[EURYDICE]
E D
Promises you made to me
E D
You said the rivers and the trees
Bm D
Would fill our pockets and our plates
Bm D
Promises you made
E D
You said the birds would blanket us
E D
You said the world was generous
Bm D
And wouldn’t turn its back on us

[Interlude]
Bm D
Bm
The river froze
A
The trees were bare
Bm A
And all the birds they disappeared
Bm C
So me too I flew away
C D
From promises you made

[ORPHEUS]
E D
Promises you made to me
E D
You said that you would stay with me
Bm D
Whatever weather came our way
Bm D
Promises you made
Bm A
That we would walk, side by side
Bm A
Through all the seasons of our lives
Bm C
'Neath any sky, down any road
C D
Any way the wind blows

[Interlude]
D A D A Bm G C D
D A
I have no ring for your finger
D A
I have no banquet table laid
Bm G
I have no bed of feathers
Bm A
Whatever promises I’ve made
D A
Can’t promise you fair sky above
