"Pilgrims Progress"
(Matthew Fisher - Keith Reid)
Verse 1:
(D) G Bm Em /D
I sat me down to write a simple story
C G/B Am7 /G
Which maybe in the end became a song
D/F# Dm/F C/E Ebdim
In trying to find the words which might begin it
Em Am C D
I found these were the thoughts I'd brought along
Verse 2:
At first I sought to be an anchor
I gathered up my fears to ride me round
But then I clearly saw my own delusion
And found my struggles further brought me down
Verse 3:
In starting out I thought to go exploring
And set my foot upon the nearest road
In vain I looked to find the promised turning
But only saw how far I was from home
Bridge:
D D7/C G/B C G/B C G/B
In searching I forsook the paths of learning
D D7/C G/B C G/B C G/B
And sought instead to find some pirate's gold
D D7/C G/B C G/B C G/B
In fighting I did hurt those dearest to me
C G/B Am7 Am7/G
Still no hidden truths could I unfold
Instrumental break:
organ solo (chord progression as per last two lines of verse)
Verse 4:
I sat me down to write a simple story
Which maybe in the end became a song
The words have all been read by one before me
We're taking turns in trying to pass them on
B7/D# Em Am7 Am7/D G [N.C.]
Oh, we're taking turns in trying to pass them on
Coda:
piano (chords and rests as indicated):
D D/C G/B Am
