Song For Adam chords by Jackson Browne

This is a beautiful song written adn sung by Jackson Browne in memory of one his friends
who died by suicide.
I just figured these out this morning, im not sure about the chords in the chorus but they
seem to sound ok.

       Em         G                C9
Though Adam was a friend of mine I did not know
Em
him well
       G              C9
He was alone into his distance he was deep inside
    Em
his well
        G                 Em
I could guess what he was thinking but I
                C9
couldn't really tell
        C9      G        Em   G          C9
Now the stories say that Adam jumped but I'm
                 Em
thinking that he fell

  Em             G            C9
Together we went traveling as we recieved the
Em
call
    G           C9                       Em
His destination India, and I had none at all
       G              Em
Well I still remember laughing with our backs
            C9
against the wall
   C9      G       Em                 C9
So free of fear we never thought that one of us
      Em D
might fall

  G             C9   Bm
I sit before my only candle
        C9                         Em
But its so little light to find my way
        C9            Em        G
NOw the story unfolds before my candle
         Bm                       G
Which is shorter every hour as it reaches for
D
teh day
       Em                 C9          G
Well I feel just like the candle in a way
  Em            C9                  G D     Em
I guess Ill get there but I wouldnt say for sure



Every verse and chorus is the same chords, the words are just different.
Here are the words if you want to sing along:


When we parted we were laughing still as our goodbyes were said
ANd I never heard from him again as each our lives we lead
Except for once in someone else's letter I read
UNtil I heard the sudden word that a friend of mine was dead

I sit before my only candle
LIke a pilgrim sits beside the way
NOw this journey appears before my candle
As a song thats getting fainter the harder I play
NOw I fear before I am Ill fade away
I guess Ill get tehre but I wouldnt say for sure

Though Adam was a friend of mine I did not know him long
And when I stood myslef beside him I never thought I was that strong
Still it seems he stopped his singing in the middle of his song
Now Im not the one to say I know but Im hoping I was wrong

Im holding out my only candle
Though its so little light to find  my way
NOw this story's belayed beneath my candle
And its shorter every hour as it reaches for the day
Yes I feel just like the candle in a way
I hope Ill get there but Ill never pray
