FARTHER ON Jackson Browne
(Album: Late for the sky)
Intro:
|Dsus4/A D/A |A |Bm G |D |
|Bm E |A |G A |D |
Dsus4/A D/A A A
In my early years I hid my tears
And Bmpassed my Gdays aloDne
BmAdrift on an oEcean of lAoneliness
My dGreams like Anets were Dthrown
Dsus4/A D/A A A
To catch the love that I'd heard of
In Bmbooks and Gfilms and Dsongs
Now there's a Bmworld of illEusion and fanAtasy
In the Gplace where the Areal world Dbelongs
Still I Glook for the Abeauty in Dsongs
To fill my F#mhead and lead me Aon
Though my Gdreams have Acome up torn and Dempty
As many Atimes as love has come and Ggone
Dsus4/A D/A A A
To those gentle ones my memory runs
To the Bmlaughter we Gshared at the Dmeals
BmI filled their Ekitchens and Aliving rooms
With myG schemes and myA broken whDeels
Dsus4/A D/A A A
It was never clear how far or near
The Bmgates to my cGitadel lay D
They were Bmcutting from Estone some Adreams of their own
But they Glistened to mineA anyway D
I'm not Gsure what I'm Atrying to say D
It could F#mbe I've lost my Away
Though I Gkeep a Awatch over the Ddistance
Heaven's no Acloser than it was yesterGday
And the Dangels are Aolder F#
They Bmknow not to wait Bm/Aup for the sun G
They look over my Dshoulder A/C#
At the Bmmaps and the Bm/Adrawings of the E/G#journey I've begAun
Solo:
|Dsus4/A D/A |A |Bm G |D A/C# |
|Bm E |A |G A |D |
|Dsus4/A D/A |A |Bm G |D A/C# |
|Bm E |A |G A |D |
Now the Gdistance lAeads me farther Don
Though the F#mreasons I once had are Agone
I keep Gthinking I'll Afind what I'm Dlooking for
In the Asand beneath the Gdawn
But the Dangels are Aolder F#
They Bmcan see that the Bm/Asun's setting fGast
They look over my Dshoulder A/C#
At the Bmvision of parBm/Aadise contE/G#ained in the light of the Apast
And theyD lay down bAehind me F#
To sleep beside the Bmroad till the Bm/Amorning has comGe
Where they know they will Dfind me A/C#
With my Bmmaps and my Bm/Afaith in the distancGe
Moving Afarther Don G A
