Paper Chase chords by Art Garfunkel

THE PAPER CHASE “ Jimmy Webb (Art Garfunkel version)


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

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

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






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