Harris Emmylou - Slow Surprise guitar tab

Emmylou Harris Slow Surprise written by Chris Smither

Am G F Am G F

C Am

There is a way that subtle changes come to stay

F Am

Barely noticed, hardly known

C Am

One day you'll say my situation's locked away

F Am

But by tomorrow you're all alone

C F Am

It seems so sudden, but it's not, it's only grown

C G F Am

From a seed that long ago was left forgotten in the snow

C F Am

And has a way with slow surprises all its own

Am C Am

It's hard to show, but like a boulder rollin' slow

F Am

Or a rumble deep in the ground

C Am

Things whisper low and by the time I really know

F Am

What's been movin' they've settled down

C F Am

Too late to see the way they're shiftin' round

C G F Am

Too late to say there's bound to be another way

C F Am

It's all been said and done without a sound

Am G F Am G F

C Am

This comes to me, and now that I begin to see

F Am

It's not dramatic, it's nothing grand

C Am

I used to be half of the whole of you and me

F Am

Now I'm the limit of all I am

C F Am

It seems so simple, nothin' much to understand

C G F Am

You walked out and closed the door, said I don't live here anymore

C F Am

And now nothin's hangin' heavy in my hands

C F Am

Now nothin's hangin' heavy in my hands

C Am

In my hand in my hands

F Am

Nothin's hanging heavy in my hands
