LOST AND FOUND

Em | D | C6 | Em

Em
Even the wolf can learn,
D
even the sheep can turn,
C6                              Em
even the frog bcome at last the prince

Em
No more imagined insults
    D
and no more bloated pride -
C6
I'll see you at the wedding,
		    Bm A    G
I'll see you on the o- ther side
Em
and I'll hold my peace forever
	 D
but I'll hold my passion more...
		Bm   A        G
	I'll be hol- ding the door
    Em
and waiting for the princess -
	      D
I could say I'm waiting for the world,
C6
but when it comes right down to it
	   Bm  A            G
I'm simply wai-ting for the girl.
Em
On through the ring of changes
	      D
I'll be at my side in a single bound,
	Bm   A   G
	lost and found
	G       A     Bm   A   G
	looking to be lost and found.
	G       A     Bm   A   G
	looking to be lost and found.
	G    A     Bm   A   G
	I'll to be lost and found.
	G    A     Bm   A   G
	I'll to be lost and found.

	G       A

A        E           B                                D              A
La Rossa extends her hands - in the morning light the stigmata don't show
		  E      B                      D                      A
She's up already, making plans; she thinks it's maybe time he ought to go
		   E           B                 D                  A
And she's friendly like it's a service but she's ringing around his head -
			E          B
though he knows she has no further use for him
			 D               A
still he feels like he's raised from the dead.
	   E         B                    D             A
Out to the cold grey daylight, never ever wondering, of course,
		 E       B
if one moment of perfect passion
	   D           A
is worth a lifetime of remorse.

The guitar "solo" (would you consider a two-notes line as solo?) is played
through the same chords sequence, here it is, with durations in beats:

A (6 beats)   E (2 beats)   | B (6 beats)   D (2 beats)


	Em
So it's no more empty promises
    D
and no more idle threats;
C6                      Bm       A   G
no more 'if only's' and no more 'and yet's';
		       Em
no more wishes for the future
	D
no more denials of the past;
	    Bm   A  G
	I'm free at last
	(A)    Bm   A  G
	I'm in love at last
	(A) Bm   A   G
	I'm lost and found

The chord sequence continues as the voices faid:
Bm (4 beats)   A (4 beats)  |  G (7 beats)   A (1 beat)

		...put on your red dress, baby...
		...cos we're going out, tonight...
		...put on your high heeled slippers...
		...everything's gonna be alright?
