Song for Adam Jackson Browne
[Intro]
[Am] [F] [Am] [F]
[Am]Though Adam was a [G]friend of mine, I d[F]id not know him well
He was a[C]lone [G]in his exi[Am]stence[G]
He was d[F]eep into his well
I could [C]guess what [G]he was l[Am]aughing at,[G]
But I c[F]ouldn't really tell
Now the s[C]tory's t[G]old that [Am]Adam jumped[G],
But I've been th[F]inking that he [Am]fell[G]
[Verse 2]
[Am]Together we went t[G]raveling, as [F]we received the call
His [C]destin[G]ation [Am]India,[G]
And [F]I had none at all
Well, I s[C]till r[G]emember l[Am]aughing[G] with our[F] backs against the wall
So f[C]ree of [G]fear, we n[Am]ever though[G]t that [F]one of us might f[Am]all[G]
[Cborus 1]
[F]I sit before my only [C]candle,
But it's[F] so little light to find my [C]way
Now this s[F]tory unfolds before my c[Am]andle
Which is s[C]horter every hour as it r[G]eaches for the day
But I [Am]feel just like a candle in the [G]way
I guess I'll get t[F]here, but I wouldn't [C]say[G] for [F]sure[C] [F] [C]
[Verse 3]
When we [Am]parted we were [G]laughing still, as o[F]ur goodbyes were said
And I n[C]ever h[G]eard from h[Am]im again[G]
As [F]each our lives we led
Ex[C]cept for o[G]nce in so[Am]meone e[G]lse's [F]letter that I read
Unt[C]il I h[G]eard the s[Am]udden [G]word that a f[F]riend of mine was [Am]dead[G]
[Cborus 2]
[F]I sit before my only [C]candle,
[F]Like a pilgrim sits beside the w[C]ay
Now this j[F]ourney appears before my[Am] candle
Which is s[C]horter every hour as it r[G]eaches for the day
But I [Am]feel just like a candle in the [G]way
I guess I'll get t[F]here, but I wouldn't [C]say[G] for [F]sure[C] [F] [C]
[Verse 4]
Though A[Am]dam was a frien[G]d of mine, I did not[F] know him long
When I [C]stood [G]myself besi[Am]de him[G]
I never th[F]ought I was as strong
Still it se[C]ems he sto[G]pped his [Am]singing[G] in th[F]e middle of his song
Well, I'm [C]not the [G]one to s[Am]ay I k[G]now, but I'm [F]hoping he was wr[Am]ong[G]
[Cborus 3]
[F]Well, I'm holding out[C] my only candle
[F]Though it's so little light to find my w[C]ay
Now this s[F]tory's been laid beneath my c[Am]andle
And it's s[C]horter every hour as it r[G]eaches for the day
But I [Am]feel just like a candle in the [G]way
I guess I'll get t[F]here, but I never pra[C]y[G]
[Outro]
[F] [C] [F] [C]
