Jackson Browne – Farther On (Guitar)

      Dsus4/A  D/A     Asus4  A
In my early    years I hid my tears

    Bm        G       D
And passed my days alone

Bm            E       Asus4 A    
Adrift on an ocean of loneliness

    G          Asus4 A      D
My dreams like nets    were thrown

   Dsus4/A    D/A       Asus4     A
To catch  the love that I'd heard of

   Bm        G         D
In books and films and songs

              Bm          E         Asus4   A
Now there's a world of illusion and fantasy

       G               Asus4 A       D
In the place where the real  world belongs

        G            Asus4  A    D
Still I look for the beauty   in songs

           F#m              Asus4 A
To fill my head and lead me on

          G           Asus4   A        D
Though my dreams have come up torn and empty

        A                          G
As many times as love has come and gone

         Dsus4/A    D/A      Asus4  A
To those gentle     ones  my memory runs

       Bm          G             D
To the laughter we shared at the meals

Bm             E            Asus4  A
I filled their kitchens and living rooms

       G               Asus4 A D
With my schemes and my broken  wheels

       Dsus4/A   D/A       Asus4  A
It was never     clear how far or near

    Bm           G          D
The gates to my citadel lay

          Bm           E          Asus4           A 
They were cutting from stone some dreams of their own

         G           Asus4 A  D
But they listened to mine any way

        G             Asus4 A    D
I'm not sure what I'm trying  to say

         F#m             Asus4 A
It could be I've lost my way

         G      Asus4 A        D
Though I keep a watch over the distance

            A                        G
Heaven's no closer than it was yesterday

        D          A     Gdim F#
And the angels are older

     Bm               Bm/A           G
They know not to wait up for the sun

                  D         A/C#
They look over my shoulder

       Bm           Bm/A            E/G#            Asus4 A
At the maps and the drawings of the journey I've begun

        G        Asus4 A          D
Now the distance leads me farther on

           F#m                    Asus4 A
Though the reasons I once had are gone

       G             Asus4 A        D
I keep thinking I'll find  what I'm looking for

       A                G
In the sand beneath the dawn

        D          A     Gdim F#
But the angels are older

     Bm               Bm/A          G
They can see that the sun's setting fast

                  D        A/C#
They look over my shoulder

       Bm           Bm/A      E/G#                      A
At the vision of paradise contained in the light of the past

         D           A      Gdim F#
And they lay down behind me

                    Bm            Bm/A           G
To sleep beside the road till the morning has come

                          D       A/C#
Where they know they will find me

        Bm          Bm/A                G
With my maps and my faith in the distance

       Asus4 A D  G  D
Moving farther on
