Race Among the Ruins Gordon Lightfoot
Intro
A A D G, D A G-F, Dx4:
[V1]
You [D]think you had the [D]last laugh now
you [G]know this can't be [D]true
Even though the [A]sun shines down [A]upon you
Some[G]times you must feel [D]blue [wait 2, 3, 4]
You [D]make the best of [D]each new day
You [G]try not to be [D]sad
Even though the [A]sky falls down u[A]pon you
Call it [G]midnight feelin' [D]bad
[CBORUS]
When you [A]wake up to the [A/G]promise
Of your [D/F#]dream world comin' [G]true
With [D]one less friend to [A]call on
Was it [G]someone that I [D]knew.....
A[A]way you will go [A/G]sailin'
In a [D/F#]race among the [G]ruins
D A G ... F ... D
If you plan to face tomorrow Do it soon
[V2]
The [D]road to love is [D]littered
By the [G]bones of other [D]ones
Who by the [A]magic of the [A]moment
Were [G]mysteriously [D]undone
You [D]try to under[D]stand it
But you [G]never seem to [D]find
Any kind of [A]freedom comin' [A]clean
Is just a[G]nother state of [D]mind
[CBORUS]
When you [A]wake up to the [A/G]promise
Of your [D/F#]dream world comin' [G]true
With [D]one less friend to [A]call on
Was it [G]someone that I [D]knew.....
A[A]way you will go [A/G]sailin'
In a [D/F#]race among the [G]ruins
D A G ... F ... D
If you plan to face tomorrow Do it soon
[V3]
So take the [D]best of [D]all that's left
You [G]know this cannot [D]last
Even though your [A]mother was you [A]maker
From her [G]apron strings you've [D]passed.
Just [D]think about the [D]fool
Who by his [G]virtue can be [D]found
In a most [A]unusual [A]situation
Playin' [G]jester to the [D]clown
[CBORUS x 2]
When you [A]wake up to the [A/G]promise
Of your [D/F#]dream world comin' [G]true
With [D]one less friend to [A]call on
Was it [G]someone that I [D]knew.....
A[A]way you will go [A/G]sailin'
In a [D/F#]race among the [G]ruins
D A G ... F ... D
If you plan to face tomorrow Do it soon
When you [A]wake up to the [A/G]promise
Of your [D/F#]dream world comin' [G]true
