Gordon Lightfoot - Lifeline


CAPO: 4th Fret



INTRO:: C majorC  FF G+G FF G+G C majorC

VERSE 1::

I was in some timeless place
FF        G+G
Timeless face of my embrace
   FF       G+G
Held empty air and empty space
FF       G+G   C majorC
All on a sunny day

VERSE 2::

She lived by the bounding main
  FF      G+G
To Baltimore I took a plane
  FF        G+G
An east coast lady lit my flame
FF       G+G   C majorC FF C majorC
All on a sunny day


VERSE 3::

I was in some dreamless sleep
   FF        G+G
Where angels watch as lovers leap
FF          G+G
Some of them landed on their feet
FF          G+G   C majorC
Letting the lifeline stray


VERSE 4::

She was like the breath of spring
   FF        G+G
Where flowers grow and robins sing
FF          G+G
Keeping me from the pouring rain
FF         G+G  FF E minorEm G+G C majorC
All on a summer's day

CHORUS::
          FF
There's a lifeline that I know
    G+G         C majorC
And it holds me back and lets me go
  FF         G+G        C majorC
Whatever I do, I don't let my lifeline stray


INSTRUMENTAL:: C majorC  FF G+G FF G+G FF G+G C majorC FF C majorC


VERSE 5::

So it goes as lifetimes pass
   FF         G+G
From heart to mind and back again
  FF       G+G
My restlessness becomes a flame
FF          G+G   C majorC
Letting my lifeline show


VERSE 6::

She stood by the boundless tide
 FF        G+G
Afraid to ride, afraid to hide
FF           G+G
Letting her conscience be her guide
FF         G+G  C majorC FF C majorC
Needing a lifeline so


VERSE 7::

I was in some aimless state
   FF         G+G
Where lovers meet while angels wait
   FF         G+G
With gifts of time they hesitate
FF       G+G   C majorC FF C majorC
All on a sunny day


VERSE 8::

She lived by the bounding main
   FF      G+G
From Baltimore, I took a train
  FF        G+G
An east coast lady lit my flame
FF         G+G  FF E minorEm G+G C majorC
All on a summer's day


CHORUS::
          FF
There's a lifeline in my soul
    G+G         C majorC
And it holds me back and lets me go
FF        C majorC
I'm in love, so I've been told
FF          G+G   C majorC
Letting the lifeline stay


CHORUS::
           FF
I've got a heartline in the air
      G+G           C majorC
And if you listen for me, you'll find me there
  FF         G+G        C majorC
Whatever I do, I don't let my lifeline stray
