In the Passage is played on piano, so to emulate the sound on guitar, I recommend fingerpicking.
I won't be covering the solos or the fingerpicking patterns, but they're fairly
easy to figure out if you know the chords.
INTRO: C Bb C Bb C Bb C Bb F Am G
CBb
There's a ring around the moon tonight
CBb
and a chill in the air
CBbC-FAmG
And a fire in the stars that hang so near, so near
CBbCBb
There's a sound in the wind that blows through the wild mountain holds
CBbCFAmG
Like the sighs of a thousand crying souls, crying souls
Fill: F G
There's a time when the traveler is fated to find
That insight has turned his gaze behind, behind
And the steps taken yesterday will beckon again
And lead to his weary journey's end, his journey's end
(Chorus)
FGEmAm-G
And in the passage from the cradle to the grave
FGEmAm-G
we are born, madly dancing
FGEmAm
Rushing headlong through the crashing of the days
BbFG
We run on and on without a backwards glance
BbFG
We run on and on without a backwards glance
AmGAmEmAm
I cast my fate with the wife of Lot I turned my gaze around
AmGFG
Knowing neither what I sought nor what was to be found
AmGAmEmAm
Heeding weakness, feeding strength, oh life at length is frail
AmGF
I seek again the river's source through time's dark shadowed veil
SOLO: C Bb C Bb C Bb F Am G
In the fast fading century, as we spin through the years
I pray that our failing vision clears, our vision clears
(Chorus)
The places dash and the faces dart like fishes in a dream
Hiding 'neath the murky banks of long forgotten streams
The lines of life are never long when seen from end to end
The future's never coming, and the past has never been
There's a ring around the moon tonight, and a chill in the air
And a fire in the stars that hang so near, so near
