Capo on the fourth fret to play with the Rear View Mirror version. This is a beautiful guitar pick that is not too difficult. The timing is a little tricky hitting the F chord for one beat before the G7. Townes actually only plays the "F" note (D string third fret above the capo) when transitioning from the Dm to the G7. Listen to the "Rear View Mirror" version to hear the pick.
CSo Emclose and yet so Dmfar awayF G7 G7And all the things I'd Fhope to Csay FWill have to go Emunsaid Amtoday FPerhaps until toG7morrow CYour Emfears have built a Dmwall betweenF G7 G7Our lives and all that Floving Cmeans FWill have to go unEmfelt it Amseems FLeaving only Gsorrow
CHORUS
FYou built your tower Gstrong and Emtall FCan't you see it's Ggot to fall Csomeday
You close your eyes and speak to me Of faith and love and destiny As distant as eternity From truth and understanding The wind blows cold outside your door It whispers words I've tried before But you don't hear me anymore You're pride's just too demanding CHORUS The end is coming soon it's plain A warm bed just ain't worth the pain And I will go and you'll remain With bitterness we've tasted A mother's breast a new born child A poet's tears a drunken smile I can't help thinking all the while Their meaning won't be wasted CHORUS #--------------------------------------------------------------#
