| For A Dancer - JACKSON BROWNE |
| From the 1974 album: Late For The Sky |
| Sumbitted by D. Weil |
| The song is mainly played on a piano, but heres the guitar chords anyway. Pretty straight |
| foreward, no tricky stuff and all basic open position chords. Just watch for the Am to |
| C7 switch. Enjoy! |

| Keep a fire burning | in your eye |
| C | F |
| Pay attention to the | open sky |
| C | F | C | G |
| You never know what | will be coming down |
| C | F |
| I don’t remember losing | track of you |
| C | F |
| You were always dancing in and | out of view |
| C | F | C | G |
| I must’ve thought you’d | always be around |
| Am | F | C |
| Always keeping things | real by playing the clown |
| G | |
| Now you’re | nowhere to be found |
| C | F | C | G |
| C | F |
| I don’t know what happens when | people die |
| C | F |
| Can’t seem to grasp it as hard | as I try |
| F |
| C F |
| It’s like a song I can hear playing right in my ear |
| C | G | |
| That I can’t | sing - I can’t help | listening |
| C | F |
| And I can’t help feeling stupid | standing ’round |
| C | F |
| Crying as they | ease you down |
| C | F | C |
| ’Cause I know that you’d | rather we were dancing |
| G | Am |
| Dancing our sorrow away |
| F |
| Right on dancing |
| C | G | |
| No | matter what fate | chooses to play |
| C | |
| There’s nothing you can do about it | anyway |
| F | C | |
| Just | do the steps that | you’ve been shown |
| F | C | G | |
| By | everyone you’ve | ever known |
| Am | C7 | |
| Until the dance | becomes your very own |
| F | G |
| No matter how | close to yours |
| Am | F |
| Another’s steps have grown |
| C | G | |
| In the | end there is one | dance you’ll do alone |
| C | F | C | G |
| Keep | a | fire | for the human race |
| Let your prayers go drifting into space |
| You never know what will be coming down |
| Perhaps a better world is drawing near |
| And just as easily it could all disappear |
| Along with whatever meaning you might have found |
| Am | F | C |
| Don’t let the | uncertainty turn you | around |
| The world keeps turning around and around |
| G | C | |
| Go | on and make a joyful sound |
| F | C | |
| Into a dancer | you have grown |
| F | C | G | |
| From a | seed somebody | else has thrown |
| Am | C7 | F |
| Go on ahead and throw | some seeds of your own |
| F | G | Am |
| And somewhere between | the time you arrive |
| F | |
| And the time you go |
| C | G | |
| May lie the | reason you were alive |
| But you’ll never know |
| C | F | C | G | C | G | C |
