For Everyman chords by Jackson Browne

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: EADGBE

Verse 1:
D MajorD       G+G          D MajorD
Everybody I talk to is ready to leave
D MajorD             G+G
With the light of the morning
 D MajorD              G+G           D MajorD
They’ve seen the end coming down long enough to believe
                G+G
That they’ve heard their last warning
      F#m7F#m7
Standing alone
       B7B7      E minorEm   A7A7
Each has his own ticket in his hand
G+G            A augmentedA
And as the evening descends
              G+G  D MajorD
I sit thinking ’bout everyman

Verse 2:
D MajorD               G+G           D MajorD
Seems like I’ve always been looking for some other place
      G+G
To get it together
D MajorD            G+G             D MajorD
Where with a few of my friends I could give up the race
             G+G
And maybe find something better
         F#m7F#m7
But all my fine dreams
         B7B7           E minorEm   A7A7
Well though out schemes to gain the motherland
G+G            A augmentedA          G+G     D MajorD
Have all eventually come down to waiting for everyman

Chorus:
Asus4Asus4          A augmentedA
Waiting here for everyman
D MajorD              G+G
Make it on your own if you think you can
Asus4Asus4      A augmentedA     D MajorD   G+G
If you see somewhere to go I understand
Asus4Asus4         A augmentedA
Waiting here for everyman
D MajorD            G+G     A augmentedA    D MajorD
Don’t ask me if he’ll show -- baby I don’t know

Bridge:
B minorBm             G+G
Make it on your own if you think you can
B minorBm                  E MajorE
Somewhere later on you’ll have to take a stand
Asus4Asus4             A augmentedA
Then you’re going to need a hand

Verse 3:
D MajorD        G+G             D MajorD
Everybody's just waiting to hear from the one
           G+G
Who can give them the answers
D MajorD             G+G
And lead them back to that place
           D MajorD
In the warmth of the sun
              G+G
Where sweet childhood still dances
       F#m7F#m7
Who'll come along
          B7B7
And hold out that strong
        E minorEm    A7A7
That gentle father's hand
G+G         A augmentedA
Long ago I heard someone say
        G+G     D MajorD
Something 'bout Everyman

Chorus:
Asus4Asus4       A augmentedA
Waiting here for Everyman
D MajorD
Make it on your own
         G+G
Make it if you think you can
Asus4Asus4     A augmentedA      D MajorD   G+G
If you see somewhere to go I understand

Outro:
 B minorBm
I'm not trying to tell you
     G+G
That I've seen the plan
 B minorBm          E MajorE
Turn and walk away if you think I am
 G+G         A augmentedA
But don't think too badly
          B minorBm     D MajorD
Of one who's left holding sand
 G+G         A7A7
He's just another dreamer
        G+G     D MajorD
