Judy Collins - So Begins The Task
CAPO: 4th Fret
[Verse 1]
D A C Bm A
Now begins the task I have dreaded the coming of for so long
D A C Bm A
I wait for the sun to remind my body it needs resting
[Chorus]
Em G D A
I must learn to live without you now
Em G D A
As I cannot learn to give only part - somehow
[Verse 2]
D A C Bm
Camping on the edge of your city, I wait
G D A
Hoping someday you'll see beyond yourself
D A C Bm
Shadows on the ceiling, hard, but not real
G D A
Like the bars that cage me within myself
[Chorus]
Em G D A
I must learn to live without you now
Em G D A
As I cannot learn to give only part - somehow
[Instrumental]
D A C Bm G D A (2x)
[Chorus]
Em G D A
I must learn to live without you now
Em G D A
As I cannot learn to give only part - somehow
[Verse 2]
D A C Bm
All of these cages must and shall be set aside
G D A
They can only keep us from the knowing
D A C Bm
Actors and stages now bow before the truth
G D A
And the love between remains a-growing
[Chorus]
Em G D A
I must learn to live without you now
Em G D A
As I cannot learn to give only part - somehow
[Outro]
D A C Bm G D A
