Cavalry Chords

(ver. 1)
Mandolin Orange
Capo on 3, standard tuning. 

Intro:
C Am C F
Dm Am G Dm G


Verse 1:
           C           G           Am           G       F
Well, I've carried the world on my back with no more to obtain
    Dm                F                            G
The fire in the sky-- a dim light in my eye that's long faded
         C                       Am           C            F
And I've stood where heroes have fallen their names turned to stone
  Dm                   F                        G           Dm G
Yet I remain nameless, the best friend the hero has known


Chorus:
        Am        C        F
Now I'm saving my strength for running
      C        G         Am     G    F
These days I'm saving my strength for running


Verse 2:
        C       G         Am     G           F
From the age of kings when pride decided all fate
     Dm                                  G
Long before war machines took charge and I was still 'wake
       C            G           Am                C     F
It was blind hope and blinders, with young men to carry between
        Dm                   F                             G     Dm G
All the death and the glory; believin' they're one and the same


Chorus:
        Am        C        F
Now I'm saving my strength for running
      C        G         Am     G    F
These days I'm saving my strength for running


Break:
Am C F
C G Am G F


Verse 3:
         C           G           Am           G       F
Yes I've carried the world on my back with no more to obtain
    Dm                   F                G             Am G
The sword and the shield perched upon saddles and reins
        C            G             Dm       G            F
But the stampedes of thunder, the cavalry's charge leaves me now
     Dm                 F             G                Dm G
Your last war will come but I can not follow you down


Chorus:
        Am        C        F
Now I'm saving my strength for running
      C        G         Am     G    F
These days I'm saving my strength for running
             Am                 C            F
I said these days I'm saving my strength for running
