Here's a nice tune by Eric Andersen off his "Stages: The Lost Tracks" album.
Solo guitar accompaniment won't quite capture all the beauty of this one,
without the piano, mandolin, and nice harmonies by Shawn Colvin on
the actual recording.


MAKE IT LAST

(Eric Andersen)

Guitar: Capo III

Intro: G C G C F G C

verse 1:

CC Piano Chord 
             GG Piano Chord 
     CC Piano Chord 

It's 2 am and pitch black
FF Piano Chord 
             CC Piano Chord 

And I've got so far to go
FF Piano Chord 
        CC Piano Chord 

My hands are hangin' from the wheel
GG Piano Chord 
            FF Piano Chord 
    GG Piano Chord 

But my mind it only roams
CC Piano Chord 
               GG Piano Chord 
        CC Piano Chord 

The sun went down behind the hills
FF Piano Chord 
                  D7D7 Piano Chord 

And the miles are draggin' past
CC Piano Chord 
             D7D7 Piano Chord 

This highway rolls forever
FF Piano Chord 
      GG Piano Chord 
       CC Piano Chord 

But I'm comin' home at last

Refrain:

CC Piano Chord 
            GG Piano Chord 

Make it last
FF Piano Chord 

I want to feel the mornin' come
CC Piano Chord 
    GG Piano Chord 

Make it last
FF Piano Chord 
               GG Piano Chord 

I want to see the mornin' sun
CC Piano Chord 

I want to fly
FF Piano Chord 

Like an angel in the wind
CC Piano Chord 
    GG Piano Chord 

Make it last
FF Piano Chord 
       GG Piano Chord 
    CC Piano Chord 

'til I'm in your arms again

verse 2:  (same chords as verse 1)

By the highway is a diamond
Glowin' in the night
All along the dark horizon
First sign and crack of light
Up the road I see a hotel
Better pull in off the line
Tomorrow seems forever
But I'll make it home on time

Repeat refrain.

AmAm Piano Chord 
                CC Piano Chord 

Ridin' 'neath the shotgun moon
FF Piano Chord 
                 Dm7Dm7 Piano Chord 

The clouds watch from above
CC Piano Chord 
                   GG Piano Chord 

The things we do to keep this life
CC Piano Chord 
                    FF Piano Chord 

The things we do for love
AmAm Piano Chord 
                      CC Piano Chord 

The chain they call the highway
FF Piano Chord 
               Dm7Dm7 Piano Chord 

Can nail you like a stone
CC Piano Chord 
              GG Piano Chord 

What I wouldn't do to have one hour
FF Piano Chord 
       GG Piano Chord 
   CC Piano Chord 

To be with you alone

Repeat refrain.

Up ahead I see a woman
I can see her silhouette
It's 4 am, the lights are out
I can see the empty bed
She's starin' out the window
She puts out a cigarette
The night rolls on forever
Like the prairies in the West

Repeat refrain.
