Hi folks,

I'm hoping someone will post the chords to Garnet's song "Threshold" from his latest album "Sparrow's Wing". It's a beautiful tune...just Garnet and his guitar. (This song alone is worth the cost of the CD.) Here are the first two verses.

Thanks,

Dan

Threshold (Garnet Rogers)

First warm day of spring in last year's sneakers

how they felt upon his feet so light and cool.

Playing in the shade beneath the bleachers

waiting, praying for the end of school

He remembers how the field would smell at twilight

When the clover hay was sweet and freshly mown

Breathing in the perfume and the mystery

All those years ago before the boy was grown

An Attempt

G                                                        C            G
First warm day of spring in last year's sneakers
G/F#                Em                                Am   D
 How they felt upon his feet so light and cool.
C                                                G
 Playing in the shade beneath the bleachers
Am                                          D
 waiting, praying for the end of school

And the chorus goes
             C                                            G
He was standing on the threashold of a mystery
Am                                    C      D
Waiting for his whole life to begin
        C                                                G
The world was out there with it's motor running
Am
He had but to find the door
D
And climb on in
                G
Climb on in....

And that last "G" chord takes you back into the verse structure...
