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.
Repeat Chorus twice
