Farther On Jackson Browne
In my [Gsus4/D]early [G/D]years I [Dsus4]hid my [D]tears
And [Em]passed my [C]days alo[G]ne
[Em]Adrift on an o[A]cean of[Dsus4] l[D]oneliness
My d[C]reams like [Dsus4] [D]nets were [G]thrown
To [Gsus4/D]catch the [G/D]love that [Dsus4]I'd heard [D]of
In [Em]books and [C]films and [G]songs
Now there's a [Em]world of ill[A]usion and [Dsus4]fan[D]tasy
In the [C]place where the [Dsus4] real [D]world [G]belongs
Still I [C]look for the [D]beauty in [G]songs
To fill my [Bm]head and lead me [D]on
Though my [C]dreams have [D]come up torn and [G]empty
As many [D]times as love has come and [C]gone
To those [Gsus4/D]gentle [G/D]ones my [Dsus4]memory [D]runs
To the [Em]laughter we [C]shared at the [G]meals
[Em]I filled their [A]kitchens and [Dsus4] living [D]rooms
With my[C] schemes and my [Dsus4] [D] broken wh[G]eels
It was [Gsus4/D]never [G/D]clear how [Dsus4]far or [D]near
The [Em]gates to my c[C]itadel lay [G]
They were [Em]cutting from [A]stone some [Dsus4] dreams of their [D]own
But they [C]listened to [Dsus4] mine [D] anyway [G]
I'm not [C]sure what I'm [D]trying to say [G]
It could [Bm]be I've lost my [D]way
Though I [C]keep a [D]watch over the [G]distance
Heaven's no [D]closer than it was yester[C]day
And the [G]angels are [D]older [B]
They [Em]know not to wait [Em/D]up for the sun [C]
They look over my [G]shoulder [D/F#]
At the [Em]maps and the [Em/D]drawings of the [A/Db]journey I've beg[D]un
Solo:
|Dsus4/A D/A | [Dsus4] | A |Bm G |D A/C# |
|Bm E | [Dsus4] |A |G [Dsus4] |A |D |
|Dsus4/A D/A | [Dsus4] |A |Bm G |D A/C# |
|Bm E | [Dsus4] |A |G [Dsus4] |A |D |
Now the [C]distance l[D]eads me farther [G]on
Though the [Bm]reasons I once had are [D]gone
I keep [C]thinking I'll [D]find what I'm [G]looking for
In the [D]sand beneath the [C]dawn
But the [G]angels are [D]older [B]
They [Em]can see that the [Em/D]sun's setting f[C]ast
They look over my [G]shoulder [D/F#]
At the [Em]vision of par[Em/D]adise cont[A/Db]ained in the light of the [D]past
And they[G] lay down b[D]ehind me [B]
To sleep beside the [Em]road till the [Em/D]morning has com[C]e
Where they know they will [G]find me [D/F#]
With my [Em]maps and my [Em/D]faith in the distanc[C]e
Moving [D]farther [G]on [C] [D]
|D A/C# |Bm Bm/A |G A |D ||
