Chords for Bruce Cockburn - "Rumours Of Glory" (eTown webisode #721)

_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [G#] _
I very much enjoy the [D#] opportunity to collaborate [G#] with these folks and with
lots of other people too that I've had the pleasure of being able to [D#] work with
over the years but it's fun.
I mean it takes you out of your routine [G#] which
is a good thing and in my experience here [Cm] it's always worked out pretty well.
You know [G#] I mean everybody's a good [A#] musician, everybody knows how to do their
[D#] job and so you know there's always there's always that little pleasurable
[G#] sense of skating on the edge a bit doing that kind of collaboration but it's [E] fun. _ _

[A] Up above the dark town, _ _ [E] _ _
after [A] the sun has gone [E] down, _ two vapor [A] trails cross the sky
[E] _ _
catching the [A] day's last slow goodbye.
_ [F#m] Black sky [C#m] lineless, rich as velvet, [G#m] _
something is
shining [F#m] like gold.
A [B] scatter of the rumors _ [E] of glory, _ _ _ rumors of glory.
_ _ [B] _
Smiles [A] mixed with cursing, _ _ [E] _ _
the [A] crowd disperses, _ [E] _ _
about whom no [A] details are known.
[E] _ _
Each one [A] alone, yet not [A] _ [F#m] alone, behind the pain and [C#m] fear, that's on the faces,
[G#m] _
something is shining [F#m] like gold.

You see [A] the extremes _ _ [E] _
of what [A] humans can be, _ [E] _
in that [A] distance some tensions [F#] born,
[E] _ _
energy [A] surging like a [F#m] storm.
You plunge your hand [C#m] in, and brought it back,
scores [G#m] beneath it's shining [F#m] like gold.
[F#] That scatter [E] of the rumors [A] of glory, _ _ [E] _ _
rumors [F#] of glory.
[A] _ _ [E] _ _
_ [A] Rumors of glory, _ _ [E] rumors _ [A] of glory.
_ [E] _ _ _
[F#] Rumors of glory, [C#] _ _ [E] _ _
rumors [A] of [E] glory. _ _ _
[F#] Rumors of glory, _ _ [E] _ _
rumors [A] of glory. _ _ _ _

Thanks very much.
