Judy Collins – So Alive (Guitar)

Bm                            A
We were young together once upon a long lost time

 G                               F#m              A
Apple trees were blossoming and spring was on my mind

 Bm                           A
Guitars on MacDougal Street, sandals in the snow

 G                             Bm               E   E
When I fell in love with you I was the last to know

 Bm                                 A
Down in Greenwich Village we would scatter through the nights

 G                         Bm              A
Singing at The Bitter End under all those lights

 G                                   F#m
Making love in the single beds, you always left by dawn

 G                                    F#m                       D  D  Bm  Bm
Climbing on the Greyhound bus, (where you) where you would be alone

 Bm                         A
Singing in MacArthur Park, singing in Cheyenne

G                           Bm
 Singing in the wilderness where the truths began

Bm                            A
We were gypsies in the wind, learning just to fly

 G                        Bm                E  E
Making music, making love as the years went by

Bm                           A
You had rhythm in your soul, I had violins

 G                             Bm           A
You were rich and I was poor, trying to fit in

 G                                 F#m
Back on Bleeker in the spring and haunting Jackson Square

G                            F#m             D   D  D
In the Fat Black Pussy Cat, catch me if you dare!

             Am  G  D   D
We were so aliiiiiiive

 Bm                                A
Then the world was going mad, the sky was overcast

 G                                 F#m          A
Found my peace in whiskey and the poets of the past

Bm                                   A
You were moving past me through the dark night of your soul

G                             Bm                  E  E
I was singing folk songs and dreamed of rock and roll

     Bm                                A
The devil's in the details, you said, dreaming of your death

G                            Bm            A
I was running faster, I was nearly out of breath

 G                                 F#m
Long before we lost our dreams and all our songs were sung

     G                              F#m         D       D  D
You left the world too early, your spirit died too young

             Am  G  D  D  Bm  Bm
We were so aliiiiiiive

Bm                          A
I was headed for the moon, aching to be free

 G                                F#m              Bm
Searching for the answers in the booze and the marquee

 Bm                                A
What is left of Greenwich Village lives among your songs

     G                                     A              E    E
The ones we thought were always right and never would be wrong

Bm                                    A
Now sometimes the only thing that it gives me hope is you

 G                                       Bm
You who saw right through the veil that fell out of the blue

G                         F#m
I will always miss you, I will always hear your songs

 G                                F#m             D  D  D
Now the past is fading, one more dream and it is gone

             Am  G  D  D  Bm  Bm
We were so aliiiiiiive

Bm                            A
We were young together once upon a long lost time

 G                               F#m              A
Apple trees were blossoming and spring was on my mind

 Bm                           A
Guitars on MacDougal Street, sandals in the snow

G                              Bm               E   E  E  E
I am still in love with you, I was the last to know
