Risk Chords & Lyrics - Judy Collins

CAPO: 1st Fret

[INTRO]
[Am] [Dm] [Am] [Dm]

[VERSE 1]
[Am]Time slips by in the hourglass
You can [Dm]hear your name
[Am]Sand slides through the stranger's hand
As he deals the [F]game

[VERSE 2]
All the [G]candles are burning [F]low
No more [G]cradles and no more [F]snow
Bet your [G]life on a [C]lucky [Dm]roll
Play your [G]queen, you could [C]win your [Dm]soul
Stakes are [G]high you could [C]live or [F]die
To risk every[G]thing [Am] [Dm]

[VERSE 3]
[Am]In your goblet the wine is black
As a [Dm]moonless night
[Am]Wet your lips before you kiss
The blazing [F]light

[VERSE 4]
Bets are [G]off but the game is [Am]on
[F]Drop the [G]armour you counted [Am]on
[F]All your [G]armies are [Am]fled and [Dm]gone
[F]Win your [G]king, you can play your [Am]pawn
[F]Take your [G]time, you [Am]have just be[Dm]gun
To risk every[G]thing

[CHORUS]
[C]Catch your tears in a [F]golden sieve
[C]Don't regret what you [F]did to live
[C]Don't forget that you [F]must for[Am]give
To risk every[G]thing [Am] [Dm]

[VERSE 5]
[Am]Through the window you see the storm
That is [Dm]gathering
[Am]Painted gypsies on dappled horses
Are gallop[F]ing

[VERSE 6]
Through the [G]trees in the [Am]howling wind
[F]Down the [G]hills to the [Am]river bend
[F]Shadow [G]ghosts that are [Am]blind as [Dm]night
[F]Shrieking [G]curses against the [Am]night
[F]Daring [G]you to come [Am]join their [Dm]flight
And risk ever[G]ything

[CHORUS]
[C]Catch your tears in a [F]golden sieve
[C]Don't regret what you [F]did to live
[C]Don't forget that you [F]must for[Am]give
To risk every[G]thing [Am] [Dm]

[VERSE 7]
[Am]There is nothing to hold you now
To your[Dm] fault or mine
[Am]Fallen idols and martyred souls
Are the only [F]kind

[VERSE 8]
Feet of [G]clay in the [Am]emerald skies
[F]Birds of [G]prey when the [Am]dreamer dies
[F]Perfect [G]crosses per[Am]fect your [Dm]lies
[F]Burning [G]saints in the [Am]flaming skies
[F]Bet your [G]life every [Am]promise dies
[F]All that's [G]left for [Am]you to [Dm]try
Is risking every[G]thing

[CHORUS]
