Song For Adam

A F C F C G A A A C F Though Adam was a friend of mine, I did not know him well C C/B A G F He was alone into his distance, He was deep into his well C C/B A G F I could guess what he was laughing at, But I couldn't really tell A G A G F A Now the story's told that Adam jumped, But I'm thinking that he fell A C F Together we went travelling, as we received the call C C/B A G F His destination India, and I had none at all C C/B A G F Well I still remember laughing, with our backs against the wall A G A G F A G So free of fear we never thought, that one of us might fall F C F C I sit before my only candle, but it's so little light to find my way F A Now this story unfolds before my candle C G Which is shorter every hour as it reaches for the day A G Well I feel just like a candle in a way F C G F C F C G I guess I'll get there but I wouldn't say__ for sure A C F When we parted we were laughing still, as our goodbyes were said C C/B A G F And I never heard from him again, as each our lives we led C C/B A G F except for once in someone else's letter that I read A G A G F A G Until I head the sudden word, that a friend of mine was dead F C F C I sit before my only candle, like a pilgrim sits beside the way F A Now this journey appears before my candle C G as a song that's growing fainter, the harder I play A G well I fear before I am I'll fade away F C G F C F C G But I guess I'll get there, though I wouldn't say___ for sure A C F Though Adam was a friend of mine, I did not know him long C C/B A G F And when I stood myself beside him, I never thought I was as strong C C/B A G F still it seemed he stopped his singing in the middle of his song A G A G F A G well I'm not the one to say I know but I'm hoping he was wrong F C F C I'm holding out my only candle, though it's so little light to find my way F A now this story's been layed beneath my candle C G and it's shorter every hour as it reaches for the day A G yes I feel just like a candle in a way F C G F C F C G I hope I'll get there but I'll never pray outro: A A
