James Taylor – Fading Away (Guitar)

C             F         G  C    
When I've got something to say,

        Am             F
don't I always let you know?

        Am            D7       Gsus G  C
So that you and I can go my way together.

C            F       G  C    
And if I get carried a-way,

           Am           F
I could be sailing on a song

    Am             D7      Gsus G C
and maybe we could carry on forever.

    F       G       C            Am         F
But lately this old dog has been chasing his tail 

Dm         G         C
round and round and round.

        F       G     C         
And the circles in my mind,

               E       E7     F
they have been winding slowly down.

Dm   Dm/E   F        F          Am              D                  Gsus  G   C
Everybody's breezing up but I'm seizing up, I'm freezing up and I'm fa-ding away.

C          F         G         C 
I've got a hold on a night in June, 

         Am               F
I've got room for you and me.

         Am                   D7          
I've got moonlight up in the trees, 

         Gsus  G     C
I've got sixty-eight degrees.

C        F        G    C
I've got nothing on my mind 

              Am          F
but I've got loving in my heart,

             Am                   D7   
And I've got something out in the garden 

         Gsus G C  
I want to show you.

F            G           C           Am   F
Well, it really doesn't matter after all, 

       Dm        G     C
if we quit this round about

       F        G      C
and no one will really notice if we just 

E         E7      F
sit this next one out.

            Dm       Dm/E  F         F            
You can strike up the band without me, 

        Am                     D7          
you may have your doubts about me,

             Gsus G  G C
But I'm just fa-ding away.

C       Am          D7                Gsus-G   G C
You can hardly even see me because I'm fa-ding a-way.

           F       G      C 
Well, it's hard to find a label 

         Am            F
for this feeling in my bones.

             Dm     G   C    
That this is all a make-believe 

C      F         G      C
but my cards are on the table

                E       E7    F
and there ain't nothing up my sleeve.

    Dm     Dm/E            F        F  
And here I thought I was a thinking man 

          Am                 D7
but I'm a shrinking man, I'm sinking man,

    Gsus G  Gsus G  C
I'm fa-ding, fading away.

           Am            D7        Gsus-G  G C
Well, it's really not so bad to be fa-ding a-way.

 Am                D7             Gsus-G   G C
Come on along with me and we'll go fa-ding a-way.

        Am          D7                  Gsus-G  G C
You can hardly even hear me because I'm fa-ding a-way.
