Gordon Lightfoot

One of the most inventive songwriters of all time in his genre, which means: surprisingly complex verse forms, frequently with irregular line lengths; a predilection for simple, step-wise bass lines, which may however go in surprising and varied directions; and, of course, gorgeous melodies.

Shadows

          C/e            
Won't you reach out, love, and touch me,
       G
Let me hold you for a while?
       Am             /g
I been all around the world
          D7/f#            F6
Oh, how I long to see you smile
          C/e
There's a shadow on the moon,
        G
and the waters here below
       Am/e
do not shine the way they should
      F
And I love you just in case you didn't know
       C    /b
Let it go

Early Mornin' Rain

                     G                        C
In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand
                    Dm           G               C
And an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sand
                    Dm         G                C
I'm a long way from home and I miss my love one so
                     G                    C
In the early morning rain with nowhere to go.

G  C

Out on runway number nine big 707 set to go
I'm stuck here on the ground where the cold winds blow
