(this lead up riff is played before all the verses, but not the first instrumental)

[Verse 1]
    G              G/F#  Em
You say you killed ten thousand men
  Am          Am/B C
Beneath the rising sun
    G           G/F#   Em
But why take on ten thousand when
     Am                C     G
your quarrel lies with one?

[Chorus]
C               G
Dry your cryin' eyes
 D                 Am
enough so they may see
Em             D/F#       G
Heartbreak has broken you down
       Am         G/B       C
In its wake maybe true love is found
D*               G
    true love is found

[Verse 2]
    G             G/F#  Em
You say you sailed the seven seas
Am                 Am/B  C
   and circled the world wide
G             G/F#      Em
  And just to meet your   bitter (?) need
          Am            Am/B  C    G
to turn inside the face of    god

[Chorus]
C               G
Dry your cryin' eyes
 D                 Am
enough so they may see
Em             D/F#       G
Heartbreak has broken you down
       Am         G/B       C
In its wake maybe true love is found
D*               G
    true love is found

[Verse 3]
    G             G/F# Em
The sun's come up and  sons go down
    Am    Am/B   C
And so many have passed
      G           Dm/F            Em
Oh my my, I guess now you'll stop time
        Am                 G/B        C
And, believe me, you're the first to try

Em             D/F#       G
Heartbreak has broken you down
       Am         G/B       C
In its wake maybe true love is found
D*               G
    true love is found
