Long Promised Road

         Cmaj9   C7+/E
         So hard to answer future's riddle
            Fmaj9   F6     Fmaj9 F6
         When ahead is seeming so far behind
         Cmaj9   C7+/E
         So hard to laugh a child-like giggle
            Fmaj9    F6      Fmaj9   F6
         When the tears start to torture my mind
             G6           Am7/D
         So hard to shed the life of before
         F6
         To let my soul automatically soar

 Chorus:
              C      F6     C
         But I hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah
             F6
         Knock down all the roadblocks stumbling me
             C     Dm           C7/E       F      F7
         Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down

         Cmaj9   C7+/E
         Sew up the wounds of evolution
                  Fmaj9    F6     Fmaj9  F6
         And the now starts to get in my way
             Cmaj9     C7+/E
         So what if life's a revelation
                   Fmaj9   F6     Fmaj9 F6
         If the mind speaks of only today
              G6           Am7/D
         So real, the pain growing in my soul
               F6
         Of climbing up to reality's goal

 Bridge:
         F/C
         Long promised road
         Dm6/F     [D -F -A-B]
         Trail starts at dawn
                 Em7     Am7/E Em7/A Am7 [ Am7: C-E-G-A
Carries on to the season's ending                Em7: D-E-G-B ]
         F/C
         Long promised road
         Dm6/F
         Flows to the source
             Em7      Am7/E   Em7/A      Am7
         Gentle force, never ending      never ending

         Cmaj9   C7+/E
         So hard to lift the jeweled sceptre
                  Fmaj9   F6    Fmaj9   F6
         When the weight turns a smile to a frown
         Cmaj9      C7+/E
                 So hard to drink of passion nectar
                  Fmaj9    F6      Fmaj9  F6
         When the taste of life's holding me down
                 G6          Am7/D
                 So hard to plant the seed of reform
               F6
         To set my sights on defeating the storm

**Chorus

Coda (Repeat To Fade):

          I'd love to see you
         F6
          I'd love to see you
