Backside of the Power Curve

The (D) songs I write (G) I have been (D) told

Are like little chapters in a (A) book

When (D) finished (G) turn the (D) page

And make (A) another (D) fold

That has (G) been my (D) intent

All-----(A) along

To (D) offer little (G) vignettes of my (D) life

And describe (A) them in a (D) song

(D) Now we had a saying (G) while learning to (D) fly

That tested your judgment and your (A) nerve

When (D) making the (G) final (D) approach

Avoid the (A) backside of the power (D) curve

Once in that (G) position and your touch-down (D) spot

Is short of the runway-(A) dash

There is (D) no way to add (G) enough power to reach (D) it

So………….(A) ….you ….(D) crash

So I try to stay top (G) side of the power (D) curve

When I am writing and singing my (A) songs

Doesnt take much (G) courage or much (D) nerve

To chop off the (A) power when you are right (D) on

So take those (G) little (D) chapters

That make up the pages to my (A) book

Hum (D) them or sing (G) them if thats what youre (D) after

And when you are (A) finished, hang em on your own little (D) hook

Avoid the back(G) side of the power (D) curve

…………Roger four five Alpha (fade)
