Chords for Nanci Griffith & Richard Thompson - Wall of Death [7-26-97]

Well, we'd like to bring up a very, very special guest.
We just finished recording a second volume to Other Voices, Other Rooms.
It won't be out until June of 1998, but it's called Other Voices 2, T-O-O, A Trip Back to Bountiful.
Please welcome to the stage a man who is in himself his own category and genre of music, _ Mr.
Richard Thompson.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ [A] is a song that Richard wrote, and it will be on the new Other Voices record as well.
And it's always been one of my favorite phrases called, Wall of Death. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
Let me ride on _ [D] _
the wall one more [A] _ time. _ _
_ Let me [F#m] ride on the wall _ _ one [E] more time. _ _
_ _ [D] We can waste the time on the other rides.
[E] He says the nearest to the other half.
[A] Oh, let me [F#m] take [D] my chances on the wall [A] again. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ You [A] can go with the [D] crazy people in the [A] crocked house. _
_ _ [F#m] You can fly away [D] on a rocket or [E] skydive. _ _ _
_ _ [D] The time I might amuse you.
[E] The walls I might confuse you.
[A] Let [F#m] me take [D] my chances [E] on the [A] wall again. _ _ _
_ _ [F#m] On the wall, [C#m] _ [F#] on the wall, [C#m] it's far [Bm] from me. _ _ _
_ _ [F#m] On the wall [C#m] of death, [F#m] the nearest [C#] to being [D] free.
_ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ I [A] hear a calling, oh, well, [D] in your eyes [A] or so.
_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] I may be a strong, [D] but what's the good of ringing [E] a bell?
_ _ _ _ [D] Some spark will make you crazy.
_ _ _ [E]
Swear of a villain ready.
_ [A] Oh, let me [F#m] take my [D] chances [E] on the wall [A] again.

[E] on the wall [A] again.
