Browne Jackson – Song For Adam tab

[Intro]
Am  F    C   F   C  G  Am

[Verse 1]
Am                C                F
Though Adam was a friend of mine, I did not know him well
         C    C/B      Am     G        F
He was alone into his distance, He was deep into his well
         C     C/B           Am     G      F
I could guess what he was laughing at, But I couldn't really tell
          Am     G         Am     G             F                Am
Now the story's told that Adam jumped, But I'm thinking that he fell

[Verse 2]
Am                C             F
Together we went travelling, as we received the call
      C    C/B    Am     G    F
His destination India, and I had none at all
         C     C/B       Am     G      F
Well I still remember laughing, with our backs against the wall
     Am     G         Am     G     F                    Am  G
So free of fear we never thought, that one of us might fall

[Chorus 1]
F                      C              F                          C
I sit before my only candle, but it's so little light to find my way
           F                       Am
Now this story unfolds before my candle
           C                        G
Which is shorter every hour as it reaches for the day
        Am                          G
Well I feel just like a candle in a way
                   F                   C   G   F   C     F  C  G
I guess I'll get there but I wouldn't say__  for sure

[Verse 3]
       Am                C             F
When we parted we were laughing still, as our goodbyes were said
        C    C/B       Am   G    F
And I never heard from him again, as each our lives we led
           C   C/B    Am     G    F
except for once in someone else's letter that I read
  Am     G         Am     G     F                        Am  G
Until I head the sudden word, that a friend of mine was dead

[Chorus 2]
F                      C              F                      C
I sit before my only candle, like a pilgrim sits beside the way
           F                       Am
Now this journey appears before my candle
       C                              G
as a song that's growing fainter, the harder I play
        Am                          G
well I fear before I am I'll fade away
                      F                         C   G   F   C     F  C  G
But I guess I'll get there, though I wouldn't say___  for sure
 
[Verse 4]
Am                C               F
Though Adam was a friend of mine, I did not know him long
          C   C/B     Am       G        F
And when I stood myself beside him, I never thought I was as strong
          C      C/B      Am      G       F
still it seemed he stopped his singing in the middle of his song
      Am          G      Am     G     F                    Am  G
well I'm not the one to say I know but I'm hoping he was wrong

[Chorus 3]
F                        C                  F                          C
I'm holding out my only candle, though it's so little light to find my way
           F                           Am
now this story's been layed beneath my candle
           C                        G
and it's shorter every hour as it reaches for the day
        Am                          G
yes I feel just like a candle in a way
                   F                   C   G   F   C     F  C  G
I hope I'll get there but I'll never pray

[Outro]
Am  Am
