Album: She Remembers Everything.
Capo 3.
Intro: Am Em Am Em Am Em7 Am C D Am G6 C D Am
C Em D
All those who go before us,
Am7 Am G6 Em
The mothers and the kings,
C Em D
Shakespeare and my father,
Am7 G6 Em
Who kick dust up in my dreams,
C D7/F#
If you're too close to the voices,
Am C
You can stray far from the track,
D G
So goodbye, my friends,
Dm Am G D Am
It's my turn to won't look back.
Break: G Em C D Am7 A Am7 A
Am C D
The ghosts have had their moment,
G Am7 Am
Now they fade into the sun,
C G/D D
Shining like a carousel,
Am7 Bm7
When summer's just begun,
C D7
Bonded for their silence,
Am G6 Am7
And I threw away the key,
D G
Someone's going down,
D7/F# Am D Am
But it's not me.
G Bm
All because I'm thankful,
F6 C
For what we don't understand
G Bm
The undiscovered country,
Fmaj7 A G6 Am
Between a woman and a man.
Break: C D Am C D Am7 D7 D/E Am
C G D
All those who follow after,
D7 Am
Are children who we pledge,
C D
To a story of some sailors,
Am G6 Em
Who float beyond the edge,
D G D7 D
To their little old box of wishes,
Am C
Oh we want them to retire,
D
Just beyond their grasp,
G Am
And plain desires.
C D
The old men never helped us,
Am7
They took our every vow,
C D
Turned them into money,
Am
And look where we are now,
C D7 D
Waiting for a savior,
Am
But she walks alone to sea,
C D G/D G6 Em C
And someone's going down,
G Am7 Am
She went down for me.
G Bm
And still she says she's thankful,
D F6 C
For what we don't understand,
G D/F#
The undiscovered country,
Fmaj7 Am7
In every woman, every man,
Break: C D Am C D Am C D Am G/D G6 C Am
C n/c
Some day will come the questions,
n/c
With no answers, but we ask,
n/c
Just the same when we were children,
n/c
Which was sweet but doesn't last,
G Am7
From the undiscovered country,
Am
We hear the old refrain,
D
The sky is blue,
C G6 Am
For the few who remain.
G Bm
All because I'm thankful,
F6 C
For the things we never planned,
G D/F#
The undiscovered country,
Fmaj7 Am7
In every woman, every man,
G D
Raise a glass, be thankful,
F6 C
For what we don't understand,
G D7/F# Bm F
The undiscovered country,
n/c Am7 D D7 Am
Between a woman and a man.
