¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
Capo on the fourth fret to play with the Rear View Mirror version.
This is a beautiful guitar pick that is not too difficult. The timing
is a little tricky hitting the F chord for one beat before the G7. Townes
actually only plays the "F" note (D string third fret above the capo) when
transitioning from the Dm to the G7. Listen to the "Rear View Mirror" version
to hear the pick.
[Verse]
C Em Dm F G7
So close and yet so far away
G7 F C
And all the things I'd hope to say
F Em Am
Will have to go unsaid today
F G7
Perhaps until tomorrow
C Em Dm F G7
Your fears have built a wall between
G7 F C
Our lives and all that loving means
F Em Am
Will have to go unfelt it seems
F G
Leaving only sorrow
[Chorus]
F G Em
You built your tower strong and tall
F G C
Can't you see it's got to fall someday
[Verse]
C Em Dm F G7
You close your eyes and speak to me
G7 F C
Of faith and love and destiny
F Em Am
As distant as eternity
F G7
From truth and understanding
C Em Dm F G7
The wind blows cold outside your door
G7 F C
It whispers words I've tried before
F Em Am
But you don't hear me anymore
F G
You're pride's just too demanding
[Chorus]
F G Em
You built your tower strong and tall
F G C
Can't you see it's got to fall someday
[Verse]
C Em Dm F G7
The end is coming soon it's plain
G7 F C
A warm bed just ain't worth the pain
F Em Am
And I will go and you'll remain
F G7
With bitterness we've tasted
C Em Dm F G7
A mother's breast a new born child
G7 F C
A poet's tears a drunken smile
F Em Am
I can't help thinking all the while
F G
Their meaning won't be wasted
[Chorus]
F G Em
You built your tower strong and tall
F G C
Can't you see it's got to fall someday
