LIVE TO TELL MADONNA
KEY F
VERSE 1
4 4 4 4 4 4
I have a tale to tell
4 4 4 4 4 -4 4 4 4 4
Some-times it gets so hard to hide it well
4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
I was not read-y for the fall
4 4 4 4 4 -4 4 4 4 4
Too blind to see the writ-ing on the wall
CHORUS
5 -4 5 -5b 6 5 -4 4
A man can tell a thou-sand lies
5 -4 5 -5b 6 6
I’ve learned my les-son well
6 -5b 6 -6 7
Hope I live to tell
6 6 -5b -6 -5b 5 6 6
The se-cret I have learned, till then
-6b -6 7 -6 -5b 5 -6b
It will burn in-side of me
VERSE 2
I know where beauty lives
Ive seen it once, I know the warm she gives
The light that you could never see
It shines inside, you can't take that from me
REPEAT CHORUS 1
CHORUS 2
5 -4 5 -5b 6 5 -4 4
The truth is nev-er far be-hind
5 -4 5 -5b 6 6
You kept it hid-den well
6 -5b 6 -6 7
If I live to tell
6 6 -5b 6 -5b 5
The se-cret I knew then
6 6 -6b -6 7 -7 -7 7 -7
Will I ev-er have the chance a-gain
BRIDGE
4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
If I ran a-way, I'd nev-er have the strength
4 4 4 4 4
To go ve-ry far
4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
How would they hear the beat-ing of my heart
4 4 4 4
Will it grow cold
4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
The se-cret that I hide, will I grow old
4 4 4 4
How will they hear
4 4 4 4
When will they learn
4 4 4 4
How will they know
REPEAT CHORUS 1
REPEAT CHORUS 2
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
