Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

When you close your eyes there’s a frightened pride that lives for you

That your mothers life and your father’s eyes can’t hide.

You had no choice didn’t ask the dice to fall for you

Still your courage comes like thunder through the skies

(Chorus 1)

You’re always the winner, the victor and the giver

Somewhere through that winter, you will not grow old

(verse 2)

So you carry time down the tortured line where mysteries show

Well hidden from lifes learned and life’s wise

Man’s useless ways and worthless conversations

Lie well exposed and humbled in your smile

(Chorus 2)

You’re always the winner, the victor and the giver

Somewhere through that winter, you’ll never be alone

For evermore the winner, the taker and the giver

Somewhere through that winter, you will not grow old.

(Bridge)

Still you run out in the morning, with the boys and girls

A miracle of innocence on a head of curls

We’ll search every reason wherever we roam

To find a place for these broken hearts and bones

We’ll keep a fire on the hillside, after the summer’s gone

And we’ll wait her for the war-wounded to come home.

(Chorus 3)

You’re always the winner, the victor and the giver

Somewhere through that winter, you’ll never be alone

For evermore the winner, the taker and the giver

Somewhere through that winter, you will not grow old.
