Thoroughfare Gap
by Stephen Stills
(Intro: G C G D G C G D)
Someti[G]mes I Consider My Pac[C]e[G]
I'm Reminded[D] Of A Train Gatherin[G]g Speed[C]
For The Climb [G]To The Pass[D]
In Whose Shadow I[G]t All Really Lies[C]
A Sm[G]all Metal Wagon Ap[D]proaching[G]
The Eve[C]r Present Ascending R[G]ise[D]
To The Southern Mountains[G] [C] [G] [D]
[G]Reeling And Snaking [C]And Leaping[G]
It S[D]eems Like It Wants To[G] Come Loose[C]
>From Its Path [G]Cast In Iron[D]
But She Can't [G]Slow Down Now[C]
As The Earth[G] Has Presented[D]
A New[G] Crest To Reach[C]
Without Barely [G]A Rest[D]
>From The Last One[G] [C] [G] [D]
And You Wonder J[G]ust What Lies Beyond[C] [G]
Though You've Been There B[D]efore[G]
And Forget Ab[C]out The Effort And The [G]Strain[D]
[G]Always Ascending[C]
Each Yard[G] Adds A Mile[D]
To The Never-[G]ending Pull[C]
Of The Steep[G]ening Grade[D]
That's Before Yo[G]u[C] [G] [D] [G] [C] [G] [D]
A Val[G]ley, A Forest[C], A Desert, A S[G]tream[D]
With An Oversize[G]d Bridge[C]
For The Trickl[G]e There Beneath[D]
You Remember [G]The Torrent[C]
It Tu[G]rned To Last Spring[D]
>From The Snows M[G]elting Fast[C]
And The River I[G]t Became[D]
In The Summ[G]er[C] [G] [D]
Perh[G]aps It Is Ruined[C]
>From A Fire Th[G]at Has Scorched It[D]
So Bad[G]ly That Nothing[C]
Will Gro[G]w Without Rain[D]
To Was[G]h Away The Blackened Soil[C]
Now Usele[G]ss Till Called Upo[D]n Again[G]
In A Futu[C]re As Twisted An[G]d Far Away[D]
As The Next Range Of Mou[G]ntains[C] [G] [D]
So Tak[G]e It As Far As[C] You See[G]
And Beyond[D]
[G]With Eyes You Don't Use Enough[C]
[G]Gather Up Streng[D]th
As Tho[G]roughfare Gap[C]
Will Await [G]You Forever[D]
[G]You're Seeking To Get There[C]
[G]For Even Befor[D]e
It's No Matte[C]r
[D]No Distance
[G]It's The Ride[C] [G] [Gsus4] [G]
