Long Promised Road

         Cmaj9   C7+/E
         So hard to answer future's 
riddle
            Fmaj9   F6     Fmaj9 
         When ahead is seeming so 
F6
far behind
         Cmaj9   C7+/E
         So hard to laugh a 
child-like giggle
            Fmaj9    F6      
         When the tears start
Fmaj9   F6
 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           
         Throw off all the 
C7/E       F      F7
shackles that are binding me down

         Cmaj9   C7+/E
         Sew up the wounds of 
evolution

         And the now starts to get
Fmaj9  F6
 in my way
             Cmaj9     C7+/E
         So what if life's a 
revelation
                   Fmaj9   F6     
         If the mind speaks of 
Fmaj9 F6
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 
Carries on to the season's 
Em7/A Am7 [ Am7: C-E-G-A
ending                Em7: D-E-G-B ]
         F/C
         Long promised road
         Dm6/F
         Flows to the source
             Em7      Am7/E   
         Gentle force, never 
Em7/A      Am7
ending      never ending

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

          I'd love to see you
         F6
