For a Dancer Jackson Browne
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 [F]in your eye
[C] Pay attention to the [F]open sky
[C] You never know what [F]will be coming down[C] [G]
[C] I don't remember losing [F]track of you
[C] You were always dancing in and [F]out of view
[C] I must've thought you'd [F]always be around[C] [G]
[Am] Always keeping things [F]real by playing the clown[C]
Now you're [G]nowhere to be found
[C] [F] [C] [G]
[C] I don't know what happens when [F]people die
[C] Can't seem to grasp it as hard [F]as I try
[(F)] It's like a [C]song I can hear playing [F]right in my ear
That I can't [C]sing - I can't help [G]listening
[C] And I can't help feeling stupid [F]standing 'round
[C] Crying as they [F]ease you down
[C] 'Cause I know that you'd [F]rather we were dancing[C]
[G] Dancing our sorrow away[Am]
[F] Right on dancing
[C] No matter what fat[G]e chooses to play
There's nothing you can do about it [C]anyway
Just [F]do the steps that [C]you've been shown
By [F]everyone you've [C]ever known[G]
[Am] Until the dance become[C7]s your very own
[F] No matter how [G]close to yours
[Am] Another's steps have grown[F]
In the [C]end there is one [G]dance 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 [F]uncertainty turn you [C]around
The world keeps turning around and around
Go [G]on and make a joyful sound[C]
In[F]to a dancer [C]you have grown
From a [F]seed somebody [C]else has thrown[G]
[Am] Go on ahead and throw[C7] some seeds of your own[F]
[F] And somewhere between[G] the time you arrive [Am]
And the time you go[F]
May lie the [C]reason you were alive[G]
But you'll never know
[C] [F] [C] [G] [C] [G] [C]
