Sting - Dead Man's Rope: chords

C
A million footsteps,

this left foot drags behind my right
F                         G
But I keep walking, from daybreak
'til the falling night

And as days turn into weeks and years
And years turn into lifetimes
I just keep walking, like
I've been walking for a thousand years

C
Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow
 F                         G
Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow
C
If you're walking to escape,
to escape from your affliction
          F
You'd be walking in a great circle,
   G
a circle of addiction
C
Did you ever wonder what you'd
been carrying since the world was black?
             F
You see yourself in a looking glass
        G
with a tombstone on your back

Chorus:
C
Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow
F                       G
Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow
(Walk Away...)
C
Walk away in anger, walk away in pain
F                         G
Walk away from life itself, walk into the rain

Am  F    G    Em  F    Dm               G
All this wandering has led me to this place
            E             Am         F             Fm  Em
Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness
          F               G
I'm just hanging here in space

Now I'm suspended between my darkest fears and dearest hope
Yes I've been walking, now I'm hanging from a dead man's rope
With Hell below me, and Heaven in the sky above
I've been walking, I've been walking away from Jesus' love

Chorus

All this wandering has led me to this place
Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness
I'm just hanging here in space

 Cm             G#
The shadows fall
           F
Around my bed
          Em        Fm
When the hand of an angel
    Em         Fm        G        F#
The hand of an angel is reaching down
 Bm    G   A
above my head

All this wandering has led me to this place
Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness
Now I'm walking in his grace
Now I'm walking in his grace

A
I'm walking in his footsteps
Walking in his footsteps - x2

D                   G                     A
All the days of my life I will walk with you (x2)
D                   G      Bm    A
All the days of my life I will share with you
D                   G      Bm   A
All the days of my life I will bear with you

D
Walk away in anger, walk away in pain
Em                        A                    D
Walk away from life itself, walk into the rain
