TITLE: There But for You Go I
Lyrics and Chords


[Brigadoon]

This is hard to say
But as I wandered through the lea
I felt for just a fleeting moment
That I suddenly was free
Of being lonely
Then I closed my eyes and saw the very reason why

/ C G7 / C - / F6 Dm6 / Bb7 A7 / D Dm / C Dm G7 E G7 - / 

I saw a man with his head held low
His heart had no place to go
I looked and I thought to myself with a sigh
There but for you go I

/ C G7 C - / Am E7 Am C7 / Dm G7 C FE7 / AmF CG7 C G7 /

I saw a man walking by the sea
Alone with the tide was he
I looked and I thought as I watched him go by
There but for you go I

Lonely men around me
Trying not to cry
'Til the day you found me
There among them was I

/ Em Am6 Em - / / C Gm7 C - / Ab - G7 - / 

I saw a man who had never known 
A love that was all his own
I thought as I thanked all the stars in the sky
There but for you go I

/ C G7 C - / Am E7 Am C7 / Dm G7 CF AmD7 / CF GG7 C - /
