Throw down a line    (video)

 

     A                                                               G                                 D

Throw down a line, help a poor boy who’s drowning in the stormy sea,

    A                                                             G                                  D

throw down a line, help a poor boy who’s hanging in a nowhere tree.

                                         A

Have you got a place for me ?

 

     Am                                              - F

1. Men are tied in chains of silence,       I look on violence,

                     G                                      D

    up, down, left and right, is there no hope of light ?

             Am                                                      - F

    The peaceful hand that once caressed me,        hurts like the rest,

                         G                                        D

    because it’s turned to stone, talons of steel have grown.

 

+  CHORUS      +  Yeah !        +  Am - F - G - D       +  Oh !

 

+  Am - F - G - D    +  Yeah !        +  CHORUS

 

     Am                                              - F

2. See the moon it’s getting nearer,        but no more clearer

                   G                                      D

    than the earth below, what do we really know ?

   Am                                               - F

    I feel the stab od pain returning,       despair is burning

                G                                          D

    in my heart again. Why don’t they see the end ? Oh !

 

+  CHORUS (2x)
