Chords: Varations of F#m - Bm - E - F#m and F#m - Bm - E over and over throughout entire song.

Lyrics:

(Intro)

F#m                Bm
I hear him when he weeps and moans
E                  F#m
I've even seen him shed tears
F#m                    Bm
For after taking those wedding vows
E                     F#m
That didn't last many years
F#m                    Bm
I've seen him walk the streets alone
       E             F#m
In the wind and rain cold and weak
F#m               Bm
Help the poor man save his heart
     E            Bm
Take him in, make him neat


F#m             Bm   E
And grant him a pardon
F#m             Bm   E  F#m
Grant him a pardon from love


(Same as Verse #1)
The people talk when he passes by
And they don't seem to care
The pain he hides down in his soul
That they don't want to share
If he could turn this world around
He could be like you and me
Help him break these chains of love
Help the man go free

And grant him a pardon
Grant him a pardon
Grant him a pardon from love

(Really cool guitar solo)

And grant him a pardon
Grant him a pardon from love

He's guilty of nothing that I can think of, oh no
So let's not convict him
He just happens to be a prisoner of love

So if you're out on that lonely street
And by chance pass him by
Don't rush to judgement or put him down
Cause you could be that guy
Someone could take your heart to school one day          *** cool line!
And that would surely change your plans
And all the things you think you know
Now you understand

And grant him a pardon
Grant him a pardon
Grant him a pardon from love

All you got to do is
Grant him a pardon
Grant him a pardon
Grant him a pardon from love

Grant him a pardon, baby
Grant him a pardon from love

(F#m riff, longer than before and with hammerons and pulloffs, - Bm - E until end)

Just grant him a pardon
From love

Won't ya

(nice lead into awesome guitar outro!!!)

*** for some reason this part of the song reminds me of "I Can't Quit"
