Kyrie
Mr. Mister

Tabbed by: hurryfashion
Standard tuning
INTRO: Keyboard arpeggio (see tab below)
G
The wind blows hard against this mountainside,
G
Across the sea, into my soul.
F
It reaches into where I cannot hide,
G
Setting my feet upon the road.
G
My heart is old, it holds my memories,
G
My body burns a gem-like flame.
F
Somewhere between the soul and soft machine,
G
Is where I find myself again.
CHORUS
C Dm Em F G
Kyrie Eleison, down the road that I must travel.
C Dm F Am G
Kyrie Eleison, through the darkness of the night.
C Dm Em F G
Kyrie Eleison, where I'm going will you follow?
C Dm Em F G
Kyrie Eleison, on a highway in the light.
G
When I was young I thought of growing old,
G
Of what my life would mean to me.
F
Would I have followed down my chosen road?
G
Or only wished what I could be?
