Fountain of Sorrow

• C

Intro     C     G     Em      D      C       G    
 
Em                   D4   D        C              G     
Looking through some photographs I found inside a drawer 
      Em         D4   D        C    G   
I was taken by a photograph of you 
           Em           D4   D                   C                G   
There were one or two I know that you would have liked a little more 
         Em               D4   D            C    G    
But they didn?t show your spirit quite as true 
         Bm                            G           C  G   
You were turning ?round to see who was behind you 
      Bm                                D     D/C   
And I took your childish laughter by surprise 
Bm7        C/G            C      D           Em     
And at the moment that my camera happened to find you 
          Am7                   C        G     C  G    
There was just a trace of sorrow in your eyes 
 
        Em            D4     D         C              G      
Now the things that I remember seem so distant and so small 
          Em            D4     D         C     G    
Though it hasn?t really been that long a time 
     Em           D4     D          C           G    
What I was seeing wasn?t what was happening at all 
         Em               D4    D          C     G   
Although for a while, our path did seem to climb 
             Bm                                           G      C  G   
But when you see through love?s illusions, there lies the danger 
      Bm                                         D   D/C   
And your perfect lover just looks like a perfect fool 
Bm7        C/G            C          D        Em    
So you go running off in search of a perfect stranger 
          Am7                  C      
While the loneliness seems to spring from your life 
       G                 D            
Like a fountain from a pool 
 
C           G/D    D#°7         Em   D    
Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light 
C                 G/D         D#°7                   Em     D   
You?ve known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight 
C             G/D                 D#°7             Em     D   
You?ve had to hide sometimes, but now you?re all right 
         G                C/G                 C  G/B  Am7  
And it?s good to see your smiling face tonight 
 
G  Am7  G/B  C  G/B  Am7  G 
 
        Em            D4     D        C                 G      
Now for you and me it may not be that hard to reach our dreams 
         Em            D4     D       C      G  
But that magic feeling never seems to last 
              Em                 D4     D          C                   G   
And while the future?s there for anyone to change, still you know it?s seems 
            Em         D4     D            C        G  
It would be easier sometimes to change the past 
         Bm                                       G           C  G   
I?m just one or two years and a couple of changes behind you 
      Bm                                   D      D/C   
In my lessons at love?s pain and heartache school 
Bm7          C/G                   C        D            Em   
Where if you feel too free and you need something to remind you 
             Am7                   C                     
There?s this loneliness springing up from your life 
       G               D  
Like a fountain from a pool 
 
C           G/D    D#°7         Em   D    
Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light 
C                 G/D         D#°7                   Em     D   
You?ve known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight 
C             G/D                 D#°7             Em     D   
You?ve had to hide sometimes but now you?re all right 
         G                C/G                 C  G/B  Am7  
And it?s good to see your smiling face tonight  
 
G  Am7  G/B  D4  D 
 
 
C           G/D    D#°7         Em   D       
Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light 
C                 G/D         D#°7                  Em     D    
You?ve known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight 
C             G/D      D#°7           Em       D    
You?ve had to struggle, you?ve had to fight 
C            G/D         D#°7            Em     D    
To keep understanding and compassion in sight 
C            G/D            D#°7            Em    D     
You could be laughing at me, you?ve got the right 
C             G/D    D#°7             Em     D  
But you go on smiling so clear and so bright 
 
C  G/D  D#°7 Em D 
 
C  G/D  D#°7 Em D
