Chords for Jackson Browne - For A Dancer (+ lyrics 1974)

_ [C] _ Keep a fire [F] burning in your eye
[C] _ Pay attention to [F] the open sky
[C] You never know [F] what will be coming [C] down
_ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [C] I don't remember [F] losing track of you
[C] You were always dancing in [F] and out of view
_ [C] I must have thought [F] you'd always be [C] around
_ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [Am] _ Always keeping [F] things real by playing [C] the clown
_ [G] Now you're nowhere to be [C] found
I _ _
[Fm] _ _ [F] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [C] don't know what happens [F] when people [C] die
_ Can't seem to grasp it as [F] hard as I [C] try
It's like a song I can hear [F] playing right in my [C] ear
But I can't sing, _ I [G] can't help listening
_ [C] I can't help feeling [F] stupid standing [C] around
_ Crying is the [F] easier [C] down
Cause I know that [F] you'd rather we were [C] dancing _
[G] Dancing our sorrows [Am] away
_ [C] _
[F] _ _ Light on [C] dancing
No matter what [G] they've chosen [Em] you can do it [C] anyway _
[F] Just do the steps [C] that you've been shown
[F] By everyone [C] you've ever _ _
[G] known
_ _ [Am] _ Until the dance [C] becomes your [F] very own
No matter [G] how close we are
[Am] Another step's [F] a pro
_ [C] In the end there is [G] one dance you'll [C] do alone _
[F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[G] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [Am] Keep _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ a fire [F] for the human race
[C] Let your prayers go [F] drifting into space
[C] You never know [F] what will be coming [C] down _ _
[G] Perhaps _ _ [C] _ a better [F] world is drawing near
[C] Just as easily [F] it could all disappear
_ [C] Along with whatever [F] meaning you might [C] have found _
[G] Don't _ _ _ [Am] _ _ let the [F] uncertainty turn you [C] around
The world keeps turning [G] round and round
_ [C] _ _ _
[F] Into a dancer [C] you have grown
[F] From a seed somebody [C] else has grown
[G] _ _ Go [Am] _ on ahead and [C] throw some [F] seeds of your own
And somewhere [G] between the time [Am] you arrive and the [F] time you go
May lie [C] a reason _ _
[G] that you'll never [C] know _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
