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!

C (x32010@1)                   F (133211@1) Keep a fire burning in your eye
C (x32010@1)                    F (133211@1) Pay attention to the open sky
C (x32010@1)                   F (133211@1)                  C (x32010@1)  G (320003@1) You never know what will be coming down

C (x32010@1)                       F (133211@1) I don't remember losing track of you
C (x32010@1)                              F (133211@1) You were always dancing in and out of view
C (x32010@1)                       F (133211@1)               C (x32010@1)  G (320003@1) I must've thought you'd always be around
Am (x02210@1)                    F (133211@1)                       C (x32010@1)  Always keeping things real by playing the clown
             G (320003@1) Now you're nowhere to be found

C (x32010@1) F (133211@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1)C (x32010@1)                              F (133211@1) I don't know what happens when people die
C (x32010@1)                              F (133211@1) Can't seem to grasp it as hard as I try
(F)           C (x32010@1)                     F (133211@1) 
  It's like a song I can hear playing right in my ear
               C (x32010@1)                   G (320003@1) That I can't sing  -  I can't help listening
C (x32010@1)                               F (133211@1) And I can't help feeling stupid standing 'round
C (x32010@1)              F (133211@1)  Crying as they ease you down
C (x32010@1)                        F (133211@1)                    C (x32010@1) 'Cause I know that you'd rather we were dancing
G (320003@1)                       Am (x02210@1) Dancing our sorrow away
F (133211@1) Right on dancing
        C (x32010@1)                 G (320003@1)	  No matter what fate chooses to play
                                      C (x32010@1) There's nothing you can do about it anyway

       F (133211@1)               C (x32010@1) Just do the steps that you've been shown
     F (133211@1)             C (x32010@1)          G (320003@1) By everyone you've ever known
 Am (x02210@1)                   C7 (x32310@1)  Until the dance becomes your very own
F (133211@1)             G (320003@1)  No matter how close to yours 
Am (x02210@1)                          F (133211@1) Another's steps have grown
         C (x32010@1)              G (320003@1)  In the end there is one dance you'll do alone

C (x32010@1) F (133211@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) 

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 (x02210@1)            F (133211@1)                  C (x32010@1) Don't let the uncertainty turn you around

  	  The world keeps turning around and around
     G (320003@1)                        C (x32010@1) Go on and make a joyful sound

    F (133211@1)         C (x32010@1)  Into a dancer you have grown
         F (133211@1)           C (x32010@1)             G (320003@1)   
  From a seed somebody else has thrown
Am (x02210@1)                   C7 (x32310@1)                    F (133211@1) Go on ahead and throw some seeds of your own
F (133211@1)                    G (320003@1)                  Am (x02210@1)  And somewhere between the time you arrive 
                      F (133211@1) And the time you go
              C (x32010@1)                   G (320003@1) May lie the reason you were alive

  But you'll never know

C (x32010@1) F (133211@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) C (x32010@1)
