Suzanne Vega – Some Journey (Guitar)

         Asus2
If I had met you on some journey

Fmaj7
Where would we be now

   Asus2
If we had met some eastbound train

        Fmaj7
Through some black sleeping town

      A7sus
Would you have worn your silken robes

                   A
All made of royal blue?

     Gadd#11              G             Gadd9#11
Would I have dressed in smoke and fire

              G              Asus2      Dm6/F  F  G
For you to see through?  Ah           Ah

    Asus2
If we had met in a darkened room

Fmaj7
Where people do not stay

    Asus2
But shadows touch and pass right through

    Fmaj7
And never see the day

      A7sus
Would you have taken me upstairs

                          A
And turned the lamplight low?

     Gadd#11          G
Would I have shown my secret self

Gadd9#11                           Asus2      Dm6/F
And disappeared like the snow? Ah           Ah

    Asus2
Oh, I could have played your little girl

   Fmaj7
Or I could've played your wife

Asus2
I could have played your mistress

        Fmaj7
Running danger down through you life

A7sus                  A
I could've played your lady fair

    A7sus                    A
All dressed in lace like the foam from the sea

Gadd#11               G
I could've been your woman of the road

    Gadd9#11                      G             Am          Dm6/F  F  G
As long as you did not come back home to me  Ah           Ah

    Asus2
But as it is, we live in the city

Fmaj7
And everything stays in place

    Asus2
Instead we meet on the open sidewalk

         Fmaj7
And it's well I know your face

   A7sus              A
We talk and talk, we tell the truth

      A7sus
There are no shadows here

    Gadd#11       G
But when I look into your eyes

  Dm7                         Gadd#11
I wonder what might have been here

       A7sus              A
Cause if I had met you on some journey

A7sus          A  Gadd#11
Where would we be now?
