The Fading chords by Joan Shelley

Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro: A (x4 bars)

Verse 1:
           D  A
A spring remembered
             D
The taste of gin
   D      A       E      A
An eyelet light upon our skin
             D   A
Your form it lingers
             D
I trace just where you've been
     D        A         E    A
The?songs we sang I'll sing again
🎸

     D         E
When it breaks down
   D          E
Oh babe let's try
           F#m       D       A
To see the beauty in all the fading

Verse 2:
          D A
I saw the river
          D
Thick with mud
D     A           E         A
Break through the banks and run
                D     A
And I confess I liked it
              D
I cheered the flood
         D     A       E         A
When the water hit the walls and won


     D         E
When it breaks down
   D          E
Oh babe let's try
           F#m       D       A
To see the beauty in all the fading

Bridge:
       D
Hmm-mm-mmm
       A
Hmm-mm-mmm

Verse 3:
              D  A
The roads are endless
             D
They seem to grow
D          A     E         A
Vines that wind around the world
             D    A
And though I hate it
            D
To leave my home
  D         A          E       A
I love that car when I need to go


     D         E
When it breaks down
   D          E
Oh babe let's try
           F#m       D       A
To see the beauty in all the fading

Bridge:
       D
Hmm-mm-mmm
       A
Hmm-mm-mmm

Verse 4:
          D  A
And O, Kentucky
            D
Stays in my mind
     D        A       E     A
It's sweet to be five years behind
             D    A
That's where I'll be
              D
When the seas rise
           D    A           E        A
Holding my dear friends and drinking wine


     D          E
When it breaks down
   D          E
Oh babe let's try
           F#m       D       A
To see the beauty in all the fading
        D      E
When it breaks down
         D          E
When the stakes get high
           F#m       D       A
To see the beauty in all the fading

Outro
       D           A  (x4)
Hmm-mm-mmm, hmm-mm-mmm
