This is an improvement on my old posting with the correct chords
 and the guitar solo.  Enjoy...

HE'S THE KEEPER by PAUL WELLER
(Paul Weller)

The guitars and chords used are taken from Later With Jools Holland where Paul plays 
his Gibson SG with no capo and Steve Cradock plays an acoustic 12-string with capo at 2nd 
fret - whether you choose to play with or without a capo depends on your personal preference -
it doesn't make any difference.

Chords used:

Note: In the verses add a finger to the 5th fret of the B string when playing
      F#m7 and to the 3rd fret of the high E string when playing B7 - as usual - listen
      to the record to hear when.


         F#m7                   
He's the keeper              
       B7
Of the lantern
      F#m7     
Stone believer -                 E           Eaug

         B7

G        
Flying without a hand
Bm
Trying to brave the land
G
Something about the man -
E(type3)
Is about to make a stand!
G
With nothing but liars and thieves
Bm
Trying to purchase thee,
G
Where are you meant to go -
    E*         C#7
But fly away - high away.

He's the one knight
On a knackered stallion
His rusty armour -
So undervalued,
Does he know that
He's a reason,
He's asleep now
But never gone,
As he waits for love,
Yes he waits for love -

G A* G A*

         F#m7  
He's the keeper

Hanging without a cloud
Hoping to draw a cloud
If he's willing to take a chance -
Come on people make a stance!
From tiny acorns grow -
All kinds of seekers
And where are they meant to go -
But fly away - High away

In the maelstrom
Of indecision
Shine! Believer!
Find the season.
He helped to grow it -
He's the keeper
Hanging wishes -
Up upon our stars
As he waits for love
Yes we wait for love

He's the keeper
Of the lantern
He's the message
In the midnight -
Of your madness
In the backlog of conversations
We never had -
We wait for love
Yes we wait for love.
