Rogers Stan - Forty-five Years guitar chord

#

From: dmerrett@fox.nstn.ns.ca (Doug Merrett)

Just so happens I've got that one on the machine....  Let's see now...

Oh yeah, a caveat, since I actually play mandolin I usually simpify guitar

chords, not knowing how to translate them there sus's and things...  So this

might not be strictly chapter and verse, but it works.  Enjoy.

Forty-Five Years  (guitar - capo 3rd fret) - By Stan Rogers

           G    

Where the Earth show it bones of wind broken stone

         D/F#

and the sea and the sky are one

     Am                      C    

I'm caught out of time, my blood sings with wine

          D/F#

and I'm running naked in the sun

         G

There's God in the trees, I'm weak in the knees

        D/F#

and the sky is a painful blue

     Am                       C          D/F#     G

I'd like to look around, but Honey all I see is you.

CHORUS

Intro to chorus is G-C-G-D/F#

       C                                           G       C         G

And I just want to hold you closer than I've ever held anyone before

               C                             G

You say you've been twice a wife and you're through with life

       Am             Am/G        D/F#

Ah but Honey what the hell's it for

        C                                               G

After twenty-three years you'ld think I could find a way

            C           G

to let you know somehow

        Am                Am/G       D/F#                G

That I want to see your smiling face forty five years from now.

      G                                

The summer city lights will soften the night

          D

'Til you'd think that the air is clear

         Am                           C                

And I'm sitting with friends where forty-five cents

      D

Will buy another glass of beer

            G

He's got something to say, but I'm so far away

         D

That I don't know who I'm talking to

         Am                             C             D      G

'Cause you just walked in the door, and Honey, All I see is you.

To Chorus

       G

So alone in the lights on stage every night

             D/F#

I've been reaching out to find a friend

      Am                  C

Who knows all the words, sings so she's heard

     D/F#

And knows how all the stories end

       G

Maybe after the show she'1l ask me to go

      D/F#

Home with her for a drink or two

         Am                         C            D/F#   G

Now her smile lights her eyes, but Honey, all I see is you.
