Foy Vance - Closed Hand Full Of Friends Chords

[Intro]
Eb
 
[Verse]
Eb
The scenery's changing and it warms my soul
Eb
I'm 200 miles down and a long way yet to go
Eb
So get your boots on and your walking cool
Eb
And we'll together leave our footprints upon a virgin snow
 
Eb            Bb      Cm Ab
That ancient sunrise         will soon descend
Eb           Bb                         Cm     Ab
And we'll be left here pondering on the things which you cannot change
Eb
So let's start over with no means to an end
Eb       Bb                         Cm         Ab
Just in love and out of hope and a closed hand, full of friends
 
[Break]
Eb F Gmin Ab X2
Bb
 
[Chorus]
             Eb                           Ab
Yeah, well, livin' was alright but I was dead in the water
          Eb                              Ab
Couldn't see it in its light, I couldn't kneel in its altar
Cm                                              Bb
All I wanted was to tear it right down to the ground
        Eb               Bb             Eb      Ab
But I'm feeling alright now, yeah, I'm feeling alright
 
[Break]
Ab Bb Cm Ab
 
[Verse]
Eb    Bb     Cm Ab                  Eb
Every morning     when the coffee's on
Eb        Bb                           Cm Ab
And I rediscover that color in your eyes, in its gold and its bronze
Eb
And in the moonlight go get the camera, just go
Eb       Bb             Cm   Ab
With the recitations of the parish poets popping on our scrolls
 
[Break]
Eb F Gmin Ab X2
Bb
 
[Chorus]
              Eb                    Ab
Yeah, well, I was alright but I was dead in the water
         Eb                         Ab
Couldn’t see in it's light, I couldn't kneel in its altar
Cm                                            Bb
All I wanted was a turn right down to the promising
             Eb        Ab
Through this fleeting culture
    Bb                 Eb              Ab
And hide away from the wolves and the vultures
Cm                                                Bb
All they wanted was to tear me right down to the ground
         Eb                Bb                 Eb           Ab
Oh, I'm feeling alright, I am now, yeah, I'm feeling alright

Eb
In the recitations of the parish poets
Eb
In the buildings, in the burrows, in the locked boats
Eb
I will find my means to an end
Eb
With an open heart in hold and a closed hand, full of friends
