More songs by America


This file is part of a collection that (moreso than the rest of the site) are not meant to be detailed or accurate transcriptions of the original recordings. They're just some simple chord charts that I made for my own use, some of them my own arrangements.

Well I tried to make it Sunday but I got so damn depressed
       A                E            G#m
That I set my sights on Monday and I got myself undressed
        A             F#m         C#m  G#m          A
I ain't ready for the altar but I do  agree there's times
       F#m            A               E     Esus4  E
When a woman sure can be a friend of mine


        E                                  G#m
Well I keep on thinking 'bout you, Sister Golden Hair surprise
      A                    E                 G#m
And I just can't live without you, can't you see it in my eyes
       A             F#m                 C#m      G#m     A
I been one poor correspondent and I been too, too hard to find
       F#m              A                 E    Esus4  E
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind


             B                               A              E
   Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air
             B                           A                 E
   Will you love me just a little just enough to show you care
           F#m
   Well I tried to fake it
     E/G#
   I don't mind saying
     Asus2
   I just can't make it
