Chords

Attempt to capture chords for the track from Passenger's new album One for the Road (Songs from the Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry the Musical) Chords with an asterisk indicate single strums This is a first pass and I will work on adding some tab for the more intricate movement in the instrumental sections. [Intro] C G Am F C G F F C G Am F C G F F [Verse 1]
          C           G        Am             F
Well this road is long and I'm so far from my home

C           G             F          F
  Some days I don't recognise myself

          C              G         Am               F
Though my faith is strong there is still so far to go

C             G                F            F
  Some nights I can't help but doubt myself
[Chorus 1]
    Dm                G          C               F
For I'm not the kid I used to be back when I was young

  Dm               G                C                    F
I talk now where I used to shout, I walk where I used to run

         Dm                G         C                  F
But I am still my father's boy, I am still my mother's son

           Dm  Dsus2 Dm          G7
And they know           like I know

G7*
  That the road is long
[Interlude] C G Am F C G F F [Verse 2]
          C           G        Am                  F
Well this road is long and the path's not always clear

C           G                  F         F
  Some days I don't know which way to go

          C              G        Am          F
Though my heart is strong it gets heavy with fear

C                G             F         F
  Some nights I wonder if I'll ever know
[Chorus 2]
    Dm                   G             C              F
For I'm not the man I'll grow to be in many years to come

     Dm             G                      C                   F
I'll listen where I used to speak and I'll sit where I used to run

        Dm               G         C            F
Maybe a husband to a wife, maybe a father to a son

              Dm  Dsus2 Dm          G7  G6
And they'll know           like I know

G7              G6  C
  That the road is long
[Instrumental] C G Am F C G F F C G Am F C G F F [Chorus 3]
        Dm                     G
But for now I'm just the man I am

        C                 F
Nothing less and nothing more

    Dm            G
I'm everything I have become

     C                  F
From all that's been before

     Dm             G
I've never really known a lot

    C               F
But one thing I am sure

         Dm  Dsus2 Dm          G7  G6
That I know           Yes, I know

G7         G6  C
  The road is long
[Outro] C G Am F C G F F C G Am F C G7 G6 Fsus2 C/E D7sus4 Gsus4 C
