Procol Harum - Pilgrims Progress guitar chord

"Pilgrims Progress"

(Matthew Fisher - Keith Reid)

Verse 1:

(D) G Bm Em /D

I sat me down to write a simple story

C G/B Am7 /G

Which maybe in the end became a song

D/F# Dm/F C/E Ebdim

In trying to find the words which might begin it

Em Am C D

I found these were the thoughts I'd brought along

Verse 2:

At first I sought to be an anchor

I gathered up my fears to ride me round

But then I clearly saw my own delusion

And found my struggles further brought me down

Verse 3:

In starting out I thought to go exploring

And set my foot upon the nearest road

In vain I looked to find the promised turning

But only saw how far I was from home

Bridge:

D D7/C G/B C G/B C G/B

In searching I forsook the paths of learning

D D7/C G/B C G/B C G/B

And sought instead to find some pirate's gold

D D7/C G/B C G/B C G/B

In fighting I did hurt those dearest to me

C G/B Am7 Am7/G

Still no hidden truths could I unfold

Instrumental break:

organ solo (chord progression as per last two lines of verse)

Verse 4:

I sat me down to write a simple story

Which maybe in the end became a song

The words have all been read by one before me

We're taking turns in trying to pass them on

B7/D# Em Am7 Am7/D G [N.C.]

Oh, we're taking turns in trying to pass them on

Coda:

piano (chords and rests as indicated):

D D/C G/B Am

/ } / } / } / } / } / } / } / }

band enters; continue to fade:
