The Promise Tracy Chapman
I haven't yet had the time to write down how it is picked,
but you can figure it out by ear without much trouble.
capo on 4th fret
INTRO: A Amaj7/Ab Dmaj9 (repeat)
VERSE:
[A]If [Amaj7/Ab]you wait f[Dmaj9]or me[A/E]
Then I'll come for you
Al[C#m]though I've [Dmaj7]travelled fa[E]r
C#m Dmaj7 D E7 A -- repeat intro chords twice
I always hold a place for you in my heart
(repeat verse chords)
If you think of me
If you miss me once in a while
Then I'll return to you
I'll return and fill that space in your heart
CHORUS:
[A]Rem[E]emberin[F#m]g your [Dmaj7]touch, your [E]kiss, your [A]warm [E]em[F#m]brace,
I'll [Dmaj7]find my [E]way [A]back [E]to [F#m]you
Dmaj7 E E7 A -- repeat intro as before
If you'd be waiting
VERSE:
If you dream of me
Like I dream of you
In a place that's warm and dark
In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart
Oh I've longed for you
And I have desired
To see your face, your smile
To be with you wherever you are
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE:
I've longed for you
And I have desired
To see your face your smile
To be with you wherever you are
LAST CHORUS:
Remembering your touch, your kiss, your warm embrace,
I'll find my way back to you
Please say you'll be waiting
FINALE:
[F#m]Together a[Dmaj7]gain, [E] it would [A]feel so [E]good to [F#m]be
In your[Dmaj7] arms [E] Where [A]all my [E]journeys [F#m]end
If you can make a p[Dmaj7]romise [E] If it's [A]one that [E]you can [F#m]keep
I [Dmaj7]vow to come for[E] you If [A]you [E7]wait for [A]me[Amaj7/Ab] [Dmaj9] [A/E] [E]
And [C#m]say y[E]ou'll [Dmaj9]hold
A [D]place for [E]me in your [A]heart
