Long Promised Road The Beach Boys
Long Promised Road (Carl Wilson/Jack Rieley, Surf's up)
------------------
[Cmaj7]So hard to answer [Em7]future's riddle
When a[Fmaj7]head is seeming [F6]so far be[Fmaj7]hind[F6]
[Cmaj7]So hard to laugh a [Em7]child-like giggle
When the [Fmaj7]tears start to [F6]torture my [Fmaj7]mind[F6]
[G]So hard to shed the [Dm7]life of before
To [F7]let my [F7/C]soul auto[F7]matically [F7/C]soar
But I [C]hit hard at the [F]battle that's con[F7]fronting me, yeah
[C]Knock down all the [F]roadblocks a-[F9]stumbling me
[C]Throw off all the [Dm7]shackles that are [F/D#]binding me [F9]down[F6/9] [F7] [F7/C]
[Cmaj7]Sew up the wounds of [Em7]evolution
And the [Fmaj7]now starts to [F6]get in my [Fmaj7]way[F6]
[Cmaj7]So what if life's a r[Em7]evelation
If the [Fmaj7]mind speaks of [F6]only to[Fmaj7]day[F6]
So [G]real, the pain of [Dm7]growing in soul
Of [F7]climbing [F7/C]up to re[F7]ality's [F7/C]goal
But I hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah
Knock down all the roaddblocks a-stumbling me
Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down
[F]Long promised road, [Dm7]trail starts at dawn
Carries [Em7]on to the season's [Am]ending[Asus] [Am] [Am9]
[F]Long promised road, [Dm7]flows to the source,
gentle [Em7]force, never [Am]ending,[Asus] never [Am]ending[Em7/B]
So [Cmaj7]hard to [Em7]lift the jeweled sceptre
When the [Fmaj7]weight turns a [F6]smile to a [Fmaj7]frown[F6]
So [Cmaj7]hard to [Em7]drink of passion nectar
When the [Fmaj7]taste of life's [F6]holding me [Fmaj7]down[F6]
So [G]hard to plant the [Dm7]seed of reform
To [F7]set my [F7/C]sights on de[F7]feating the [F7/C]storm
So I hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah
Knock down all the roadblocks a-stumbling me
Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down
Am G6 Em7 F (c h)
[Am] [G6] [F] [F] [F7] [F6]
[C]Hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah
Knock down all the roadblocks a-stumbling me
Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down
Oh, yeah-eah-eah-eah
Hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah
Knock down all the roadblocks a-stumbling me
Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down
[F7]I'd love to see you
[C]I'd love to see you
[F]I'd love to see you
[C]I'd love to see you
[F]I'd love to see you
[C]I'd love to see you
