Intro:
Em    G    D    A
Em    G    D    A

Verse 1:
Em                 G
Keep your powder dry and warm
D                   A
Thru the coming darkest storm
Em                  G
All the fears that's sent your way
D                          A
thru your eyes you might wash away - when you can
Em                  G
Still your lantern's strong and bright
D                   A
Even thru the darkest night

Chorus:
C               G
All those paper tigers
D                 A
All the lies they might have sold you
C                G
might be wasted on -
D (muted)
one so young that you're old again
A (muted)
she walks out thru the wind and the rain - uh-huh

Em    G    D     A

Verse 2:
They can't give you all those things
no pot of gold no big brass ring
stay on the road for the night has come
perhaps at dawn we will be like one again

Chorus:
All those paper tigers
and the lies they might have sold you
might be wasted on -
one so young but you're old again
Sylvia walks out thru the wind and the rain - uh-huh

Bridge:
G             D             A            Em
Still that shock rips you thru every nerve
G             D             A (muted)    C (muted)
and the bell jar nothing can be heard      -      oh yeah!

Em   G   D   A
Em   G   D   A

           Em
I would walk with you
           G
I would talk with you
         D                       A
I would do anything that would get you thru
          Em
Draw the line for you
          G
Take the fifth for you
          D                        A
I would stand on a bridge and jump off it too

Chorus:
All those paper tigers
all the lies they might have told you
might be wasted on -
one so young that you're old again

all those paper tigers
all the lies your mother told you
might be wasted on -
one so young that you're old again
She walks out thru the wind and the rain
