Promises

E            D
Promises you made to me
E                  D
You said the rivers and the trees
Bm                             D
Would fill our pockets and our plates
Bm            D
Promises you made
E                        D
You said the birds would blanket us
E                      D
You said the world was generous
Bm                              D
And wouldn’t turn its back on us

Bm D
Bm
The river froze
A
The trees were bare
Bm                     A
And all the birds they disappeared
      Bm         C
So me too I flew away
C                 D
From promises you made

E            D
Promises you made to me
E                       D
You said that you would stay with me
Bm                           D
Whatever weather came our way
Bm               D
Promises you made
Bm                  A
That we would walk, side by side
Bm                      A
Through all the seasons of our lives
           Bm            C
'Neath any sky, down any road
C                D
Any way the wind blows

D A D A Bm G C D
D         A
I have no ring for your finger
D         A
I have no banquet table laid
Bm               G
I have no bed of feathers
Bm       A
Whatever promises I’ve made
D                 A
Can’t promise you fair sky above
D                 A
Can’t promise you kind road below
Bm                 C
But I’ll walk with you, my love
C                D
Any way the wind blows

D            A
I don’t need gold, don’t need silver
D                           A
Just bread when I’m hungry, fire when I’m cold
Bm               G
Don’t need a ring for my finger
Bm          A
Just need a steady hand to hold
D                A
Don’t promise me fair sky above
D                A
Don’t promise me kind road below
Bm             C
Just walk with me, my love
C                E
Any way the wind blows

E            G
I don’t know where this road will end
E                  G
But I’ll walk with you into the wind

D                   A
I can’t promise you fair sky above
D                 A
Can’t promise you kind road below
Bm                 C
But I’ll walk with you, my love
C                D
Any way the wind blows
