FURTHER TO FLY
Words & music by Paul Simon 1989
Note: This song is actually played in Ebm on the record, but these chords are easier to play on a guitar. Just tune the guitar half a tone down if you want to play along with the album. |
There may come a time
|
When you'll be tired
| | |
As tired as a dream that wants to die
| |
And further to fly
|Am7/E |
Further to fly
| |
Further to fly
|Am7/E | |
Further to fly
Em11#5 |
Maybe you will find a love
|
That you discover accidentally
|
Who falls against you gently
|
As a pickpocket
|Em7 |
Brushes your thigh
|Dm/F |E7 |
Further to fly
Am | |
Effortless music from the Cameroons
G | |
The spinning darkness of her hair
Am |B7 |E |E7
A conversation in a crowded room going nowhere
|Am |
The open palm of desire
|G
Wants everything
|
It wants everything
|Am |B7 |Em7 |A |Em7 |A |
It wants everything
Sometimes I'll be walking down
|
The street and I'll be thinking
Am I crazy
| | |
Or is this some morbid little lie
| |
Further to fly
|Am7/E |
Further to fly
| | |Am7/E | |
Further to fly
Em11#5 |
A recent loss of memory
|
A shadow in the family
| |
The baby waves bye-bye
|Em7 | Dm/F |E7 |
I'm trying, I'm fly -- ing
Am |
There may come a time
|G | |
When I will lose you
Am |B7 |
Lose you as I lose my light
E |E7 |
Days falling backward into velvet night
Am |
The open palm of desire
|G
Wants everything
|
It wants everything
|Am |B7
It wants soil as soft as summer
|Em7 |A |Em7 |A | | | | |
And the strength to push like spring
|
A broken laugh a broken fever
|
Take it up with the great deceiver
| |
Who looks you in the eye
| |
And says baby don't cry
|Dm/F |E7 |
Further to fly------
Am |
There may come a time
|G | |
When I will lose you
Am |B7 |
Lose you as I lose my sight
E |E7 |
Days falling backward into velvet night
Am | |
The open palm of desire
G | |
The Rose of Jericho
Am |B7 |
Soil as soft as summer
Em7 |A |Em7 |A |
The strength to let you go
Repeat and fade:
