Song For Adam Capo: 1.B
Intro: A F C F C G A A
Verse 1:
[A]Though Adam was a [C]friend of mine, I[F] did not know him well
He was al[C]one i[C/B]nto his d[A]istance[G], He was [F]deep into his well
I could g[C]uess w[C/B]hat he was lau[A]ghing a[G]t, But [F]I couldn't really tell
Now the st[A]ory's t[G]old that A[A]dam jum[G]ped, But I'm t[F]hinking that he f[A]ell
Verse 2:
[A]Together we went t[C]ravelling, as [F]we received the call
His de[C]stina[C/B]tion In[A]dia, an[G]d I h[F]ad none at all
Well I st[C]ill re[C/B]member lau[A]ghing, [G]with ou[F]r backs against the wall
So fr[A]ee of f[G]ear we nev[A]er thou[G]ght, t[F]hat one of us might f[A]all[G]
Chorus 1:
[F]I sit before my only ca[C]ndle, but it's [F]so little light to find my [C]way
Now this st[F]ory unfolds before my ca[A]ndle
Which is sh[C]orter every hour as it re[G]aches for the day
Well I f[A]eel just like a candle in a [G]way
I guess I'll get th[F]ere but I wouldn't s[C]ay__[G] fo[F]r su[C]re[F] [C] [G]
Verse 3:
When we[A] parted we were la[C]ughing still, [F]as our goodbyes were said
And I ne[C]ver h[C/B]eard from [A]him a[G]gain,[F] as each our lives we led
except for [C]once[C/B] in som[A]eone el[G]se's [F]letter that I read
Un[A]til I h[G]ead the su[A]dden wo[G]rd, th[F]at a friend of mine was d[A]ead[G]
Chorus 2:
[F]I sit before my only ca[C]ndle, like a pi[F]lgrim sits beside the w[C]ay
Now this jo[F]urney appears before my [A]candle
as a so[C]ng that's growing fainter, the [G]harder I play
well I f[A]ear before I am I'll fade aw[G]ay
But I guess I'll get t[F]here, though I wouldn't sa[C]y___[G] fo[F]r su[C]re[F] [C] [G]
Verse 4:
[A]Though Adam was a [C]friend of mine, [F]I did not know him long
And when I[C] sto[C/B]od mysel[A]f beside [G]him, I ne[F]ver thought I was as strong
still it s[C]eemed h[C/B]e stopped[A] his sin[G]ging in [F]the middle of his song
well I[A]'m not the o[G]ne to s[A]ay I kn[G]ow but[F] I'm hoping he was wr[A]ong[G]
Chorus 3:
[F]I'm holding out my only c[C]andle, though it's [F]so little light to find my [C]way
now this st[F]ory's been layed beneath my [A]candle
and it's sh[C]orter every hour as it re[G]aches for the day
yes I fe[A]el just like a candle in a w[G]ay
I hope I'll get the[F]re but I'll never pr[C]ay[G] [F] [C] [F] [C] [G]
