GETTING THERE

(written by Terri Clark and Gary Burr)

[D]Well the sun sets in the wes[E]t

[G]but as fast as you go [A]how would you know

[D]You're a busy boy I g[E]uess

[G]Who just wants the gold at[A] the end of the road

M open Em

Think of all you miss

[G]Passing through like this

[C]You want an ans[M2]wer as soon[C1] as you s[C2]ay a prayer

[C]You wanna land[M2] the moment[C1] you're in[C2] the air

[C]Baby the livin[M2]' is all[C1] in the[C2] gettin' there

[D]don't be first in every line[E]

[G]Now and then you can[A] be at the end

[D]'cause there's only so much tim[E]e

[G]and you can't get back ever[A]y minute you spend

M open E

You're not even sure

[G]of what you're runnin' for

(chorus)

(instrumental) D, M, E, G, D, M, C, G

M open E

Think of all you miss

[G]Passing through like this

(chorus)

(play verse chords all the way out)

The livin' is all in the gettin' there

Gettin' there

 
 -----------------------------------

The final chorus is picked for half and then C is pulsed by

pressing and unpressing the fingering.

Any questions? Was I really confusing?

 #"Getting There"
 #written by Terri Clark and
 #Performed by Terri Clark

 #I figured this out from an acoustic set Terri Clark did on
 #GAC spotlite (I believe that's the name of the show). She
 #played it capoed on the 4th fret. But if you want to play
 #just like the CD version of it, it should be capoed on the
 #3rd fret.
 #
 #I'm not sure on the names of some of the chords so I've
 #written the fingerings as well. I'm not an expert on the
 #names of chords, or technical guitar terms, so bear with
 #me. :)

 #
 # The thing about these chords is they have a sort of
 #bluesish riff in them where you add a base note after a
 #couple of strums and then release it. The strum pattern
 #for the verses is: down, down, +down, down - down, down,
 #+down. "+down" is where you add the extra base note. For
 #example, with D you would add on 4th string 4th fret for
 #the "+down" strums. So when I type out the EADGBE chord
 #form I'll put the "+down" chord form in parenthesis right
 #along side the original form.
 # There are a couple chords I gave my own lettering of "M"
 #and "M2", that means "Mystery Chord" and "Mystery Chord 2".
