Song for Adam (Official Video) | Gregg Allman Chords

_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Though Adam was a [D] friend of [G] mine, I did not know him well.
[D] He was alone and to [Bm] his [D] distance, [G] he was deep into his well. _
[D] I could guess [F#m] what he [Bm] was laughing [D] at, but [G] I couldn't really tell.
Now [Bm] the story's told that Adam jumped, [G] but I'm hoping that [Bm] he fell.
_ Together we [D] went traveling [G] as we received a call.
[D] His destination, [Bm] India, [G] and I hadn't done it all.
[D] But I still remember [Bm] laughing [F#m] with [G] our backs up against the wall.
So [D] free of fear, [Bm] we never [D] thought [G] that one of us might fall.
[F#m] _ [G] I sit before my [D] only candle, _ _ [G] but it's so little light [D] to find my way.
Now [G] the story [Em] unfolds before [Bm] my candle, which [D] is shorter every [A] hour as it reaches for the day.
But [Bm] I feel just like a candle in [G] a way, but I guess [D] I'll get there.
I [A] wouldn't say, _ [G] but sure.
_ _ _ [D] _
_ Ain't say, [G] but sure.
_ _ [D] _
_ [A] _ [Bm] When we parted, we were [D] still laughing [G] as our goodbyes were said.
And [D] I never heard [Bm] from him [D] again [G] as each our lives we led.
_ [D] Except for once [Bm] in someone [D] [G] else's letter that I read.
[Bm] Until I heard the sudden [D] words [G] that a friend of mine [Bm] was dead.
[G] I sit before [D] my only candle, _ _ [G] like a pilgrim sits before [D] the way.
_ [G] Now his turn he appears [Bm] before my candle.
As [D] the song is growing [A] fainter, the harder I play.
But [Bm] I feel just like a candle in [G] a way, guess [D] I'll get there.
I [A] wouldn't _ say, [G] but sure. _ _
_ [D] _ _ Ain't say, [G] but sure. _
_ [D] _ _ _ [Bm] Oh, Adam was [D] a friend of mine.
[G] I did not know [D] him long.
And when [F#m] I stood [Bm] myself [F#m] behind, [G] I never felt so strong.
[Am] Still [D] it seemed he [Bm] stopped singing [D] [G] in the middle of his song.
_ [Bm] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [Bm] _ [A] _ [G]
I sit before [D] my only candle, _ _ [G]
like a pilgrim sits before [D] the way.
_ _ _ [G]
I'm holding out my [Bm] only candle.
_ [D] As the song is growing fainter, [A] the harder I play.
[Bm] But I feel just like a candle [G] in a way, but I guess [D] I'll get there.
I [A] wouldn't say, _ [G] but sure.
_ _ _ [D] _ _ Can't [G] say, but sure.
_ [D] _ _ _ Can't say, [G]
but sure.
