"Hard To Say" by Dan Fogelberg 1981

I'm playing this with the bass E dropped to D, so I'm diagramming a few of the

chords to illustrate what you have to do to keep that bass string right. Also,

the phrasing is a little laidback, so the chord placements are only approximates.

A simplified tab of the intro. This is also played after some of the lines and

between some of the verses.

= pull off

/= hammer on (in the tab)

The "/" under the tab is to approximate where the beats are.

Intro: D G(no third) D...

D A G A

Lucky in love, well maybe so

555333

D A Gm A

There's still a lot of things you'll never know

D A G A

Like why each time the sky begins to snow

222000 444222

D Em F#m G#m F#m Em

You cry...

D A G A

You're faithful to her in your careless way

D A Gm A

So you miss her when she's far away

D A G A

But every time you think you've got it straight

D (repeat intro)

You fall...

You face the future with a weary past

Those dreams you banked upon are fading fast

You know you love her but it may not last

You fear...

It's never easy and it's never clear

Who's to navigate and who's to steer

So you flounder drifting ever near

The rocks...

CHORUS: 222100

G E

It's hard to say where love went wrong

D D7

It's hard to say just when (it's so hard to say)

G Em

It's hard to walk away from love

G Gm A

It may never come again

You do your best to keep your hand in play

And try to keep those lonesome blues at bay

You think you're winning but it's hard to say

Sometimes...

repeat chorus

repeat first verse
