Tears Of The Dragon Chords & Tabs

by Bruce Dickinson

[Intro]
Am   C   x2

[Verse]
Am              C                              
For too long now, there were secrets in my mind
Am              C                                     
For too long now, there were things I should have said
Am             C                             
In the darkness, I was stumbling for the door
Am              C                                  Am  
To find a reason, to find the time, the place, the hour
                Em                 G             D  
Waiting for the winter sun and the cold light of day
Am                 Em             
The misty ghost of childhood fears
    G                          D               
The pressure is building and I can't stay away.

[Chorus]
  Em      C      G      D  
I throw myself into the sea
   Em       C   
Release the wave
       G         D 
Let it wash over me
   Em       C      G      D     
To face the fear I once believed
    Em           C          G           D 
The tears of the dragon for you and for me

[Verse]
Am         C                              
Where I was, I had wings that couldn't fly
Am         C                           
Where I was, I had tears I couldn't cry
Am         C                  Am  
My emotions, frozen in an icy lake
                    C                       Am   
I couldn't feel them until the ice began to break
                Em             G          D   
I have no power over this, you know I'm afraid
Am                    Em             G               
The walls I built are crumbling, the water is moving,
    D             
I'm slipping away.

[Chorus]
  Em      C      G      D  
I throw myself into the sea
   Em       C   
Release the wave
       G         D 
Let it wash over me
   Em       C      G      D     
To face the fear I once believed
    Em           C          G           D 
The tears of the dragon for you and for me

[Verse]
Am        Em       G        D   
Slowly I awake,    slowly I rise
Am                    Em        
The walls I built are crumbling,
    G               
The water is moving,
    D             
I'm slipping away.

[Chorus]
  Em      C      G      D  
I throw myself into the sea
   Em       C   
Release the wave
       G         D 
Let it wash over me
   Em       C      G      D     
To face the fear I once believed
    Em           C          G           D 
The tears of the dragon for you and for me
  Em      C      G      D  
I throw myself into the sea
   Em       C   
Release the wave
       G         D 
Let it wash over me
   Em       C      G      D     
To face the fear I once believed
    Em           C          G           D 
The tears of the dragon for you and for me
