FARTHER ON � Jackson Browne
(Album: Late for the sky)

Intro:
|Dsus4/A D/A |A |Bm G |D |
|Bm E |A |G A |D |


Dsus4/A D/A A A
In my early years I hid my tears

Bm G D
And passed my days alone
Bm E A
Adrift on an ocean of loneliness
G A D
My dreams like nets were thrown
Dsus4/A D/A A A
To catch the love that I'd heard of
Bm G D
In books and films and songs
Bm E A
Now there's a world of illusion and fantasy
G A D
In the place where the real world belongs
G A D
Still I look for the beauty in songs

F#m A
To fill my head and lead me on
G A D
Though my dreams have come up torn and empty
A G
As many times as love has come and gone


Dsus4/A D/A A A
To those gentle ones my memory runs
Bm G D
To the laughter we shared at the meals
Bm E A
I filled their kitchens and living rooms
G A D
With my schemes and my broken wheels

Dsus4/A D/A A A
It was never clear how far or near
Bm G D
The gates to my citadel lay
Bm E A
They were cutting from stone some dreams of their own
G A D
But they listened to mine anyway
G A D
I'm not sure what I'm trying to say

F#m A
It could be I've lost my way
G A D
Though I keep a watch over the distance
A G
Heaven's no closer than it was yesterday

D A F#
And the angels are older
Bm Bm/A G
They know not to wait up for the sun
D A/C#
They look over my shoulder
Bm Bm/A E/G# A
At the maps and the drawings of the journey I've begun

Solo:
|Dsus4/A D/A |A |Bm G |D A/C# |
|Bm E |A |G A |D |
|Dsus4/A D/A |A |Bm G |D A/C# |
|Bm E |A |G A |D |

G A D
Now the distance leads me farther on
F#m A
Though the reasons I once had are gone
G A D
I keep thinking I'll find what I'm looking for
A G
In the sand beneath the dawn


D A F#
But the angels are older
Bm Bm/A G
They can see that the sun's setting fast
D A/C#
They look over my shoulder
Bm Bm/A E/G# A
At the vision of paradise contained in the light of the past
D A F#
And they lay down behind me
Bm Bm/A G
To sleep beside the road till the morning has come
D A/C#
Where they know they will find me
Bm Bm/A G
With my maps and my faith in the distance
A D G A
Moving farther on


|D A/C# |Bm Bm/A |G A |D ||
