Capo 1st fret. I play this song with an Fmaj7/C chord instead
of a normal F chord but it works either way i think. Same goes
for the G chord I may play just a B note on the A string while
leaving all other strings open. Another Travis picking pattern
song by Peter Bradley Adams as so many of his songs are.
[Intro]
Am-F-Am-F-Am-G-F
[Verse 1]
Am
If I told my secrets
F Am
If you knew the truth
F Am
If I lay before you
G F
What else could I lose?
Am
And if I told my story
F Am
'Til I reach the end
F Am
Would I leave it all behind me?
G F
Never told again
[Refrain]
F Am F Am F Am G F
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
Am
If I find my courage
F Am
Would it be enough?
F Am
To break the bars right open
G F
And know which way to run
Am
And all these eyes that watch me
F Am
See my every move
F Am
'Til the day that I'm forgotten
G F
I know it's coming soon
[Refrain]
F Am F Am F Am G F
Whoa, whoa, oh, oh
[Solo]
Am-F-Am-F-Am-G-F
[Verse 3]
Am
Somewhere down a river
F Am
There's a golden shore
F Am
Where the pine trees whisper
G F
Words I've heard before
Am
There's a voice that calls me
F Am
From the East and West
F Am
And I know where it finds me
G F
It won't let me forget
[Refrain]
F Am F Am F Am G F
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 4]
Am
Why am I so heavy?
F Am
But my heart so free
F Am
If I'm not the one you wanted
G F
Who else could I be?
G F
Who else could I be?
G F
Who else could I be?
