If I Go Up

From “Vinegar and Brown Paper” 1993, Eden Burning em C G Em Bm A greener grass, a cooler shade, C G D C I have sought for, I’ve often fought for C G Em Bm A higher hill and a fairer shore, C G D C //// I have cried for, almost died for Em C D Em c D So far have I traveled. So far have I traveled. C G Em Bm A stronger hour, a deeper mind, C G D C I have strived for I’ve been alive for C G Em Bm a lasting love and a quiet heart, C G D C Bm //// I have wronged for, I’ve always longed for. Em C D Em c D So far have I traveled. So far have I traveled. C G Em Bm And now I lie and looking back, C G D C I’m seeing hopes fading dreams growing distant C G Em Bm My hands are worn, yet nothing hold C G D C Bm //// as life like smoke curls through fingers. So far have I traveled. So far have I traveled. C G Em Bm And through the mist of bygone years, C G D C I sense the truth for all who travel C G Em Bm And through the mist of bygone years, C G D //// I sense the truth for all who travel, Em C D Em If I go up to the heavens you are there. Em C D Em And if I make my bed in the depths you’ll be there Em C D Em If I rise on the wings of the dawn you’ll be there Em C D Em And if I settle on the far side of the sea you’ll be there Em C D Em Even there your hand will guide me even there, Em C D Em And lead me in the way of everlasting.
