This is an excellent cut from Graham Nash's 1971 solo album "Songs For Beginners".
This definitely fits the name of the album. It's as simple as it gets, even if a
couple of the chords are a bit unfamiliar at first.
Chords:
E:      022100
A6add9: x44200
E/D#:   x66400
I've wEatched you go through cA6add9hanges that no E/D#man should face A6add9alone
TEake to heel or tA6add9ame the horse the cE/D#hoice is still your oA6add9wn
But aErm yourself aA6add9gainst the pain a E/D#wounded bird can A6add9give
And iEn the end remA6add9ember it's with yE/D#ou you have to liA6add9ve
And iEn the end remA6add9ember it's with yE/D#ou you have to liEve
E A6add9 E/D# A6add9
StEand your ground I A6add9think you've got the E/D#guts it takes to A6add9win
But yEou must learn to tA6add9urn the key befE/D#ore she'll let you iA6add9n
And uEnderstand the pA6add9roblems of the gE/D#irl you want so A6add9near

A6add9

E/D#

This is an excellent cut from Graham Nash's 1971 solo album "Songs For Beginners".

This definitely fits the name of the album. It's as simple as it gets, even if a

couple of the chords are a bit unfamiliar at first.

Chords:

E: 022100

A6add9: x44200

E/D#: x66400

E A6add9 E/D# A6add9

I've watched you go through changes that no man should face alone

E A6add9 E/D# A6add9

Take to heel or tame the horse the choice is still your own

E A6add9 E/D# A6add9

But arm yourself against the pain a wounded bird can give

E A6add9 E/D# A6add9

And in the end remember it's with you you have to live

E A6add9 E/D# E

And in the end remember it's with you you have to live

E A6add9 E/D# A6add9

Stand your ground I think you've got the guts it takes to win

E A6add9 E/D# A6add9

But you must learn to turn the key before she'll let you in

E A6add9 E/D# A6add9

And understand the problems of the girl you want so near

E A6add9 E/D# A6add9

Or you'll wear the coat of questions till the answer hat is here

E A6add9 E/D# E

You'll wear the coat of questions till the answer hat is here

E A6add9 E/D# A6add9

Serenade your angel with a love song from your eyes

E A6add9 E/D# A6add9

Grow a little taller even though your age defies

E A6add9 E/D# A6add9

Feel a little smaller and in stature you will rise

E A6add9 E/D# A6add9

A hobo or a poet must kill dragons for a bride

E A6add9 E/D# E

And humble pie is always hard to swallow with your pride
