Mission - Butterfly On A Wheel guitar tab

Butterfly on a wheel by The Mission

from the album Carved in sand

D Bm

Silver and gold, and it's growing cold

G F#m

Autumn leaves lay as thick as thieves

D Bm

Shivers down your spine, chill you to the bone,

G F#m

cause the mandling wind is the melody that turns your heart to stone

D Bm

The heat of your breath carvin shadows in the mist

G F#m

Every angel has the wish, she's never been kissed

D Bm

A broken dream, haunting in your sleep

G F#m

Hiding in your smile, a secret you must keep love cuts you deep.

Bm A

Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel

Bm A

Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel

D Bm

There's no scarlet in you, lay a fair down for me

G F#m

Sure has got me twined, you can't wrap you arms around a memory

D Bm

Take warmth from me, cold autumn winds cut sharp as a knife

G F#m

but in the dark for me you're the candle flame that flikkers to light

Bm A

Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel

Bm A

Love will break the wings of a butterfly on a wheel

Bm A

Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel

Bm A

Love will break the wings of a butterfly on a wheel

D Bm

Wise men say all is fair in love and war

G

And there's no right or wrong in the design of love

F#m

And I could only watch as the wind crushed your wings

D Bm

Broken and torn, crushed like a flower under the snow

G F#m

and like the flower in the spring, love will rise again to heal your wings

Bm A

Love heals the wings of a butterfly on a wheel

Bm A

Love will heal the wings of a butterfly on a wheel

Bm A

Love heals the wings of a butterfly on a wheel

Bm A

Love will heal the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
