for everyman (jackson browne: everyman)
this version is from the VH1 special. lyrics are different but not
to different. i have not heard to albumn version nly this version.
note: capital letters are CHORDS & lower case letters are NOTES
tunnig for this version is standard, but to Db not to E for
everybody i talk to is ready to leave with the light of the
morning that they've seen the end coming down long enough
to be_lieve that they heard their last warning
standing a_lone each has his own__
ticket for the in his hand
and as the evening decends i sit thinking about everyman
seems like i've always been looking for some other place to get
it together with a few of my friends i could
give up the race and maybe find something better
but all my fine dreams well thought out schemes to gain
the motherland have all eventually come down
to waiting for everyman waiting here for everyman
make it on your own if you think you can
if you see somehere to go i understand
waiting here for everyman don't ask if he'll show
i don't know
make it on your own if you think you can
somewhere later on you'll have to take a stand
then you're going to need a hand
everybody's just waiting to hear from the one who can
give them the answers and lead them back to that place
in the warmth of the sun where childhood still dances
who'll come a_long and hold out that strong and gentle
father's hand long ago i heard someone say something
about everyman waiting here for everyman
make it on your own if you think you can
if you see somewhere to go i understand
i'm not trying to tell that you i've seen the plan
turn and walk away if you think i am
but don't think to badly of one who's left holding
the sand he's just another deamer
dreaming about everyman
