Jackson Browne – For A Dancer (Ukulele)

C                     F
  Keep a fire burning in your eye

C                      F
  Pay attention to the open sky

C                     F                    C    G
  You never know what will be coming down

C                         F
  I don't remember losing track of you

C                                F
  You were always dancing in and out of view

C                         F                 C    G
  I must've thought you'd always be around

Am                      F                         C
  Always keeping things real by playing the clown

             G
  Now you're nowhere to be found

C                                F
  I don't know what happens when people die

C                                F
  Can't seem to grasp it as hard as I try

(F)           C                       F
  It's like a song I can hear playing right in my ear

               C                     G
  That I can't sing  -  I can't help listening

C                                 F
  And I can't help feeling stupid standing 'round

C                F
  Crying as they ease you down

C                          F                      C
  'Cause I know that you'd rather we were dancing

G                         Am
  Dancing our sorrow away

F
  Right on dancing

        C                   G
          No matter what fate chooses to play

                                      C
  There's nothing you can do about it anyway

       F                 C
  Just do the steps that you've been shown

     F               C            G
  By everyone you've ever known

 Am                     C7
  Until the dance becomes your very own

F               G
  No matter how close to yours

Am                            F
  Another's steps have grown

         C                G
  In the end there is one dance you'll do alone

C                   F
Keep a fire for the human race

C                            F
Let your prayers go drifting into space

C                           F        C
You never know what will be coming down

C                         F
Perhaps a better world is drawing near

C                           F
And just as easily it could all disappear

C                   F
Along with whatever meaning you might have

C     G
found

Am              F                    C
  Don't let the uncertainty turn you around

     G                          C
  Go on and make a joyful sound

    F           C
  Into a dancer you have grown

         F             C               G
  From a seed somebody else has thrown

Am                     C7                      F
  Go on ahead and throw some seeds of your own

F                      G                    Am
  And somewhere between the time you

C
arrive

                      F
  And the time you go

              C                     G
  May lie the reason you were alive
