Neil Finn Sinner chords

Sinner by Neil Finn

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
