Stevie Nicks – Show Them The Way (Guitar)

C                 D                Em
      Please God, show 'em the way

C           D           Em
Please God, on this day

G C           D                  Em
  Spirits all given the strength

C                     D              C
Peace can come if you really want it

                D               Em
I had a fragile dream in a gray house in the Hamptons

C                D             Em                       D
I'd been there before, singing songs and doing benefits

    C          D    Em
Was in a room alone putting on my makeup

     C                        D          C
Like so many things that come to me, the dress came across the Persian carpet

     D             Em                       C
As I fell into the dress, a thought came to me

D       Em              C
Into my heart, I have a dream

D            Em
  And a door opened

  C                  D
I turned to face the music

C                              D  Em
  I was ready for the Kennedys

  C                    D    Em
I don't know if it was 1960   or 1963

C                D       Em
  Everything was timeless, even me

         C             D            Em
I wasn't old, I wasn't young, I was just part of their dream

  C                     D              C
A shadow walked with me down the hall, it was Martin Luther King

       D             Em
All in shadow, all before me, overwhelmed by

C       D        Em
Destiny, someone said, "Sing us a song

          C     D                 Em
There's a piano"  and handed me a drink

             C            D              C             D C
The room was full of hope,  a song would set them free

C                 D                Em
      Please God, show 'em the way

C           D           Em
Please God, on this day

G C           D                  Em
  Spirits all given the strength

C                     D              C
Peace can come if you really want it

                D   Em
I sat at the piano, stared out of the shadows

C                  D        Em
I sang the words, "I have a dream"

          C             D              Em
He wasn't my old friend John, I didn't know him then

       C         D   C
But he smiled at me,   and I sang these words

         D
Whatever it takes

Em                   C       D
Whatever it takes to be free

Em                   C        D
   No, I didn't know these men

Em               C  D  C
   But they knew me

C               D    Em
It was all symbolic, nothing was as it seemed

C               D              Em                            Bm   C
  They all left us in a single shot but they didn't take the dream

          D             Em
They were there in that house, discussing the future

    C            D            C
And drinking champagne, I was just a piano player

          D              Em
The voice, part of their dream

             C        D              Em
I was thirty-five and maybe I was fifteen

       C            D            Em                        C
It was just another night in the presence of Martin Luther King

D            C                            D       Em
I was just a dreamer; I was ready for the Kennedys

Em
And I said

C                 D                Em
      Please God, show 'em the way

C           D           Em
Please God, on this day

          C              D
Light the fire, start it over

         Em
Tell the world about the dream

C               D           C
Start it up and make it real

C          Em    D    Am          G
Please God       show him the way

C          Em    D        Am      G
Please God       show her the way

C          Em    D         Am     G
Please God       show them the way

C
Please God

C                D              Em
Back in the room where it all began

                  C     D         Em  Bm
My heart began to heal, I believe it

C              D                 Em
I remember the beauty of the Hamptons

                C
Shadows playing in the sun

D         C
  A voice said, "The dream is not over, no

              D         Em
The dream has just begun"

                 C              D
I spun around to see another shadow

Em
Slipping through the door

    C              D      Em
And my eyes opened wide, "What is this all for?"

        C             D                C
And the shadow said, "Don't forget it, don't forget

                      D    Em
What we were fighting for, don't forget it"

Em
And I said

C           D                Em
Please God, show 'em the way

                   C
(It's just another night)

C           D           Em
Please God, on this day

               C
(Martin Luther King)

            D                 Em
Spirits all given the strength   (Sing us a song)

C                     D           C
Peace can come if you fight for it (Don't forget it)

                         D
Think we're just in time-ime to say

 Em
(Ooh, and said, oh said)

C           D               Em
Please God, show 'em the way  (All in shadow)

C           D          Em
Please God, on this day   (All before me)

C           D                 C
Spirits all given the strength

                      D           Em
Peace can come if you fight for it

            C            D      Em   C
Think we're just in time to say this

    D        Em   C  D
Set them free

C
Room was full of hope

C           D               Em
Please God, show 'em the way   (I believe it)

C           D          Em
Please God, on this day   (Don't forget it)

C           D                 Em
Spirits all given the strength

Em                C     D    C
Don't forget what    we were fighting for

                         D         Em
Think we're just in time-ime to say

C             D  Em
Peace can come      if you fight for it

C             D  Em
Peace can come      if you try harder

C             D  C
Peace can come,  ooh, if you really want it

C         D  Em
That dream

C                           D Em
Don't forget it, please God

          C  D   C
Show them    the way
