Seven Years Chords

(ver. 1)
David Byrne
[Intro]
C
 
[Verse 1]
C                           Am
For seven years I've been in here
F                       G
Seven years down in the hole, they said
C                                  Am
"Your watch, your glasses and your wedding ring
F                      G
You won't need them anymore."
 
[Bridge]
Em                       B
I felt abandoned, I felt cast aside
Bbm                       B
So where is God who never sleeps?
E         C                Am         G
I heard a voice say, "Why do you cry?"
F                     G
Then I found my inner peace
 
[Instrumental]
C
 
[Verse 2]
C                        Am
Ninoy, you were my first love
F                      G
But you said I was too tall
C                                 Am
The heart gets stronger and grows colder
F                    G
For the Rose of Tacloban
 
[Bridge]
Em                          B
I begged to God could he forgive me now?
Bbm                              B
And take back all those things I said
E           C          Am         G
This moment was a gift from above
F                       G
Maybe it's some kind of test
 
[Chorus]
E           Am
Santo Niño, Santo Niño
E                    Am
Take good care of him
E           Am
Santo Niño, Santo Niño
E                    Am
Take good care of him
 
[Instrumental]
C
 
[Verse 3]
C                          Am
Ninoy, remember a long time ago
F                         G
You used to walk me to my home?
C                                Am
Who set you free? Who built this hospital?
F                               G
You think I hate you but you're wrong
 
[Bridge]
Em                          B
For seven years I wore this crucifix
Bbm                          B
A necklace that watched over me
E       C             Am       G
Face to face with mortality
F                  G
I let go of all my fears
 
[Verse 4]
C                       Am
Now my husband he might hate you
F                         G
But you know I saved your life
C                 Am
Ninoy, don't be a hero
F                            G
I beg you, don't get on that flight
 
[Chorus]
E           Am
Santo Niño, Santo Niño
E                    Am
Take good care of him
E           Am
Santo Niño, Santo Niño
E                    Am
Take good care of him
 
[Chorus]
E           Am
Santo Niño, Santo Niño
E                    Am
Take good care of him
E           Am
Santo Niño, Santo Niño
E                    Am
Take good care of him
