Emmylou Harris - A Ways To Go
---->(Capo 1st fret)<-----
(verse 1)
C G
I hear the clock a tickin, See the sweat upon my brow,
C G
I know my destination, nothing's gonna stop me now,
C G
I'm running on desire, baby I've got nerves of steel,
C G
Coming down to the wire, Lord above me guide the wheel,
(chorus)
G F C
Keep me in your prayers tonight,
G F C
I'll be weary upon that road,
G F C
I know the finish line's in sight
G F C G C G
But I still have a ways to go,
(verse 2)
C G
There's a junkyard dog a barkin, in the valley down below,
C G
He's wanting me to stop and, gather up a heavy load,
C G
Ain't gonna heed his call, ain't givin him the time of day,
C G
You mangy mutt once and for all, I said I threw that stuff away,
(chorus)
G F C
Keep me in your prayers tonight,
G F C
I'll be weary upon that road,
G F C
I know the finish line's in sight,
G F C G C G
But I still have a ways to go,
A# C
I won't have a bit of trouble,
A# C
Heading down the straight and true,
A# C
I'll fly solo on the double,
D# F C G C G
Into the yonder blue,
(verse 3)
C G
I might need some intervention, Out upon the icy turn
C G
In a foggy situation, Squealin on a hairpin curve,
C G
I'm running on desire, Baby I've got nerves of steel,
C G
Coming down to the wire, Lord above me guide the wheel,
(chorus)
G F C
Keep me in your prayers tonight,
G F C
I'll be weary upon that road,
G F C
I know the finish line's in sight,
G F
But I still have a ways,
G F C
Keep me in your prayers tonight,
G F C
I'll be weary upon that road,
G F C
I know the finish line's in sight,
G F C G C G
But I still have a ways to go,
C G C G C G C
Got a ways to go got a ways to go,
