Sinner

SINNER

(Neil Finn/Marius deVries)

NOTES: At first this doesn't seem like a very likely acoustic

guitar song, but if you can get two guitarists -- one playing

the rhythm chords, and one playing the little riff, you can do

a really nice version.

INTRO: Gm C

Gm C Gm C

See it anyone, got my eyes got my face

Gm C Gm C

sing it everyone, got my nose got my blood

VERSE:

Gm C Gm C

conscience plays upon on me now

Gm C Gm C

safe until my luck runs out

Gm C

cuckoos call pendulum swings

Gm C

thought you knew everything

Gm C

lift my hands make the cross

CHORUS:

Gm F

Sinner I have never learned

Gm F

beginner I cannot return

G D#

forever I must walk this earth

C

like some forgotten soldier

VERSE:

These things I should keep to myself

but I feel somehow strangely compelled

under moonlight I stood wild and naked

I felt no shame, just my spirit awaken

Gm

Sinner

Seeing everything, got my eyes got my face

VERSE:

Fireball drop from the sky

all my dreams have come to pass

where's my faith, is it lost

I can't see it til I cast it off

CHORUS:

Sinner there is no such thing

beginner I have learned to sing

forever I must walk this earth

like some forgotten soldier

VERSE:

Today I am still disconnected

to the face that I saw in the clouds

and the closest I get to contentment

is when all of the barriers come down

(Sinner)

these things I should keep to myself

but I feel somehow strangely compelled

and the closest I get to contentment

is when all of the barriers come down

RIDE OUT: Gm C
