Gordon Lightfoot - Fading Away


CAPO: 4th Fret


INTRO:: A minorAm

VERSE 1::

I was at the breakwall, I was looking at the sea
  D MajorD           A minorAm
In back of an eight ball, in some misery

There on the horizon stood a mighty ship of fools
     D MajorD              A minorAm
They were headed into the harbour with all their broken rules

CHORUS::
           C majorC       D MajorD        A minorAm
Whenever I'm feeling lonely, I can just pick up the phone
          C majorC       D MajorD       A minorAm
Or I can go to the movies or just stay at home alone
             C majorC         D MajorD         A minorAm  D MajorD
They're better off to be someplace that's a good long way from home
              C majorC
Anyway I can't lose myself
             D MajorD        A augmentedA  G+G
The dawn is breaking, I'm hesitating, I'm
D MajorD    A augmentedA   G+G
Fading away
D MajorD    A augmentedA  G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
fading away


VERSE 2::
   A minorAm
They sailed right up to meet me, I said, "What's it all about
    D MajorD         A minorAm
Please try to excuse me, we can work things out

If you've ever wondered, if that mighty ship is real
    D MajorD                A minorAm
Let me tell ya 'bout it brother, it was something you could feel"


CHORUS::
           C majorC       D MajorD        A minorAm
Whenever I'm feeling lonely, I let twilight set the tone
          C majorC       D MajorD       A minorAm
Or I can go to the movies or just stay at home alone
             C majorC         D MajorD        A minorAm
They're better off to be someplace that's a good long way to roam
D MajorD                    C majorC
Ain't living high on the hog right now
             D MajorD        A augmentedA  G+G
The dawn is breaking, I'm hesitating, I'm
D MajorD    A augmentedA   G+G
Fading away
D MajorD    A augmentedA  G+G D MajorD
fading away

VERSE 3::
     A minorAm
One more day on the calendar in my mind
   D MajorD             A minorAm
I am down around the breakwall putting in some time

The whole ship of fools has gotten safely under way
     D MajorD               A minorAm
And I was proud to be a part of what it was they had to say


CHORUS::
           C majorC       D MajorD        A minorAm
Whenever I'm feeling lonely, I can just pick up the phone
          C majorC       D MajorD       A minorAm
Or I can go to the movies or just stay at home alone
             C majorC         D MajorD         A minorAm  D MajorD
They're better off to be someplace that's a good long way from home
              C majorC
Anyway I can't lose myself
             D MajorD        A augmentedA  G+G
The dawn is breaking, I'm hesitating, I'm
D MajorD    A augmentedA   G+G
Fading away
D MajorD    A augmentedA  G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
fading away
D MajorD    A augmentedA  G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
fading away
D MajorD    A augmentedA  G+G D MajorD
