Song:

4  47-6  -3”-87  -6  6   -5

I descended a dusty gravel ridge

-3” -5   -6  6 -6  6 -5   -4 4

Beneath the Bixby Canyon Bri-dge

-3” 7 -6 -4 -8 7 -6  6 -5

Until I eventually arrived

-5 -6    6     6    -6   6    4   -5

At the place where your soul had died

 

-5  -6   6  -6   6  4    -4

Barefoot in the shallow creek

-2”  -5     -6    6     -6   7 -6  6  -5

 I grabbed some stones from un-der-ne-ath

-2”  -5 6   -6  6  -6   6   4  -4

And waited for you to speak to me

 

4   4   7 -6   4   4 -8  7  -6 6  -5 

In the silence it became so very clear

-2”  -5  -6   6   6 -6 6  -5 -4  4

That you had long ago dis-ap-pe-ared

1  7    -6 -8   7  -6 -6   6  -5

I cursed myself for being surprised

 -5   6   -66    6    6  -6   6  -3’  4  -5

That this didn't play like it did in  my mind

 

-5   6 -6 6   -6   6    3 4 -4

All th-e way from San Francisco

-5 -6   6    -6   7  -6  6    -5

As  I chased the end of your road

  -5    -6    6   -6   6    4  -4

'Cause I've still got miles to go

 

 4  -6  6  -6  6   4   -4

And I want to know my fate

-5 6  -6  7   -6  6 -5

If I keep up this wa-y

 4   -6   6   -6  6   4   -4

But it's hard to want to stay

4 -6 5 4

A-w-a-ke

 

 -6   6 -6 6   4  -4

When everyone you meet

-3’  -6    6  -6  7 -6  6 -5

They all seem to be a-sle-ep

-3’ -6   6  6   6   -6    6  3   4 -5 -4

And you wonder if you're missing a dre-am

 3   -6   6 -5 -4  -4   6

You can't seeeeee   a dream (x2)

-3   -3   -6   6-66  -5-4-4  6-4

You just can't seeeeeeeeeeee  a dre-am

3 -3 4 -5

A dr-e-am (x2)

-2” -3 4 -5

 A dr-e-am (x7)

 

 4   7   -6  -8 7    -6 6   -5

And then it started getting dark

 4  4   -5     -6   6   6   -6   6  -5  -4  4

And I trudged back to where the car was pa-rked

4   7 -6  4 -8 7  -6  6   -5

No closer to any kind of truth

-5 6  6    6 6    6   -6   6   4   -5

As I must assume was the case with you
