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
