THESE DAYS IN AN OPEN BOOK (Nanci Griffith)
-------------------------------------------
[Capo 2; open G tuning (DGDGBD).]
[Note that Bm(G) probably isn't a good name for a chord; it's just my
shorthand for "Bm(addG)."]
[Gx00000; Gsus/Ax20010; Am11x22010; Bm(G)x44030; Csus2x50030;
Dsusx20030; C/Gx02010; D/Gx04030; Gsusx00010; G/Bx40000.]
[Each chord, or group of chords joined by a hyphens (e.g., "Csus2 - Dsus")
is one measure; listen to the recording to get the rhythm.]
[G][intr[Gsus/A]o][Am11][-][Bm(G)][Csus2][-][Dsus]
[G] Shut it down and call this [Gsus]road a day
And put this s[C/G]ilence i[-]n my h[D/G]eart i[-]n a [C/G]better plac[G]e[-][Gsus]
I had tr[G]avelled with your ghosts now for so [Gsus]many years
That I s[Am11]ee you in[-] the sh[Bm(G)]adows, in [Csus2]hotel room[-]s and h[G/B]eadlights
[Gsus/A] You're comin[-]g up bes[G/B]ide me whether it's [Csus2]day or[-] n[G/B]ight[-][Gsus/A]
[G] These days my l[Gsus/A]ife is an open book
Missi[G/B]ng pag[-]es I [Csus2]cannot seem to f[G]ind
[G] These days your f[Gsus/A]ace in my memory
Is in a[G/B] folded h[-]and of [Csus2]grace against these [(G)]times
[G](..times[Gsus/A]) [similar[Am11] to i[-]nt[Bm(G)]ro][Csus2][-][G][-][Dsus]
No one's ever come between your memory and me
I have driven this weary vessel here alone
Will you still find me if I leave you here beside this road
'Cause I need someone who can touch me, who'll put no one above me
Someone who needs me like the air he breathes
These days my life is an open book
Missing pages I cannot seem to find
These days your face in my memory
Is in a folded hand of grace against these times
[Csus2] I can't[-] reme[G/B]mber where this [Gsus/A]toll road [-]goes[G/B]
[Csus2] Maybe i[-]t's [G/B]Fort Worth, maybe it's a [Gsus/A]heart of go[-]ld[G/B]
[Csus2] The pric[-]e of [G/B]love is such a [Gsus/A]heavy toll
That I've l[Gsus/A]ived my life in[-] the back[G/B]roads with [Csus2]your love i[-]n my p[G/B]ocket
If I [Gsus/A]spend the love y[-]ou gave me, [G/B]tell me, [Csus2]where wil[-]l it [G/B]go?[-][Gsus/A]
These days my life is an open book
Missing pages I cannot seem to find
These days your face in my memory
Is in a folded hand of grace against these times (time...)
[G] These days your f[Gsus/A]ace in my memory
Is in a[G/B] folded h[-]and of [Csus2]grace against these
[G/B] Folded h[-]and of gr[Csus2]ace of mine
[G/B] Folded h[-]and of gr[Csus2]ace against these [(G)]times
G Gsus/A Gsus/A - G/B Csus2 - G/B - Gsus/A G.
