Gordon Lightfoot - Thank You For The Promises


CAPO: 3rd Fret



INTRO:: Am7  G/A

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

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


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


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


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


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


VERSE 5::
Am               G
Thank you for the promises that live
            Dm         Am
That is all that I can give, forever in my mind
          E            F
To leave the past behind and seal it with a kiss
       E             Am   G/A  Am
