From: cimo@cs.montana.edu (Bob Cimikowski) Here's a nice tune by Eric Andersen off his "Stages: The Lost Tracks" album. Solo guitar accompaniment won't quite capture all the beauty of this one, without the piano, mandolin, and nice harmonies by Shawn Colvin on the actual recording. MAKE IT LAST (Eric Andersen) Guitar: Capo III Intro: G C G C F G C verse 1:

^CIt's 2 am and ^Gpitch ^Cblack And I've ^Fgot so far to ^Cgo My hands are hangin' ^Ffrom the ^Cwheel But my ^Gmind it only ^Froams^G The ^Csun went down be^Ghind the ^Chills And the ^Fmiles are draggin' ^D7past This ^Chighway rolls ^D7forever But I'm ^Fcomin' ^Ghome at ^Clast

Refrain:

^CMake it last ^G I want to ^Ffeel the mornin' come Make it ^Clast ^G I want to ^Fsee the mornin' ^Gsun I ^Cwant to fly Like an ^Fangel in the wind Make it ^Clast ^G 'til I'm ^Fin your ^Garms ^Cagain

verse 2: (same chords as verse 1) By the highway is a diamond Glowin' in the night All along the dark horizon First sign and crack of light Up the road I see a hotel Better pull in off the line Tomorrow seems forever But I'll make it home on time Repeat refrain.

^AmRidin' 'neath the ^Cshotgun moon The ^Fclouds watch from ^Dm7above ^CThe things we do to ^Gkeep this life ^CThe things we do for ^Flove ^AmThe chain they call the ^Chighway Can ^Fnail you like a ^Dm7stone What I ^Cwouldn't do to ^Ghave one hour To ^Fbe with ^Gyou ^Calone

Repeat refrain. Up ahead I see a woman I can see her silhouette It's 4 am, the lights are out I can see the empty bed She's starin' out the window She puts out a cigarette The night rolls on forever Like the prairies in the West Repeat refrain.
