Subject: CRD: Emmylou Harris Can You Hear Me Now
Emmylou Harris Can You Hear Me Now written by Emmylou Harris
Malcolm Burn
Bb Eb
Oh the walls are closin´ in I can feel it in my bones
F
Like water risin´ up to my chin
Bb
Another long night to be alone
Bb
I could go out on the town
Eb
Talk too much and laugh too loud
F
If I´m already on my way down
Bb
I might as well just work the crowd
Eb Bb F
Can you hear me now can you hear me now
Eb Bb F Bb Bb Eb Bb Eb
Can you hear me now can you hear me now
Bb
Oh the stories I could tell
Eb
Sometimes I really hit my stride
F
We make our own heaven and our own hell
Bb
Tryin to get across to the other side
Bb
But everyday ends up the same
Eb
One step up two steps back
F
Like some old silent movie frame
Bb
Zoom in close then fade to black
Eb Bb F
Can you hear me now can you hear me now
Eb Bb F Bb
Can you hear me now can you hear me now
Bb Eb Bb Eb
Gm Eb
How did the load get to be so heavy
Bb Eb
I used to wear my troubie like a crown
Dm Eb
A bad flood's poundin' on the levee
Bb
And l'm gonna need some help
F
To hold my ground
SOLO
Bb
But I'm sinkin' like a stone
Eb
To where in solitude this life I'll spend
F
In the coldest place I've ever known
Bb
I'm here just waitin' until the end
Bb
I send up my S.O.S.
Eb
A message in a bottle set out to sea
F
It just reads soul in distress
Bb
But nobody ever got back to me
Eb Bb F
Can you hear me now can you hear me now
Eb Bb F Bb
Can you hear me now can you hear me now
Eb Bb F
Can you hear me now can you hear me now
Eb Bb F Bb
Can you hear me now can you hear me now
