Golden Moments
Words & Music by James Taylor
(c) 1976, 1980 Country Road Music
       A/D           D                C/F
Now if all my golden moments could be rolled into one
           D                   A/D      C/D
they would shine just like the sun on a summer day
D  G    Em7 A7sus4     Bm            C/D
             A#dim7                  
And after it was over    we could have it back again
D   G     Em7 A7sus4      Bm             D/EE     D/EE
               A#dim7                            
with credit to the editor        for striking out the rain, very clean
    G     Em7 A7sus4           Bm            Csus2
               A#dim7                        
And all it really needed         was the proper point of view
C/F                  A/DC/F                 C
                                            /D
No one's gonna bring me down. No one's gonna stop me now
       A/D           D             C/F
Now I gathered up my sorrows and I sold them all for gold
      D               A/D        C/D                  D
and I gathered up the gold and I threw it all away
D G       Em7A7sus4    Bm            C/DD
              A#dim7                  
It all went for a good time and a song, come on
D   G     Em7 A7sus4      Bm           D/EE     D/EE
               A#dim7                          
But laughter was like music;  it did float my soul along for a while
    G     Em7 A7sus4           Bm            Csus2
               A#dim7                        
And all it really needed was the proper point of view
C/F                  A/DC/F                 C
                                            /D
No one's gonna reach me here. No one's gonna know I'm gone
         A/D             D           C/F
You may think I might be crazy and I guess you might be right
      D              A/D           C/D
but I know the way I feel today is out of sight
DG     Em7     A7sus4     Bm            C/DD
                A#dim7                   
I do not trust your senses        to remember your name
    G     Em7  A7sus4             Bm            D/EE D/EE
                A#dim7                              
Without corrective lenses        things are never twice the same
    G     Em7 A7sus4           Bm            Csus2
               A#dim7                        
And all it really needed was the proper point of view
C/F                     A/D   C/F                    A/D
No one's gonna bring me down. No one's gonna stop me now.
C/F                     A/D   C/F                    A/D
No one's gonna reach me here. No one's gonna know I'm gone.
