Em                 Cmaj7      Am         A7
I did a thing last night, you know those future games

Em                 Cmaj7   Am      A7
Turned off all the lights, oh, the future came

Em             Cmaj7      G6    Em7
You were by my side, will you explain?

G6  Fmaj7
Oh  yeah

B7                              Em7
Real rhyme and reason for those future games
[Verse]
Em                       Cmaj7      Am      A7
Now, you were there last night, and oh, were you afraid

Em                   Cmaj7      Am      A7
Of things we'd come upon, while playin' future games

Em               Cmaj7      G6      Em7
But baby, it's alright, and so have faith

G6  Fmaj7
Oh  yeah

[Bridge]
G6               Am7
How many people, sit home at night

G6                     Am7
Wondering if they will be here tonight?

G6                           Am7
Wondering what children will bring to the light

G6                      Am7
Inherit the world, or inherit the night

G6                         Am7
Wondering if neighbors are thinking the same

G6                       Am7
All of the wild things tomorrow will tame

G6                       Am7
Talking of journeys that happen in vain

G6                      Fmaj7
Well I know I'm not the only one

B7                                    Em7          E  D
To ever spend my life sitting-playing future games

You better take your time, you know there's no escape

Em                 Cmaj7    Am
The future sends a sign, of things we will create

Em           Cmaj7     G6       Emi7
Baby it's alright, and so have faith

G6  Fmaj7
Oh  yeah

B7                             Emi         E D
You invent the future that you want to face

I know I'm not the only one (Ad infinitum)
Written by the "Mystically" Talented Bob Welch from that wonderful interim FM Period between Blues and Buckingham. The INTRO's Opening Two Chords are played way down the neck Hammering-Off the High E String.
0-11-13-11-12-14 (Hammer 14 Down to 11

0-9-11-9-10-12 (Hammer 12 Down to 9)
Then it hits a Vamp Pedal Tone for 4 Bars with Em The "Oh Yeah" and "Well I know I'm not the only one" sections from G6 Fmaj7: After the Fmaj7 there is a Chromatic Chord Assention from G#7 to the B7. G#7 and B7 have the same Chord Fingering:
B7 is 7-X-7-8-7-X
Not sure how to notate that in here. Great Song! I've never found the Changes anywhere so I figured them out to share. Ethereal and Cosmic, like many of Bob Welch's Mystical Tunes. Lots of Room for Improv and Vamping. https://songmeanings.com/songs/view/13237/ Transcription by albabe
