Gordon Lightfoot - Thank You For The Promises


CAPO: 3rd Fret


INTRO:: Am7Am7  G/AG/A

VERSE 1::
A minorAm              G+G
Thank you for the promises we make
         DmDm           A minorAm
I know I can't complain, I think I did alright
          E MajorE          FF
No failures are in sight, only now and then
           E MajorE           A minorAm D/F#D/F# E MajorE
I'd like to reminisce, do you remember when

VERSE 2::
A minorAm               G+G
Even if we're angels, we can't ask
           DmDm           A minorAm
To wander through the past, the future is our goal
           E MajorE            FF
The night is black as coal, if I could pay the price
             E MajorE           A minorAm
I'd like to love you once, I'd love to love you twice


CHORUS::
            C majorC
Thanks, we cannot say enough
           D MajorD
The road is sometimes rough
        A minorAm
But we can get along
          C majorC            D MajorD
The going will get tough, but we won't be afraid
          E MajorE  E-Cadd9-E7
Of the promises we made


VERSE 3::
A minorAm               G+G
Thank you for the promises you keep
        DmDm           A minorAm
When I am fast asleep, to be where we belong
           E MajorE          FF
Is all that I can ask, we can do it in the shade
         E MajorE              A minorAm  G/AG/A
As long as I have you and the promises we made

VERSE 4::
A minorAm              G+G
Thank you for the promises we break
          DmDm               A minorAm
You made a clean mistake, well that's what love's about
           E MajorE              FF
No need to stand and shout, the truth is in your eyes
          E MajorE            A minorAm
The answer lies within, no need to criticize


CHORUS::
              C majorC
Thanks, for the promises at hand
            D MajorD
The abuse that we must stand
        A minorAm
Is often heaven sent
           C majorC           D MajorD
They may not pay the rent, you never can be sure
         E MajorE  E-Cadd9-E7
When promises get bent


VERSE 5::
A minorAm               G+G
Thank you for the promises that live
            DmDm         A minorAm
That is all that I can give, forever in my mind
          E MajorE            FF
To leave the past behind and seal it with a kiss
       E MajorE             A minorAm   G/AG/A  A minorAm
