Bruce Cockburn - Pacing The Cage Chords

Capo 4th

C       G/B             F2/A
Sunset is an angel weeping
C       G/B             F2/A
Holding out a bloody sword
C         G/B            F2/A
No matter how I squint I cannot
C        G/B             F2/A
Make out what it's pointing toward
F                              G
Sometimes you feel like you've lived too long
 C      C/B            Am       Am/G
Days drip slowly on the page
F
You catch yourself
G               C
Pacing the cage
C           G/B                F2/A
I've proven who I am so many times
C        G/B             F2/A
The magnetic strips worn thin
C            G/B         F2/A
And each time I was someone else
C         G/B    F2/A
And everyone was taken in
F                 G
Powers chatter in high places
C       C/B              Am     Am/G
Stir up eddies in the dust of rage
F  G            C
Set me to pacing the cage
C       G/B             F2/A
I never knew what you  all wanted
C       G/B          F2/A
So I gave you everything
C       G/B       F2/A
All that I could pillage
C       G/B                   F2/A
All the spells that I could sing
F                          G
It's as if the thing were written
C       C/B              Am     Am/G
In the constitution of the age
F       G 
Sooner or later you'll wind up
                 C
Pacing the cage

SOLO

C             G/B                F2/A
Sometimes the best map will not guide you
C        G/B                    F2/A
You can't see what's round the bend
C             G/B               F2/A
Sometimes the road leads through dark places
C           G/B                 F2/A
Sometimes the darkness is your friend
F                        G
Today these eyes scan bleached out land
C               C/B             Am      Am/G
For the coming of the outbound stage
 F   G          C
