No Easy Way Down (Goffin-King) This is my take on the arrangement from her 1970 Album writer and the song had previously been recorded by Dusty Springfield on the Dusty in Memphis Album. I did not know that Scott Walker/Engel had recorded it until I found the Tab on UG. I have changed the key to that of the recording (G major), and added her embellishments Intro G Bm7 Cmaj7 Am7/D (=D11) Verse 1 G Bm7 Cmaj7 Am7/D (=D11) Your toy balloon has sailed in the sky, love

^GBut now it must ^Bm7fall to the g^Cmaj7round ^Am7/D And your ^Gmaj9sad eyes ^Cmaj9reveal just how^Gmaj9 badly you ^Cmaj9feel And ^Gthere ^Bm7is ^Cmaj7 no ^Bm7easy way ^Am7down ^Am7/D ^D7

Verse 2 The view from the cliffs must have been exciting And up to the peaks you were bound Now you're stranded alone and the path is unknown G Bm7 Cmaj7 Bm7 E7 EEF And there is no easy way down Bridge
