Jackson Browne – Farther On (Ukulele)

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

    Bm        G       D
And passed my days alone

Bm            E        A    
Adrift on an ocean of loneliness

    G          A         D
My dreams like nets were thrown

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

   Bm        G         D
In books and films and songs

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

       G               A          D
In the place where the real world belongs

        G            A         D
Still I look for the beauty in songs

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

          G           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      A      A
To those gentle     ones  my memory runs

       Bm          G             D
To the laughter we shared at the meals

Bm             E            A
I filled their kitchens and living rooms

       G              A         D
With my schemes and my broken wheels

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

    Bm           G          D
The gates to my citadel lay

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

         G               A       D
But they listened to mine anyway

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

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

         G      A              D
Though I keep a watch over the distance

            A                        G
Heaven's no closer than it was yesterday

        D          A        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#            A
At the maps and the drawings of the journey I've begun

        G         A               D
Now the distance leads me farther on

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

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

       A                G
In the sand beneath the dawn

        D          A        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        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

       A       D      G  A
Moving farther on
