But you know you'll have to be kind, ifyou're ever gonna find,

The place that your face could have been shown.

Especially when you don't dare, to force anyone there,

To share in the ice being blown.

And there's a lovenest....

And you heard me say 'yes', but you know its a guess,

As somebody else shouted 'no'.

And you know freedom is free, of all the forces that be,

And the ice that you too thought you should throw.

And there's a lovenest....

I thought you had passed, but you caught me at last,

where you know I could nvere be worn.

And now that you're here, and you finally hear,

It's so clear on the wings of the dawn.

And you know freedom is free, of all the forces that be,

And the ice that you too thought should be thrown.

And there's a lovenest....

Dsus4+2

A

(oops - I forgot G - but I'm sure you can survive without my little

pictures for that one (don't forget the bottom E dropped to D!).

Note for the end of the chorus and every other verse line:

The walk down at the end should be played stressing the bass notes on

the A string (ie pluck them on the beat), and then there is a little

pull off using the first finger to play the open A (either from the B

(in the verses) or the Bb (in the chorus)) followed by plucking the

bottom D normally and then strum. Best to listen to the record to see

what I mean (if I'm making sense of course)!

In this case (4) denotes an optional note. The only other difference in the way

that I play it, is the walk down the bass strings at the end of the chorus used D sus2

(which is the same shape as Gordon has his Dsus4+2) and then I start the walk from the

E (4th string 2nd fret) rather than the C that Gordon has.

Right thats its.
