The Messenger by Daniel Lanois

Intro: Am  Em  F  G  Am  C  F


Am      Em           F     G
Got a letter from a messenger
Am  C             F
I read it when it came
Am       Em           F     G        
It said that you were wanted
Am        C             F
You were bound and chained

C                           F
You had loved and you were handled
C                           G
You were poisoned you were pained
     Am     F         G               C
Oh no, Oh no you were naked you were shamed

Am         Em          F      G
You could almost touch heaven
Am     C                 F
Right there in front of you
Am    Em              F          G      
Liberty just slipped away from us
Am          C                F
Now there's so much work to do

C                         F
Oh the door that closes tightly
C                             G
Is the door that can't swing wide
     Am     F      G           C
Oh no, Oh no but expecting to collide


C                       F
For a minute I let my guard down
                        C
Not afraid to be found out
          F
Completely forgotten
                    C
What our fears were all about
     Am     F           G                C
Oh no, Oh no there's no need to be without

Am        Em                 F     G
There's a chance and I will take it
Am    C                F
This desire I can't give
Am       Em                 F      G       
Take my heart please don't break it
Am      C             F
I will crawl to your foothill

C                       F
I'm frightened but I'm coming
C                        G
Please baby please lay still
 
    Am      F     G             C
Oh no, oh no not coming for the kill
Oh no, oh no not coming for the kill
Oh no, oh no not coming for the kill
