take a giant step Taj Mahal







From:Â HarlanÂ LÂ ThompsonÂ 

TAKEÂ AÂ GIANTÂ STEP-Â written by Carole King & Gerry Goffin

DropÂ EÂ downÂ toÂ DÂ (DADGBE)

Â Â Â Â D
ThoughÂ youÂ failedÂ atÂ loveÂ andÂ lost
Â Â Â Â Â D/C
AndÂ sorrow'sÂ turnedÂ yourÂ heartÂ toÂ frost
D/BÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â D
IÂ willÂ mendÂ yourÂ heartÂ again
RememberÂ theÂ feelingÂ asÂ aÂ child
WhenÂ youÂ wokeÂ upÂ andÂ morningÂ smiled
ItsÂ timeÂ itsÂ timeÂ itsÂ timeÂ youÂ feltÂ likeÂ thatÂ again

CHORUS:
Â Â DÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â CÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â DÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â C
ThereÂ isÂ justÂ noÂ percentageÂ inÂ rememberingÂ theÂ past
Â Â Â Â Â Â DÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â CÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â GÂ Â Â B
ItsÂ timeÂ youÂ learnedÂ toÂ liveÂ againÂ andÂ loveÂ atÂ last
Â Â Â GÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â D
ComeÂ withÂ meÂ leaveÂ yourÂ yesterdayÂ yourÂ yesterdayÂ behind
Â Â Â Â Â Â GÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â D
AndÂ takeÂ aÂ giantÂ stepÂ outsideÂ yourÂ mind

YouÂ stareÂ atÂ meÂ withÂ disbelief
YouÂ sayÂ forÂ youÂ there'sÂ noÂ relief
ButÂ girlÂ IÂ swearÂ itÂ won'tÂ doÂ youÂ noÂ harm
Don'tÂ sitÂ thereÂ inÂ yourÂ lonelyÂ room
JustÂ lookingÂ backÂ insideÂ thatÂ gloom
MamaÂ that'sÂ notÂ wereÂ youÂ belong

ComeÂ withÂ meÂ I'llÂ takeÂ youÂ whereÂ theÂ tasteÂ ofÂ lifeÂ isÂ green
N'Â EverydayÂ everydayÂ holdÂ onÂ womanÂ justÂ gotÂ toÂ beÂ seen
ComeÂ withÂ meÂ leaveÂ yourÂ yesterdayÂ yourÂ yesterdayÂ behind
AndÂ takeÂ aÂ giantÂ stepÂ outsideÂ yourÂ mind

FIRSTÂ VERSE,Â CHORUS


NOTE:Â ThisÂ songÂ reallyÂ needsÂ twoÂ guitarsÂ toÂ giveÂ itÂ justice,Â butÂ I'veÂ 
workedÂ itÂ outÂ hereÂ forÂ one.Â Â 
ForÂ theÂ verseÂ chords,Â thereÂ isÂ aÂ littleÂ riffÂ toÂ playÂ onÂ each,Â onÂ 
theÂ firstÂ string.Â Â SomethingÂ likeÂ this:

TAKE A GIANT STEP- written by Carole King & Gerry Goffin

Drop E down to D (DADGBE)

D
Though you failed at love and lost
     D/C
And sorrow's turned your heart to frost
D/B                      D
I will mend your heart again
Remember the feeling as a child
When you woke up and morning smiled
Its time its time its time you felt like that again

CHORUS:
  D                  C            D             C
There is just no percentage in remembering the past
      D                   C                   G   B
Its time you learned to live again and love at last
   G                                                D
Come with me leave your yesterday your yesterday behind
      G                             D
And take a giant step outside your mind

You stare at me with disbelief
You say for you there's no relief
But girl I swear it won't do you no harm
Don't sit there in your lonely room
Just looking back inside that gloom
Mama that's not were you belong
