Found on the net--

TILL I GAIN CONTROL AGAIN
Recorded By: Emmylou Harris
Recorded By: Rodney Crowell

[Bb] Just like the [F] sun over the [Bb] mountain top
[Eb] You know I'll always come a-[Bb] gain
[Eb] You know I love to spend my [Bb] morning time
[F] Like sunlight dancing on your [Bb] skin

[Bb] I've never gone so [F] wrong as to telling [Bb] lies to you
[Eb] What you've seen is what I've [Bb] been
[Eb] There is nothing I could [Bb] hide from you
[F] You see me better than I [Bb] can

CHORUS
[Eb] Out on the road that lies [Bb] before me now
[Eb] There are some turns where I will [Bb] spin
[Eb] I only hope that you can [Bb] hold me now
[F] Till I can gain control a-[Bb] gain

[Bb] Like a [F] lighthouse you must [Bb] stand alone
[Eb] Landmark the sailor's journey's [Bb] end
[Eb] No matter what sea I've have been [Bb] sailing on
[F] I'll always roll this way a-[Bb] gain

CHORUS

When Guest James gains control, maybe he can learn the word "Please"?

Two other versions of this, one probably better than Emmyloo's version (sorry lads)

Willie from his Greatest Hits (and some that will be)
and Bobby Bear from. . (I can't remember the name of the LP !)

Check out Willie's version . . .

Sorry Paddy, but there is nothing better than Emmylou's version of any song anywhere, any time. It's a kind of basic axiom, (like parallel lines never meeting)

Gotta agree with Murray. I've heard Willie's version and it is good, like everything Willie does. BUT, Emmylou's is The Definitive version. She has a way of making a song totally her own. This is one of my all time favorites by Emmylou.

I have been singing this song for years after I learned it from the Rodney Crowell album.When I heard Emmylou's version,it sent chills down my spine and made all my hair stand on end.

I have to agree that hers is the definitive version.
