Jackson Browne

Tune Down 1/2 Step



Verse I:

    G                            C

I'm sitting down by the highway

                         G  C  G

Down by that highway side.

C   

Everybody's going somewhere

                                  G  C  G

Riding just as fast as they can ride.

D

I guess they've got a lot to do

Em                   C             C     D

Before they can rest assured their lives

              C

Are justified.

                   G

Pray to God for me, Baby

C                    G  D

He can let me slide.



Verse II:

                G                         C

Cause I've been up and down this highway

                     G  C  G

Far as my eyes can see.

C

No matter how fast I run

                                   G  C  G

I can never seem to get away from me.

D

No matter where I am

Em             C                G

I can't help feeling I'm just a day away

     D                 C

From where I want to be.

                  G         C

Now, I'm running home, Baby

                     G   D

Like a river to the sea.



Refrain:

                 G

Baby, if you can see me

                C

Out across this wilderness

             G

There's just one thing

      D

I was hoping you might guess.

              Em

Baby, you can free me

  D                     C/D          G    D

All in the power of your sweet tenderness.



Yeah,  yeah!!



Chorus:

      G

I can see it in your eyes

C                             G    C  G

You've got those bright, baby blues.

C

You don't see what you've got to gain

                       G  C  G

But you don't like to lose.

D

You watch yourself from the sidelines

Em                   C                   G

Like your life was a game you don't mind playing

   D               C

To keep yourself amused.

                    G

I don't mean to be cruel, Baby

C                     G     D

But you're looking confused.



Refrain II:



Baby, if you can hear me



Turn down your radio.



There's just one thing



I want you to know.



When you've been near me



I felt the love stirring in my soul



Yeah, Yeah!! Yes I have!!



Break:



G  C  G C G  C   G C G  D  Em C G D  C

G  C  G  D



Verse III:

        G              C                  G   C  G

It's so hard to come by that feeling of peace.



(spoken) This friend of mine said

                                 G  C  G

"Close your eyes, try a few of these."

D

I thought I was flying like a bird

Em

So far above my sorrow

           G

But when I looked down

      D               C

I was standing on my knees.

                       G       C

Now, I need someone to help me

                    G      D

Someone to help me, please.



Final Refrain:

             G

Baby, if you need me

       C

Like I know I need you.

             G

There's just one thing

     D

I'll ask you to do

                 Em

Take my hand and lead me

       D            C           C/D

To the hole in your garden wall

            G       C  G

And pull me through.

C        G

Pull me through....
