Gordon Lightfoot – Shellfish (Guitar)

               C           G            Am
Even if you're sure before you begin to cry 

      C7             F            C             Em
Never rest until you find what is best to be forgot 

       F                Dm      G
Let it float off in the night beneath the moon 

   C                Em          C7              F
So brightly shining down on the steeples of the town

    G                            C
You must not be downhearted over things you left undone 

        Am        Em              Am
You got faith, to tell you all is well

        Em                  F     Am
And you know you'd best not stop

                        C   Am
There's still a ways to go 

               C            G            Am
Even if you're sure, before you begin to sigh 

       C7             F            C              Em
Let me show my way is best, on the wayward side tonight 

      F              Dm     G
Let a planet be your guide above the fields 

  C                 Em             C7               F
Beside the sleeping town, when the work is all shut down 

    G                              C
You will not be outsmarted by that song you left unsung 

        Am        Em                   Am
You got faith, to make your world take flight 

         Em              F    Am
There is still a ways to go

                          C   Am
'Bout a thousand miles or so

               C           G            Am
Even if you're sure before you begin to smile 

       C7            F             C                Em
Let it happen on its own, like the shellfish in the sea 

       F              Dm       G                C
I'm as selfish as can be, when it comes down to me 

              Em            C7            F
And all of my kin, all they want to do is win 

    G                           C
You will not be deserted by old friends you left alone

        Am       Em                Am
You got faith to make you meet the cost 

        Em                  F     Am
And you know you'd best not wait

                    C     Am
He who hesitates is lost

                  C
So even if you're sure

        G                    G7     C
It's so easy to be shellfish in the sea
