i. The Turn Of A Friendly Card I
Key: chDm/ch

chDm/ch   chFaug/ch   | chBb/ch   chAm/ch   | chGm/ch   chAm/ch   | chDm/ch chA/ch chDm/ch   |
chDm/ch   chFaug/ch   | chBb/ch   chAm/ch   | chGm/ch   chAm/ch   | chDm/ch chA/ch chDm/ch   |

          chDm/ch        chAm/ch         chBb/ch              chDm/ch
There are unsmiling faces and bright plastic chains

      chDm/ch           chA/ch      chDm/ch
And a wheel in perpetual motion

         chDm/ch         chAm/ch         chBb/ch          chDm/ch
And they follow the races and pay out the gains

         chDm/ch        chA/ch          chDm/ch
With no show of an outward emotion


          chA/ch                              chDm/ch
And they think it will make their lives easier

        chA/ch                            chGm/ch
For God knows up till now it's been hard

         chDm/ch         chAm/ch             chEb/ch              chGm/ch
But the game never ends when your whole world depends

        chDm/ch        chAm/ch        chDm/ch
On the turn of a friendly card

       chDm/ch         chAm/ch                chEb/ch           chGm/ch
No the game never ends when your whole world depends

       chDm/ch           chAm/ch      chDm/ch
On the turn of a friendly card


          chDm/ch           chAm/ch          chBb/ch           chDm/ch
There's a sign in the desert that lies to the west

           chDm/ch            chA/ch                 chDm/ch
Where you can't tell the night from the sunrise

        chDm/ch             chAm/ch          chBb/ch              chDm/ch
And not all the king's horses and all the king's men

         chDm/ch        chA/ch           chDm/ch
Have prevented the fall of the unwise


        chA/ch                              chDm/ch
And they think it will make their lives easier

        chA/ch                            chGm/ch
For God knows up till now it's been hard

         chDm/ch         chAm/ch             chEb/ch              chGm/ch
But the game never ends when your whole world depends

        chDm/ch        chAm/ch        chDm/ch
On the turn of a friendly card

       chDm/ch         chAm/ch                chEb/ch           chGm/ch
No the game never ends when your whole world depends

       chDm/ch           chAm/ch      chDm/ch
On the turn of a friendly card

       chDm/ch           chAm/ch        chBb/ch          chDm/ch
But a pilgrim must follow in search of a shrine

       chDm/ch     chA/ch           chDm/ch
As he enters inside the cathedral...

Nothing ventured, nothing gained

No more lingering doubt remained

Nothing sacred or profane

Everything to gain, cause you've nothing more

Version 2:
In this version I left out everything I was unsure about and I spent another hour on

In this version I changed a few notes in the first part of the last solo.
