Chords for Jackson Browne -Sing My Songs To Me, 8- 20- 04 , Live

_ _ And I _ just_
[C#] I don't know what to do. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ My God, she's wicked.
[C#] This is a song that I never do.
And I never sing this song.
Truth is, I was trying to
_ figure out how to like, what songs
to put on the greatest hits track. _ _
A long time ago, really.
And _ _ like_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
This was like the only song on this record
I really liked. _
The only record that I liked.
Because the songs change, the songs grow.
And your recordings of them seem dated.
They seem like they're a little bit rooted [C#] in their time.
And the songs have somehow
made it out of that time.
Because you can still sing them.
_ _ So the recording of this had a really famous
saxophone player playing the bass on it.
[F#] _ Wilton Felder
from the [C#]
Crusaders.
_ _ And_
_ He was a
session bass player.
He made a record
that he played on I Want You Back
by the Jackson 5.
_ _ And on this song, he came out with a really great part. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ It was a really cool thing.
_ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [C#] But the song is not old enough.
This is one of those songs I've written
[F#] since I was still living at home.
_ _ _ And in fact, I showed you the lyrics.
The original lyrics.
It was a _ pretty_ Pretty young.
_ _ _ Pretty [C#] young?
No, young.
_ _ And the way it wound up, it was pretty short.
It wound up cutting in half.
_ _ That's in the last verse.
But I think the [F#] words got_
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Sing my songs to me. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Sing my songs to me.
Sing them to me.
Sing them to me.
Sing them to me. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Sing me sunlight
in [F#] the shadows. _ _ _
[C#] _ _ Orange,
_ [F#] rose, and yellow.
_ _ [C#] But you'll always _
_ [F#] bring back
_ _ [C#] my _ memories. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Sing [F#] my songs to me. _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Sing my [F#] dreams to me. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Sing _ _ _ them to me.
Sing _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
them to me.
Turn, maybe turn [F#] downward. _
_ _ [C#] Show my _ mind's
strangest little [F#] flower.
_ _ But I'd [C#] like to know
when they [F#] go,
where they go
when [C#] the morning _ comes. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Sing [F#] my dreams to me. _ _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Because it seems to me
_ _ [F#] _ _
_ [C#] _ that I [A#m] will _ _
_ _ another time be.
Sing my dreams to me.
I better _ wait
_ till [F#] you
are home.
Come time
[C#] host me dancing _ _
_ _ _ _ _ to [F] my dreams.
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I'm [C#] trying to remember
something and I barely remember.
It's a hard thing not to actually
try to improve on it as you [F#] remember it. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ That's what I'll do instead of writing
any new songs.
I'll just
[F#] rewrite these ones.
_ _ _ _ _ [G#] _ _
[C#] _ _ [G#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ It was that [C#] when I read
the old lyrics to this,
_ _ instead of saying
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ sing me
sunlight in shadows,
[F#] _
[C#] orange groves and meadows, it said sunlight in shadows.
It said oranges and yellows.
And what I
remember is that like
when I lived at home,
my stash
_ was a little
[G#] _
bottle that was covered with
orange and yellow [C#] paper. _
I made a [F#] collage out of it.
So the corosetum bottle or something
was [C#] _ orange [G#] and yellow. _
_ _ [F#] _ _ So [C#] you know where
these songs come from.
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
[G#] Sing [C#] my songs to me.
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
