Jackson Browne - From Silver Lake guitar tab

As you get better you can pick up songs by yourself. This is one I chorded myself recently.

FROM SILVER LAKE

C

Did you see our brother

G

He was here the other day

Em Am7 G G7

But he only came to say that he was leaving

Did you see his lady

She was looking where he'd gone

But she wasn't letting on that she was grieving

G F

She's bound to go

F G Cmaj9

Perhaps she'll find him waiting for his boat in some city far away

G F

She's bound to go

Lately I remember afternoons of smoke and wine

There was nothing we could find but peace and pleasure

And with a smile he told me

That he wanted just to be on his way across the sea no man can measure

He won't be back,

And the sun may find him sleeping in the dust of some ruin far away

He won't be back

F C

Early today as I watched while the skyline was shaking

G

I heard a rumbling

F C

Early today the mechanical city was waking

G

And I ran out stumbling, mumbling

C

Out through the laughter of children and dogs

Did you see our brother

He was here the other day

But he only came to say that he can't breathe here

Did you see his lady

She was reaching for his hand

Just as if to tell her man that she can't either

They're bound to go

And the sun may find me running after them, seeing something far away

We won't be back

COUNTER SONG AT THE END OF "FROM SILVER LAKE"

C

.....Someone who had been away

.....Suddenly came back today

F ? G

.....And I allowed him home today into my mind

C.....For a moment face to face

G.....Evil packed upon the place

??.....Long ago he meant to stay out there this time

C.....Oh, what do you know

F.....Not what I've been feeling

G.....The past is healing so slow

.....By tomorrow, gone from sorrow.
