Secret Letters

intro   Em  C  Em  C  Am Bm

       Em                 C 
In the courtyard birds singing
            Em              C
Through the window bells ringing
      Am                      Em
Oh so tall and wide, these confining walls
  Am           Bm
I look upon the world below

Em  C  Em  C

       Em               C
Sorrow seals our lips tightly
       Em               C
Horror stalks our sleep nightly
       Am                      Em
But my heart escapes from this attic room
    Am            Bm
I'm running freely through the town

    Am         Em
I remember, remember you
    Am            Em
I remember, still close to you
C             Am               Bm 
  No need to fear the distance here

Em  C  Em  C

         Em             C
Peace is shattered by oppression
        Em           C
Tainted oil meets rejection
         Am                    Em   
Yes and just in case I should soon return
  Am             Bm
My secret letters I will leave

    Am         Em
I remember, remember you
    Am            Em
I remember, still close to you
C             Am               Bm 
  No need to fear the distance here

Em  C  Em  C  Em  C  Em  C

Am             Bm           Am          Bm
  Boarding the train I take in one last look
Am                Bm              Am  Bm
  I'll keep these memories with me forever

    Am         Em
I remember, remember you
    Am            Em
I remember, still close to you
C             Am               Bm 
  No need to fear the distance here

    Am         Em
I remember, remember you
    Am            Em
I remember, still close to you
C             Am               Bm 
  No need to fear the distance here
