All Just To Get To You

Intro: G G F C (repeat)

Verse 1:

G

I have stumbled on the plains

G

Staggered in the wind

G

Stood at a crossroad or two

D

Cried to a river

D

Swept to the sea

G C G

All just to get to you

Verse 2:

I have flagged a yellow cab

Hopped a rusty freight

Sang till my lips turned blue

Flown a silver bird

On the tops of the clouds

All just to get to you

Chorus:

C

I ran too hard,

G

I played too Rough

C

I gave my Love

G

Not near Enough

C

I bled too red

G

I cried too blue

D

I beat my fist

D

Against the moon

C G

All just to get to you

Verse 3:

I have run from St. Paul

To Wichita Falls

Call'd you from sunny Baton Rouge

Hocked everything

From my watch to my ring

All just to get to you

Chorus

Break:

Bb Bbsus (repeat four times)

then hit: C C C

Verse 4:

From the California Shore

Where the mighty ocean roars

To the lands of the Hopi and the Sioux

I walked the desert sands

Crossed the Rio Grande

All just to get to you

Verse 5:

I have stumbled on the plains

Staggered in the wind

Stood at a crossroad or two

Cried to a river

Swept to the sea

All just to get to you

Repeat and fade:

G F C

All just to get to you
