Tricks Of The Trade Chords

Capo on 2nd fret(Key: D)
 
 
[Intro]
C  Em  F  F (2X)
 
 
[Verse]
         C
Was it love or recognition that
     Em
has healed this man's condition
      F
I'm hoping and I'm wishing that
      G
this bird won't fly away
C
We can see life hand in hand,
     Em
the green, the blue, the rough, the sand
    F
And in our time and in our land
        G
we'll savor everyday
 
 
[Chorus]
    Am                     C    Em
And oh, how our glory may fade away, well
     F
at least we've learned
                       G
some things along the way
 
 
[Verse]
     C
You took me from my bubble
        Em
knowing my defense was weak
         F
And you sat there and you listened
     G
any time I chose to speak
      C
you gathered from my pleas to 
     Em
you that I am but a clown
        F                    G
And I fear only a hero can defeat
 
these demons now
 
 
[Chorus]
    Am                     C    Em
And oh, how our glory may fade away, well
     F
at least we've learned some
  G         C
tricks of trade
 
Em  F  F  C  Em  F  F
 
Am                                C   Em
And as time shall inevitably move on, mmmmh well then
     F
at least we'll have four strong
          G
legs to stand on
             C
To keep us alive...
