For A Dancer - JACKSON BROWNE
From the 1974 album: Late For The Sky
Sumbitted by D. Weil
The song is mainly played on a piano, but heres the guitar chords anyway. Pretty straight
foreward, no tricky stuff and all basic open position chords. Just watch for the Am to
C7 switch. Enjoy!

C Keep a fire burning Fin your eye
C Pay attention to the Fopen sky
C You never know what Fwill be coming down C G
C I don't remember losing Ftrack of you
C You were always dancing in and Fout of view
C I must've thought you'd Falways be around C G
Am Always keeping things Freal by playing the clown C
Now you're Gnowhere to be found
C F C G
C I don't know what happens when Fpeople die
C Can't seem to grasp it as hard Fas I try
(F) C F
It's like a song I can hear playing right in my ear
That I can't Csing - I can't help Glistening
C And I can't help feeling stupid Fstanding 'round
C Crying as they Fease you down
C 'Cause I know that you'd Frather we were dancing C
G Dancing our sorrow away Am
F Right on dancing
C No matter what fatGe chooses to play
There's nothing you can do about it Canyway
Just Fdo the steps that Cyou've been shown
By Feveryone you've Cever known G
Am Until the dance becomeC7s your very own
F No matter how Gclose to yours
Am Another's steps have grown F
In the Cend there is one Gdance you'll do alone
C F C G
Keep a fire for the human race
Let your prayers go drifting into space
You never know what will be coming down
Perhaps a better world is drawing near
And just as easily it could all disappear
Along with whatever meaning you might have found
Am Don't let the Funcertainty turn you Caround
The world keeps turning around and around
Go Gon and make a joyful sound C
InFto a dancer Cyou have grown
From a Fseed somebody Celse has thrown G
Am Go on ahead and throwC7 some seeds of your own F
F And somewhere betweenG the time you arrive Am
And the time you go F
May lie the Creason you were alive G
But you'll never know
C F C G C G C
