Notes about this song:

  • I took the chords from Broken Arrow #59.
  • Those 'open' chords seemed to be quite strange at first try, but they grow on me.
  • David M and I have worked on this song, and finally agreed to the following.
  • We've checked the suggestions in Broken Arrow #59, but we think our version is more appropriate.
  • The song is played in the dropped-D tuning (DADGBE).

G(1) G                               Am7            
     The lonely man I made myself to be             
         A-open                           C     D   
     Is not as bad as some things I have seen.      
          G                             Am7         
     The picture painted here is not a dream        
         A-open                    C      D         
     The only reality the way it seems.             
                                                    
         D-open                                     
     The happier you fly The sadder you fall        
     B-open                   C-open                
     The laughter in your eyes Is never all.        
     G                                Am7           
     Give me strength to move along.                
     A-open                             C     D     
     Give me strength to realize she's gone         
                                                    
     G                                     Am7      
     I'm riding down swept road in my old car       
         A-open                          C    D     
     The moon is almost full except for star shine  
          G                           Am7           
     The party ended long before the night          
         A-open                             C      D
     She made me feel alive and that's all right.   
                                                    
         D-open                                     
     The happier you fly The sadder you fall        
     B-open                   C-open                
     The laughter in your eyes Is never all.        
     G                                Am7           
     Give me strength to move along.                
     A-open                             C      D(1) 
     Give me strength to realize she's gone         
                                                    
     G      Am7                                     
     A-open    C   D

     D-open                                         
     The happier you fly The sadder you fall        
     B-open                   C-open                
     The laughter in your eyes Is never all.        
     G                                Am7
     Give me strength to move along.     
     G                                Am7
     Give me strength to move along.     
     G                                Am7
     Give me strength to move along.
