I'd Rather Press On -Gordon Lightfoot transcribed by Solomon Schneider (I made one minor correction, but it doesn't seem possible to unsubmit my previous version.) Intro: D A D G Is it my imagination or is it my iron pride A Bm I wonder if it matters much if time is on my side D G Bm I'd rather press on--I don't wanta rest easy A D G Anywhere I stray--I will make it a brand new day D A Anyway that is all I've gotta say Bm D I'd rather be by the seaside G D than be playin' a one night stand Bm D I've been too wrapped up in my own dreams G A I will change things if I can D G Bm I gotta press on--don't wanta rest easy A D Wouldn't it feel fine--to return to the women and the G D A A\Bm A D wine and all of the sunshine that we knew Intro You will never know what blue is until you have played the game Til you see life in solitaire where no one knows your name I'd rather press on--I don't wanta rest easy Have anyway you will--I will be with you right up Until the spell is broken and all is well If you'd rather be by the seashore well I sure can understand Are ya too wrapped up in your own scene I will change things if I can I'd rather press on--I don't wanta rest easy Wouldn't it feel fine-- but remembering the rhythm and the rhymes And all of the good times makes me blue Wouldn't it feel fine to return to the women and the wine And all of the sunshine that we knew
