Text File

Intro: A

A                   F#m
 I felt my life with both my hands
D                 B
 To see if it was there
A                        F#m
 I held my spirit to the Glass,
D            B
 To prove it possibler

E                  A
 I turned my Being round and round
C#                    F#m
  And paused at every pound
D                   A
 To ask the Owner's name
    E                             F#m
For doubt, that I should know the Sound
D                   A
 To ask the Owner's name
    E                             A
For doubt, that I should know the Sound

A                      F#m
 I judged my features, jarred my hair
D                    B
 I pushed my dimples by,
A                             F#m
 and waited, if they twinkled back
D                     B
 Conviction might, of me

E                  A
 I turned my Being round and round
C#                    F#m
  And paused at every pound
D                   A
 To ask the Owner's name
    E                             F#m
For doubt, that I should know the Sound
D                   A
 To ask the Owner's name
    E                             A
For doubt, that I should know the Sound

A                     F#m
 I told myself, "Take Courage, Friend,
D                  B
 That was a former time
A                               F#m
 But we might learn to like the Heaven,
D                   B
 As well as our Old Home!"

E                  A                    C#  
 I turned my Being round and round and round
     	                F#m
  And paused at every pound
D                   A
 To ask the Owner's name
    E                             F#m
For doubt, that I should know the Sound
D                   A
 To ask the Owner's name
    E                             A
For doubt, that I should know the Sound

A                               D
 I felt my life with both my hands
A                       D  A
 To see if it was there
