"Pilgrim´s Progress"
(D) G Hm Em /D
I sat me down to write a simple story /
C G/H Am7 /G
Which maybe in the end became a song //
D/F# Dm/F C/E Ebdim
In trying to find the words which might begin it
Em Am C D
I found these were the thoughts I'd brought along ////
G Hm Em /D
At first I took my weight to be an anchor /
C G/H Am7 /G
I gathered up my fears to ride me round //
D/F# Dm/F C/E Ebdim
But then I clearly saw my own delusion
Em Am C D
And found my struggles further brought me down ////
G Hm Em /D
In starting out I thought to go exploring /
C G/H Am7 /G
And set my foot upon the nearest road //
D/F# Dm/F C/E Ebdim
In vain I looked to find the promised turning
Em Am C D CG
But only saw how far I was from home / /

D D/C G/H C G/H C G/H
In searching I forsook the paths of learning / /
D D/C G/H C G/H C G/H
And sought instead to find some pirate's gold / /
D D/C G/H C G/H C G/H
In fighting I did hurt those dearest to me / /
C G/H Am7 Am7/G
Still no hidden truths could I unfold / /

I sat me down to write a simple story /

Which maybe in the end became a song //
D/F# Dm/F C/E Ebdim
The words have all been read by one before me
Em Am C D
We're taking turns in trying to pass them on /
H7/D# Em Am7 Am7/D G
Oh, we're taking turns in trying to pass them on (break)
