Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Into the West (from Tim O'Brien)
Here are the chords I use (minus some melody lines)
Into the West
Like [C#m7] wild geese, we [Dsus2]all have flown Those [Asus2]ancient lands we [Ab7sus4]once called [Ab7]home; [C#m7]So many mothers' only [Dsus2]sons, [Asus2]So many lovers' [Ab7sus2]only [Ab7]ones. [C#m7]Gone away like [Dsus2]all the rest To [Asus2]find our fortunes [Ab7sus2]in the [Ab7]west [Ab7sus2] [Ab7]
|[E]...[B/A]|[E/G#]...[C#m]|[E]...[Bsus4] |[B]…|
[B]Still the fire will [Abm]always burn The [Cm7]voice in the heart that [B7sus4]cries [B7]return [B]Those emerald hills so [Abm]far away Will [C#m]haunt us back [B7sus4]again some [B7]day [B7sus4] [B7]
[E]The rivers [A]long the [E]waters [C#m]wide [F#m]The west begins on the [B7sus4]other [B7]side [E]Put a skip in your [A]step now [E]Dry a tear from your [C#m]eye [F#m]Turn around and [B7sus4]wave good[B7]bye [E]Brave the [A]currents of [E]time and [C#m]tide [F#m]Till you're safe on the [B7sus4]other [B7]side [E]Its a wild [A]dream that [E]never [C#m]ends [F#m]Calls us all in[B7sus4]to the [B7]West [B7sus4] [B7]
|[E][A]|[E][A]|[E][A]|[E] |
What takes us into mystery We leave behind the history Like every sun that rose at dawn Into the west we all have gone
Still the fire will always burn The voice in the heart that cries return Those emerald hills so far away Will haunt us back again some day
The rivers long the waters wide The west begins on the other side Put a skip in your step now Dry a tear from your eye Turn around and wave goodbye Brave the currents of time and tide Til' you're safe on the other side Its a wild dream that never ends Calls us all into the west
Note: I think Tim O'Brien uses and open tuning, so this is an approximation.
