Writing In The Margins

Biography:

John Gorka (born in July 1958) is an American contemporary folk musician. In 1991, Rolling Stone magazine called him "the pre-eminent male singer-songwriter of what has been dubbed the New Folk Movement.

Gorka was born in Edison, New Jersey. He received his first guitar as a Christmas gift, though Gorka alleges that his older brother stole it from him shortly thereafter. He eventually learned, instead, to play the banjo, and began performing in a folk music group at his church.

John Gorka - Writing In The Margins

CAPO: 4th Fret

INTRO: C Em F G (2x)

C
I'm writing in the margins
Em
Notes to me and you
F
'Cause the pages are all filled
G
With new orders coming through

C
I am writing in the margins
Em
Notes to you and me
F
So maybe we'll remember
G
The good that didn't have to be

C
I am writing in the margins
Em
'Cause our days are spoken for
F
And your nights are with the restless
G
Who were broken in this war

Bridge:
Am
I stood twice and carried once
Em
And yes, I choose to serve
F
But there is no glory in it
G C
And my voice goes mostly unheard

INSTRUMENTAL: Em F G

C
We go when we are called
Em
And hope there's wisdom in the voice
F
And we fall back on our training
G
When the moment leaves no choice

C
I am writing in the margins
Em
Getting closer to the edge
F
I am running out my time
G
I am walking on a ledge

C
I am writing in the margins
Em
A horse that's going blind
F
Staying focused on my mission
G
And attached to my behind

C
I am writing in the margins
Em
Listing all I need to fix
F
You know my job is still in transport
G
Today, twenty tons of bricks

C
There's not a lot of rich boys
Em
Wearing DCU's and sand
F
But I'll think about that later
G C
When I make it home again___

INSTRUMENTAL: Em F G

C
I am writing in the margins
Em
In the outskirts of this town
F
Peeking up at you
G
On the day you wore that gown

C
I guess I'll try to sleep now
Em
When I get this off to you
F
Knowing there is at least one thing
G
In this world that still is true

C Em
I am writing in the margins
F G
I am writing in the margins
C Em
I am writing in the margins
F G
I am writing in the margins
C Em
I am writing in the margins
F G Dm G Dm G C
I am writing in the margins
