All The Way From America Joan Armatrading From: "Me, Myself, I" 1980 Transcribed by Lisa Skerritt = [email protected]
This is how i hear it.....
Chords: E = 022100 Aadd9/E = 077600 Badd11 = 799800
Aadd9/E Badd11 But the weeks and the months and the years
EAadd9/E Passed by...
E And my eyes couldn't stand the strain
Aadd9/E Badd11 Of that promised love
EAadd9/EEAadd9/E All the way from America
EAadd9/EEAadd9/E All the way from America
EAadd9/E You called all the way from America
E Said I'll soon be home girl
Aadd9/E Badd11 And years and the tears and the fears,
EAadd9/E Passed by...
E And my heart couldn't stand the pain
Aadd9/E Badd11 of that promised love
EAadd9/EEAadd9/E All the way from America
EAadd9/EEAadd9/E All the way from America
EAadd9/E I stayed all alone and I waited round
E For you to knock at my door
Aadd9/E But the knock never came
Badd11 and no ring
EAadd9/E At all....
E And now I sit and wonder why
Aadd9/E Badd11 You made that first call
EAadd9/E All the way way from America
Badd11 I don't believe I'll stay here
EAadd9/E Badd11 I don't think I want to wait here anymore
Aadd9/E Badd11 And if you search for me baby
EAadd9/E Badd11 Better bring some more love than you declared
EAadd9/EE Badd11 Aadd9/E All the way from America
EAadd9/EEAadd9/E All the way from America
Aadd9/EEAadd9/EEAadd9/E
E And my heart couldn't stand the pain
Aadd9/E Badd11 of that promised love
EAadd9/EE Badd11 Aadd9/E All the way from America
EAadd9/EEAadd9/E All the way from America
EAadd9/EEAadd9/E All the way from America
EAadd9/EEAadd9/E Badd11 E [pause] EAadd9/EEAadd9/EEAadd9/E [fade]
