Add this to the chord version of the song. I love this song
and spent a couple hours on tabbing out the intro and the
exposed part at the end of the chorus. I'd love to get a
copy w/o voice so I could tab the whole song...

Helplessly Hoping.. CSN (1969)
Am7 C G D
Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers near-by, awaiting a word.
Am7 C G D
Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit he runs wishing he could fly
Am7 C G D
only to trip at the sound of good-bye...
Am7 C G
Wordlessly watching he waits by the window and wonders at the empty
D
place in-side
Am7 C G
Heartlessly helping him-self to her bad dreams he worries did he hear
D Am7 C G C/G
a goodbye or even... hel-lo?
CHORUS
G C/G G C/G G C/G
They are one person, they are two a-lone, they are three to-gether, they
G Dm/F C
are for... each other
Am7 C G
Stand by the starway you'll see something certain to tell you confusion
D
has its cost.
Am7 C G D
Love isn't lying it's loose in a lady who lingers, saying she is lost and
Am7 C C/G
choking... on hel-lo.
CHORUS
