the police came down with a new broom And swept them clean G G7 G G7 Am Like Geronimo Like Quinn the Eskimo Em Like the Blackfoot And like the Arapaho Am Like Crazy Horse D I'll be the last one to lay down my gun……… G C G C G G/F# Em D C D C On the open road in a bar room F A pick up band plays a new tune C When the coloured girls sing I feel my heart boom G G7 G G7 C When a new song hits the right note F When a clearing in the sky saves an old boat C When an insight strikes the mote From my own eye G G7 G G7 Am Like Geronimo Like Quinn the Eskimo Em Like Blackfoot And like the Arapaho Am Like Crazy Horse D I'll be the last one to lay down my gun……… G C G C G G/F# Em D They're the same beyond the next plain E I'll feel the heat of the flickering flame E A E B7 x2 A E x2 C On an African Plain by a thorn tree F My old friend Philippe is waiting for me C Quelle sera, sera What ever will be will be G G7 G G7 C When a friend dies and the tears rise F From that deep well that never runs dry C And the women break their bracelets And the men take their whisky outside G G7 G G7 Am Em Am D G C G C G G/F# Em D C D E In a pied 'a' terre A on the rue St Denis E The red velvet curtain pulls back to reveal B7 The place where the dark side meets the angel in me………..
