                          "Pilgrims Progress"
                     (Matthew Fisher - Keith Reid)

Verse 1:

	(D)         G (320003@1)     Bm (x24432@1)           Em (022000@1)   /D
	 I sat me down to write asimple (x02210@1)story
	       C (x32010@1)         G/B (143121@7)        Am7 (x02010@1)  /G
	Which maybe in the end became asong (x02210@1)	    D/F# (200232@1)   Dm/F     C/E (x3111x@5)             Ebdim (2312xx@1)In trying to find the words which might begin it
	   Em (022000@1)                  Am (x02210@1)                 C (x32010@1)   D (xx0232@1)I found these were the thoughts I'd brought along

Verse 2:

	At first I sought to be an anchor
	I gathered up my fears to ride me round
	But then I clearly saw my own delusion
	And found my struggles further brought me down

Verse 3:

	In starting out I thought to go exploring
	And set my foot upon the nearest road
	In vain I looked to find the promised turning
	But only saw how far I was from home

Bridge:

	    D (xx0232@1)           D7/C (030212@1)             G/B (143121@7)     C (x32010@1)name="chord_143121@7">G/B C (x32010@1)name="chord_143121@7">G/B
	In searching I forsook the paths of learning
	 D (xx0232@1)         D7/C (030212@1)             G/B (143121@7)          C (x32010@1)name="chord_143121@7">G/B C (x32010@1)name="chord_143121@7">G/B
	And sought instead to find some pirate's gold
	    D (xx0232@1)           D7/C (030212@1)            G/B (143121@7)   C (x32010@1)name="chord_143121@7">G/B C (x32010@1)name="chord_143121@7">G/B
	In fighting I did hurt those dearest to me
	 C (x32010@1)            G/B (143121@7)           Am7 (x02010@1)   Am7/G (302020@1)Still no hidden truths could I unfold

Instrumental break:

	organ solo (chord progression as per last two lines of verse)

Verse 4:

	I sat me down to write asimple (x02210@1)story
	Which maybe in the end became asong (x02210@1)	The words have all been read by one before me
	We're taking turns in trying to pass them on
	B7/D#       Em (022000@1)           Am7 (x02010@1)     Am7/D (00001x@1)   G (320003@1)[N.C.]
	Oh,  we're taking turns in trying to pass them on

Coda:

	piano (chords and rests as indicated):

	band enters; continue to fade:

	D (xx0232@1)      D/C (x30232@1)     G/B (143121@7)     Am/C (032210@1)/  / /   / / / /   / / / /   / / / /
