The Keeper Chords by Chris Cornell

[Start]

[Verse]
D A D             A       
■ ■ ■ I come from far away
   A                           
My boots don't know this ground
D                  A   
But they know it's real
D    A                    
■ It doesn't take too long
                 D     
For this road to become
  A          
A battlefield


[Chorus]
D     A            F#m7     E       Esus4
■ And before I let one more fire go out  
                        F#m7 E           D     
Understand that I won't give one inch of ground
     A       D            A   
From beneath yours and my feet
D            A     D          A 
Whatever the price happens to be
D                A         E   Esus4 E7
I may not be the keeper of the flame ■ 
             D      A D A
But I am the keeper ■ ■ ■


[Verse]
D          A            
Beauty and truth collide
                 D       
Where love meets genocide
               A         
Where laughter meets fear
D         A         
Confusion all around
         A                       
And as I try to feed these mouths
D               A            
That have never known singing


[Chorus]
                 F#m7     E            D     
And before I let one more tear hit the ground
       C#m7       F#m7     E               D        
I will be the one standing between you and the sound
       A      D       A D  
Of the rounds echoing ■ out
           A   
Out of the dark
    D             A     D
The smoke and the spark ■
         A                Esus4
Aimed at the heart of the flame
D                 B D 
■ I am the keeper ■ oh
         A            
I cannot see the light
                         D      
At the end of the tunnel tonight
A           D    
My eyes are weary
    A            F#m7     E        D     
And before I let one more life get erased
         C#m7    F#m7      E               D     
From the ashes I will rise for you and the ghosts
                           A     
Of the names the faces and frames
D                A        D     A     
The love and the pain for you I remain
           D          A  D    
Though I'm not worthy of being
    A             Esus4 D
The keeper of the flame ■
                A    D
I am the keeper yeah ■
         A              
I am the keeper uh uh uh
      D    
Uh uh uh uh


[Outro]
