Chords for Dennis Locorriere (Dr Hook) - "I Can´t Touch The Sun"

[Em] _ _ When I [E] was a young guy [B] and I met Shel Silverstein, he had all these great songs.
These great, [F] not, they're not just songs, they're like great stories to tell.
And
when I was a very young guy, Shel for some reason trusted me with all these
songs and I've been carrying them around ever since.
[Bm] There's so many of them.
_ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [E] And
you know sometimes when you record an album, _ you, _ you know, you put 12,
13, 14 songs on an album, whatever it is, and then when you go back on the road,
_ sometimes if you're lucky enough to have [G#] some hits maybe from there, you put those
songs, certainly you put them in the show.
And then a couple of the up [D]-tempo things,
but you very rarely put _ all the songs from your new album in your new show.
So
sometimes [G] you get to sing these songs once.
_ [E] _ _
_ _ I want to sing a song that [D] I sang
in the studio probably back in 1972, then I didn't sing it for years and years and
years.
And I've been singing it lately.
It's another Shel song.
I just love this song.
_ I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ can't [N] reach the clouds for you.
[G] I've never [Am] touched the sun for you.
_ I've _ _ never [A] done the things that you [D] need done for you.
_ _ _ I stretched as high as I
can reach.
I guess I'm [G] not the one for you. _ _
_ [A] Cause I can't reach the clouds or
touch [D] the sun for you. _ _ _
_ [A] I can't reach the clouds or touch [D] the sun. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I can't turn
back time for you and make you sweet [A] 16 again.
_ _ _ _ I can't turn your barren fields [D] to
green again.
_ _ _ And I won't sit around and talk of how things [G] might have been again. _ _ _
_ [A] No, I can't turn [G] back time and make you [D] young again. _ _ _
_ _ [A] I can't turn [G] back time and
make [D] you young. _ _ _
_ [A] I hope you find somebody who [G] can do the things [D] I didn't do [G] and
find the road [D] I didn't find [A] and build a [D] brighter world for you.
[A] I hope you find
somebody bold [G] enough to reach [D] and take a hold [G] and guide your ever [D]-changing mind
[G] and free your ever [A]-rising soul.
[G] But I _ _ can't. _
_ [A] No, I _ can't.
_ _ [D] I can't look inside your mind and see
the things [A] you're hoping for.
_ _ _ And I can't help you chase the [D] dream you're hoping
for.
_ _ You say your arms are open wide, but Lord [G] knows who they're open _ for. _
_ [A] No, I
can't chase [G] your dreams or know [D] your mind for you. _
_ _ [A] I can't chase [G] your dreams or know
[D] your _ [A] mind. _
[D] _ _ _ [E] So say goodbye and don't look back.
I've had some happy [B] days with you. _ _ _ _
_ Sorry I can't be the one [E] who stays with you. _ _
_ And when they ask about me, you can
say I [A] was the one with you.
_ _ _ _ [B] Who never [Am] reached the clouds or touched [E] the sun for you.
_ _ _ [Em] _ [B] I can't reach [A] the clouds or [E] touch the sun.
_ _ _ I [F#m] guess it's done.
_ [B] _ I can't [E] touch the sun for you.
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ I _ can't [E] touch the sun.
I can't.
No, no.
I can't.
[A] _ [B] _
_ _ I _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ can't [F#m] touch the _ sun.
_ _ _ [E] I _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ can't.
[F#m] I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ can't [E] touch the sun _ for _ _ you.
