Fading Away Gordon Lightfoot
CAPO: 4th Fret
[INTRO:] Am
[VERSE 1:]
I was at the breakwall, I was looking at the sea
In [D]back of an eight ball, [Am]in some misery
There on the horizon stood a mighty ship of fools
They were [D]headed into the harbour with [Am]all their broken rules
[CBORUS:]
Whenever I'm feeling [C]lonely, I can [D]just pick up the [Am]phone
Or I can go to the [C]movies or just [D]stay at home a[Am]lone
They're better off to be [C]someplace that's a [D]good long way from [Am]home[D]
Anyway I can't lose myself[C]
The dawn is breaking, I'm[D] hesitating, I'm [A] [G]
[D]Fading a[A]way[G]
[D]fading a[A]way [G] [D] [A]
[VERSE 2:]
They [Am]sailed right up to meet me, I said, "What's it all about
Please [D]try to excuse me, [Am]we can work things out
If you've ever wondered, if that mighty ship is real
Let me [D]tell ya 'bout it brother, it was [Am]something you could feel"
[CBORUS:]
Whenever I'm feeling [C]lonely, I let [D]twilight set the [Am]tone
Or I can go to the [C]movies or just [D]stay at home a[Am]lone
They're better off to be [C]someplace that's a [D]good long way to [Am]roam
[D]Ain't living high on the hog right now [C]
The dawn is breaking, I'm[D] hesitating, I'm [A] [G]
[D]Fading a[A]way[G]
[D]fading a[A]way [G] [D]
[VERSE 3:]
One more [Am]day on the calendar in my mind
I am [D]down around the breakwall [Am]putting in some time
The whole ship of fools has gotten safely under way
And I was [D]proud to be a part of what it [Am]was they had to say
[CBORUS:]
Whenever I'm feeling [C]lonely, I can [D]just pick up the [Am]phone
Or I can go to the [C]movies or just [D]stay at home a[Am]lone
They're better off to be [C]someplace that's a [D]good long way from [Am]home[D]
Anyway I can't lose myself[C]
The dawn is breaking, I'm[D] hesitating, I'm [A] [G]
[D]Fading a[A]way[G]
[D]fading a[A]way [G] [D] [A]
[D]fading a[A]way [G] [D] [A]
[D]fading a[A]way [G] [D]
