Dead Mans Rope chords by Sting

Verse 1:
C                             F
A million footsteps, this left foot drags behind my right
             G                C
But I keep walking, from daybreak 'til the falling night

And as days turn into weeks and years

And years turn into lifetimes
      F    Am       G
I just keep walking, like I've been walking for a thousand years
C
Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow
F            G
Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow
C

If you're walking to escape, to escape from your affliction
     F              G          C
You'd be walking in a great circle, a circle of addiction

Did you ever wonder what you'd been carrying since the world was black?
      F                 G
You see yourself in a looking glass with a tombstone on your back


Chorus 1:
C
Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow
F            G
Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow (Walk Away...)
C
Walk away in anger, walk away in pain
F             G
Walk away from life itself, walk into the rain


Chorus 2:
Am F  G  Em F  Dm       G
All this wandering has led me to this place
      E      Am     F       Fm   Em
Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness
     F        G
I'm just hanging here in space


Verse 2:
C
Now I'm suspended between my darkest fears and dearest hope
F               G
Yes I've been walking, now I'm hanging from a dead man's rope
   C
With Hell below me, and Heaven in the sky above
     F             G
I've been walking, I've been walking away from Jesus' love


Chorus 1:
C
Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow
F            G
Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow (Walk Away...)
C
Walk away in anger, walk away in pain
F             G
Walk away from life itself, walk into the rain

Chorus 2:
Am F  G  Em F  Dm       G

Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness

The shadows fall

Around my bed

The hand of an angel is reaching down above my head

I'm walking in his footsteps
