[Em]That's why Broken Arrow
[G]Waved his finger down the road so dark and [C]narrow
[Em]In the evenin'

Verse 4

[Em]Way across the country where the hillside mountain glide
[C]The dynamo of your smile caressed the barefoot virgin child to [A]wander
[Em]Past your window with a lantern lit
[D]You held it in the doorway and you cast against the pointed island [Em]breeze
[C]Said your time was open, go well on your merry [Em]way
[A]Past the brazen footsteps of the silence [D]easy
[D]You breathe in you breathe out you breathe in you breathe out you breathe in
[Em]You breathe out you breathe in you breathe out
[Em]And you're high on your high-flyin' cloud
[B]Wrapped up in your magic shroud as ecstasy surrounds [Em]you
[C]This time it's found [Em]you
[D]You turn around you turn around you turn around you turn [Em]around
[B]And I'm beside [Em]you
[C]Beside you
