For A Dancer - JACKSON BROWNE
From the 1974 album: Late For The Sky
Sumbitted by D. Weil
The song is mainly played on a piano, but heres the guitar chords anyway. Pretty straight
foreward, no tricky stuff and all basic open position chords. Just watch for the Am to
C7 switch. Enjoy!

C F
Keep a fire burning in your eye
C F
Pay attention to the open sky
C F C G
You never know what will be coming down
C F
I don't remember losing track of you
C F
You were always dancing in and out of view
C F C G
I must've thought you'd always be around
Am F C
Always keeping things real by playing the clown
G
Now you're nowhere to be found
C F C G
C F
I don't know what happens when people die
C F
Can't seem to grasp it as hard as I try
(F) C F
It's like a song I can hear playing right in my ear
C G
That I can't sing - I can't help listening
C F
And I can't help feeling stupid standing 'round
C F
Crying as they ease you down
C F C
'Cause I know that you'd rather we were dancing
G Am
Dancing our sorrow away
F
Right on dancing
C G
No matter what fate chooses to play
C
There's nothing you can do about it anyway
F C
Just do the steps that you've been shown
F C G
By everyone you've ever known
Am C7
Until the dance becomes your very own
F G
No matter how close to yours
Am F
Another's steps have grown
C G
In the end there is one dance you'll do alone
C F C G
Keep a fire for the human race
Let your prayers go drifting into space
You never know what will be coming down
Perhaps a better world is drawing near
And just as easily it could all disappear
Along with whatever meaning you might have found
Am F C
Don't let the uncertainty turn you around
The world keeps turning around and around
G C
Go on and make a joyful sound
F C
Into a dancer you have grown
F C G
From a seed somebody else has thrown
Am C7 F
Go on ahead and throw some seeds of your own
F G Am
And somewhere between the time you arrive
F
And the time you go
C G
May lie the reason you were alive
But you'll never know
C F C G C G C
Good for the most part, but during the interlude where there is a violin solo you left out some crucial chords. There's more to it than C F C G. There are also Am and Em as well.
You're incorrect Malac. If you check the sheet music published by Warner Bros you will see the that A minors appear as set out in this version and that there are no E minors in the song.
