The keeper

1. I hear her voice, she calls to me,
Am Em
I know she's near me, but I
cannot see.
Em
Through prison walls that come
between
Am Bm
her
dreams of freedom and the real world
C D
where
her face is never seen.
Bm Em C Bm D
All the king's horses and all
his men
D B7
Em C Bm Am
A D
are
fearful of the power that can come from book and pen.
Am C D
And all the changes there that
can be found,
Am C D E
and far
away I hear a distant sound, it's rolling like thunder.

and tell them you won't take it
anymore !

G D F - C - G
rise up and catch the Keeper of
the Keys.

2. Oh, what ancient words
Am
Em
can
hold her here, but she's never heard
Em
by
men who claim the higher ground
Am Bm
it
was always there for them to have and hold
C

where
a woman's never found.
Bm Em C Bm D
All of the holy men who are at
her door,
D

are
frightened that their power will be lost for-ever-more.

If she believes her freedom's
on the way,
Am C D C
and
still it's getting louder every day, the sound of thunder.
