Gordon Lightfoot - That Same Old Obsession
CAPO: 4th Fret
[INTRO]
G
[VERSE 1]
C
I come to this garden, I come here to rest
D G
Early each day upon rising
C D
I think of my lost love from over the sea
C G D G
{G-Gb} (bass walk-down)
And sometimes I've wondered, if she thinks of me
[CHORUS]
Em A D G
I long to recall every kiss, every kind word
C F Bb D
I miss her so much I could die
G C D
But the creatures of evil have captured her heart
C G D G F C G D G
And that same old obsession still keeps us apart
[VERSE 2]
C
There's peace in the garden, there's peace in the air
D G
Peace in the sound of the river
C D
There's peace in the meadow, the sun shines like gold
C G D G
{G-Gb} (bass walk-down)
And if she were with me there'd be peace in my soul
[CHORUS]
Em A D G
I long to return to the place I remember
C F Bb D
The taste of her lips close to mine
G C D
I could do much better if I could be strong
C G D G F C G D G
Come into my garden, but leave me alone
[VERSE 3]
C
I come to this garden, I come here to rest
D G
Just as the night comes stealing
C D
Someone is weeping, I'm calling her name
C G D G
{G-Gb} (bass walk-down)
Deep in the garden and deep in my brain
[CHORUS]
Em A D G
I long to recall every kiss, every kind word
C F Bb D
I miss her so much I could die
G C D
But the creatures of evil have captured her heart
C G D G
And that same old obsession still keeps us apart
C D
But the creatures of evil have captured her heart
C G D G F C G D G
And that same old obsession still keeps us apart
