Ted Gärdestad – Id Rather Write A Symphony (Guitar)

Ebm9               Ab7sus4
I'd rather write a symphony

Fm7                    Bbm9  Bbm9/Ab
Than play this lonely melody

Ebm9      Ab7sus4                 Dbmaj9 Db/F
You know I just gotta bring it all out.

Ebm9               Ab7sus4
So if you need my company

Fm7                    Bbm9  Bbm9/Ab
Open your eyes, look att me

Ebm9      Ab7sus4                 Dbmaj9
While I'm singing my life away.

Ebm9               Ab7sus4
I'd rather hear your interlude

Fm7                    Bbm9  Bbm9/Ab
Than live my life in solitude

Ebm9      Ab7sus4                 Dbmaj9 Db/F
You know it's so hard to play it alone.

Ebm9               Ab7sus4
So if you need me close to you

F7          F7/A
Stay by my side

    Bbm9  Bbm9/Ab
And help me through

Ebm9      Ab7sus4
While I'm singin my pain away.

Cm Cm/Eb       F      F/A
   Often we're aching

Bbm      Bbm/C  Db   Db/F
We're so easily breaking

Cm   Cm/Eb       F      F/A
  My fingers are shaking

Bbm      Bbm/C  Db   Db/F
Oh, I gotta hang on to myself

Cm Cm/Eb       F      F/A
   Often it's trying

Bbm      Bbm/C  Db   Db/F
Hiding tears when I'm crying

Edim      Edim/G      Edim/Bb
     When somethin is wrong

Edim/Db                Bbm      Bbm/C  Db   Db/F
       It's hard to be strong

Edim      Edim/G      Edim/Bb
      The minute they're gone

Eb7  Ab Bbm Ab/C
I'll carry  on.

Ebm9               Ab7sus4
I'd rather share your sympathy

Fm7                  Bbm9  Bbm9/Ab
Than sail away in majesty

Ebm9         Ab7sus4            Dbmaj9 Db/F
You know I'm dying to have you around

Ebm9                 Ab7sus4
 I'd rather write a symphony

Fm7                  Bbm9  Bbm9/Ab
 Than play this lonely melody

Ebm9         Ab7sus4            Dbmaj9 Db/F
 You know I just gotta bring it all out.

Ebm9                 Ab7sus4
So if you need my company

F7          F7/A    Bbm9       Bbm9/Ab
Open your eyes, and look at me

Ebm9         Ab7sus4      Fm7  Bbm9 Bbm9/Ab
While I'm singing my life away.
