Song: The Promise

By: Tracy Chapman

Album: New Beginnings

I haven't yet had the time to write down how it is picked,

but you can figure it out by ear without much trouble.

capo on 4th fret

INTRO: A Amaj7/G# Dmaj9 (repeat)

VERSE:

A Amaj7/G# Dmaj9 A/E

If you wait for me

Then I'll come for you

C#m Dmaj7 E

Although I've travelled far

C#m Dmaj7 D E7 A -- repeat intro chords twice

I always hold a place for you in my heart

(repeat verse chords)

If you think of me

If you miss me once in a while

Then I'll return to you

I'll return and fill that space in your heart

CHORUS:

A E F#m Dmaj7 E A E F#m

Remembering your touch, your kiss, your warm embrace,

Dmaj7 E A E F#m

I'll find my way back to you

Dmaj7 E E7 A -- repeat intro as before

If you'd be waiting

VERSE:

If you dream of me

Like I dream of you

In a place that's warm and dark

In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart

Oh I've longed for you

And I have desired

To see your face, your smile

To be with you wherever you are

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE:

I've longed for you

And I have desired

To see your face your smile

To be with you wherever you are

LAST CHORUS:

Remembering your touch, your kiss, your warm embrace,

I'll find my way back to you

Please say you'll be waiting

FINALE:

F#m Dmaj7 E A E F#m

Together again, it would feel so good to be

Dmaj7 E A E F#m

In your arms Where all my journeys end

Dmaj7 E A E F#m

If you can make a promise If it's one that you can keep

Dmaj7 E A E7 A Amaj7/G# Dmaj9 A/E E

I vow to come for you If you wait for me

C#m E Dmaj9

And say you'll hold

D E A

A place for me in your heart

(sing last line three times over intro chords and quit)
