Gordon Lightfoot - Endless Wire Chords

CAPO: 2nd Fret



[INTRO:] E   Em

[VERSE 1:]
  C         D          Em
I ain't got nothing to hide 
  C           D       Em
My mind is an endless wire 
  C        D           Em
I got both feet on the ground 
  C         D          Em
I ain't got no one for hire 


[VERSE 2:]
  C           D        Em
I ain't got a thing to show 
   C          D     Em
My lives have all expired 
   C        D        Em
So don't go fooling around 
    C      D       Em
And set my wheels afire


[CHORUS:]
Am                    D
Down in the dark of a burnt out soul
          Gmaj7                Cmaj7
There's a few good second hand dreams
Am                    D                   Gmaj7   E7
Deep in the dark of a heavenly night with you
Am                     D
Down in the black of a bottomless hole
          Gmaj7                Cmaj7
There's a few good second hand scenes
Am                    D
Deep in the dark of a heavenly blue
          Gmaj7    Cmaj7   Amaj7     E     Em
Where the sea runs green


[VERSE 3:]
  C         D          Em
I ain't got nothing to give 
   C          D       Em
My life is an endless climb
   C        D         Em
My love's a paperback dream
  C          D           Em
I don't have nothing but time 


[VERSE 4:]
  C           D        Em
I ain't got a thing to show 
  C          D      Em
I don't know my own name
   C        D        Em
So don't go fooling around
    C      D       Em
And set my wheels aflame


[INSTRUMENTAL:] C  D  Em  (8x)


[CHORUS:]
Am                    D
Down in the dark of a beat out soul 
          Gmaj7                Cmaj7
There's a few good second hand dreams
Am                    D                   Gmaj7   E7
Deep in the dark of a heavenly night with you
Am                     D
Down in the black of a bottomless hole
          Gmaj7                Cmaj7
There's a few good second hand scenes
Am                    D
Deep in the dark of a heavenly blue
          Gmaj7    Cmaj7   Amaj7     E     Em
Where the sea runs green

  C          D          Em
I don't have no one for hire
