THE PAPER CHASE – Jimmy Webb (Art Garfunkel version)


D MajorD       A augmentedA    G+G       D MajorD
You can't erase the Paper Chase
G+G           D MajorD
She'll make you play it
     G+G          A augmentedA
In the bright merry morning
D MajorD          A augmentedA
She'll run and hide
G+G              D MajorD
And leave you the paper promises
E minorEm        D MajorD       G+G       A augmentedA
Behind her as she runs across the square

D MajorD            A augmentedA    G+G        D MajorD
You can't win the race, She'll set the pace
G+G            D MajorD
You will hear her laughing
    G+G            A augmentedA
Just behind the foolish fences
D MajorD           A augmentedA      G+G
Throw back the gate and find the
       D MajorD    E minorEm       D MajorD
Piece of paper lying on the curbstone,
     G+G          A augmentedA
But the lady won't be there.

G+G        D MajorD
Later in the day,
G+G                 C majorC
You'll be searching for a way
FF                D MajorD
To let her know you're ready
G+G               C majorC
For her little game to end
FF                D MajorD
Cause it's getting dark, and then-





D MajorD         A augmentedA    G+G       D MajorD
You'll see her face, a glimpse of lace
G+G         D MajorD
And you'll go running
         G+G            A augmentedA
Through the last sweet dying daydream
D MajorD       A augmentedA     G+G               D MajorD
Calling her name, but she's been home an hour,
E minorEm          D MajorD
Laughing at the mirror
     G+G            A augmentedA
As she combs her paper hair.
