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.
DSo Bmclose and yet so Emfar awayC D7 D7And all the things I'd Chope to Dsay CWill have to go Bmunsaid Emtoday CPerhaps until toD7morrow DYour Bmfears have built a Emwall betweenC D7 D7Our lives and all that Cloving Dmeans CWill have to go unBmfelt it Emseems CLeaving only Dsorrow
CHORUS
CYou built your tower Dstrong and Bmtall CCan't you see it's Dgot to fall Dsomeday
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 #--------------------------------------------------------------#
