All He Ever Saw Was You

INTRO: Em  D  G

                         C       
And now the flame is out, but the 
             G
light burns on
            Em          C         
No one ever said he was bigger 
      D
than his songs
G                    C           
So few ever knew the heart inside
     G
 the man
       Bm            C            
But he gave himself away, as only 
Am    Dsus4 D
poets can


            G                    
He took the stories of his people 
     C                 G
and gave them back in rhyme
                             Em    
But for the pleasures of the hearth
           C            D
 there was never enough time
   G                          C   
He said one day he'd quit and then
               G
 he would come home
              Bm              C   
But there was always one more 
          Am       Dsus4 D
stage, always one more road

CHORUS:
             G                     
The candle's burning at both ends, 
     C              G
it's burning in the middle
                   Em              
There's no time to stop between the
 C              G
 guitar and the fiddle
                Bm              C 
A crazy tune, a crazy time, you 
                  G
know the words were true
       Am                  D7     
Smiles lit their eyes, but all he 
             G
ever saw was you


INSTRUMENTAL: C   G C G  C  G  

Am  D  C   G C G  Am  D  G


And the road finally claimed him 
       C              G
like a sailor lost at sea
                      Em        
Setting sail on the horizon that 
 C                 D
would not let him be
G                     C          
Following a star that drew him 
     G
like a flame
              Bm           C      
And though he loved you so well it
     Am      Dsus4 D
 was not the same


CHORUS:
             G                     
The candle's burning at both ends, 
     C              G
it's burning in the middle
                   Em              
There's no time to stop between the
 C              G
 guitar and the fiddle
                Bm              C 
A crazy tune, a crazy time, you 
                  G
know the words were true
       Am                  D7     
Smiles lit their eyes, but all he 
             G
ever saw was you
