One for the Road (Songs from the Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry the Musical)
For the Am7* add the pinky on fret 3 of the high e (x02013)
This is my first pass on this one. I will revisit it to try to figure out the
nuance and maybe add a couple bits of tab.
[Intro]
Em Am7 D/F# G
Em Am7 D7 G Gsus4
[Verse 1]
G Am7 D/F# It feels like years since I've looked in your eyes G Gsus4 And I've missed them every day G Am7 So blue and bright now like the summer skies D/F# G Against my sad suburban grey Em Oh Harold, you've changed A7 And I feel estranged Am7 D G C/G And like I've been cut into quarters
[Verse 2]
G Am7 It's been a lifetime since I held your hand D/F# G Gsus4 G And now it feels just like a dream Em Am7 So rough and rugged now you've lived the land D/F# G Holding mine so small and clean Gsus4 G Em Oh Harold, you've been A7 Drifting downstream Am7 D G C/G And you left me in the shallow waters
[Chorus 1]
G Am7 Am7* Am7 And I don't know if I can do this anymore D7 G Gsus4 G It doesn't feel like it felt before Em Am7 There's so much less and yet there's so much more D7 I've spent a lifetime with you G Em I've given everything Am7 B7 Perhaps I've nothing left to give you C Other than my words Dadd11 G Gsus4 G But I can't find the words to say
[Instrumental]
Em Am7 D6/F# G5 G Gadd9
Em Am7 D7 G Gsus4
[Verse 3]
G Am7 It's been forever since I heard you laugh D/F# G Gsus4 G And now it sounds just like a song Em Am7 So soft and soothing yet it breaks my heart D/F# G For I'm not sure where I belong Gsus4 G Em Maureen, it's strange A7 So much has changed Am7 D G C/G And I fear the daylight's getting shorter
[Chorus 2]
G Am7 Am7* Am7 For I'd love to show you all the beauty that I've seen D7 G Gsus4 G The morning rain upon the hills of green Em Am7 Am7* The evening sunlight on the mountain stream D7 You say you can't come with me G Em But I know that I can't stay Am7 B7 I need something you can't give me C I wish I had the words Dadd11 G G7 But I can't find the words to say
[Outro]
C Cm You know it's strange, but I just can't recall G D/F# Em A7 Falling in love or even meeting you at all Am7 D G G7 G Gadd9 G7 Funny how these memories slip away C Cm So for now we'll draw the line G D/F# Em A7 You walk your road and I'll walk mine Am7 D7 Until the day that we can find N.C. G Gsus4 G The words to say
