Thoroughfare Gap

by Stephen Stills

(Intro:  G   C   G   D   G   C   G   D)

      G                    C            G

Sometimes I Consider My Pace

            D                   G                       C

I'm Reminded Of A Train Gathering Speed

              G                    D

For The Climb To The Pass

                 G                    C

In Whose Shadow It All Really Lies

    G                 D              G

A Small Metal Wagon Approaching

       C                    G             D

The Ever Present Ascending Rise

                             G       C    G   D

To The Southern Mountains

G                   C                  G

Reeling And Snaking And Leaping

    D                    G                        C

It Seems Like It Wants To Come Loose

               G                 D

>From Its Path Cast In Iron

              G                          C

But She Can't Slow Down Now

            G                    D

As The Earth Has Presented

     G                    C

A New Crest To Reach

               G           D

Without Barely A Rest

                  G        C     G    D

>From The Last One

                G                   C                   G

And You Wonder Just What Lies Beyond

                          D                     G

Though You've Been There Before

             C                      G                       D

And Forget About The Effort And The Strain

G               C

Always Ascending

         G                    D

Each Yard Adds A Mile

             G                   C

To The Never-ending Pull

            G                D

Of The Steepening Grade

                G      C   G   D        G    C    G    D

That's Before You

     G            C              G            D

A Valley, A Forest, A Desert, A Stream

                G              C

With An Oversized Bridge

              G                   D

For The Trickle There Beneath

             G                  C

You Remember The Torrent

     G                     D

It Turned To Last Spring

                 G                      C

>From The Snows Melting Fast

               G              D

And The River It Became

           G           C      G      D

In The Summer

    G               C

Perhaps It Is Ruined

               G                   D

>From A Fire That Has Scorched It

      G               C

So Badly That Nothing

        G                     D

Will Grow Without Rain

      G                        C

To Wash Away The Blackened Soil

         G                 D                    G

Now Useless Till Called Upon Again

         C               G                 D

In A Future As Twisted And Far Away

                        G                  C        G       D

As The Next Range Of Mountains

      G             C                 G

So Take It As Far As You See

             D

And Beyond

G                                  C

With Eyes You Don't Use Enough

G               D

Gather Up Strength

      G                    C

As Thoroughfare Gap

           G                  D

Will Await You Forever

G                            C

You're Seeking To Get There

G             D

For Even Before

             C

It's No Matter

D

No Distance

G                 C      G   Gsus4   G

It's The Ride

from the Stephen Stills album, "Thoroughfare Gap" (1978) and the "CSN Boxed

Set"(1991)
