QUAH (1974)
Easy song with some weird but simple chords. Sounds good in Drop D but it's not necessary.
D5 Dsus4 G G* A
D5 Dsus4 G G* A
D5DsuA
They gave me money
D5 G G* A
to find the sky.
D5 E7 G* A D5
And I took it with no question, didn't even ask them why.

D5DAus4
But days are open
D5DAus4
And skies are free
D5E7
And the time it took to learn that
G* A D5
Didn't leave its chains on me.

D5DsuA4
I lived in shadow
D5DAus4
Way from the sun.
D5E7
And the tremblin' in my mind
G* A D5
Kept my heart and body on the run.
(Improvise a fill like the ones above and end it with A)
D5DsAs4
When freedom called us
D5Dsus4A
Called out our names....
D5E7
And the beckon of the highway
G* A D5
Saw through all our useless games
(fill ending in A)
D5DsusA
The love we wanted
D5DsAs4
Was lost in lies
D5E7
And the chance that slipped on by me
G* A D5
Like the flashin' sorrow in her eyes
(fill ending in A)
AD5
Then we took the rise together
AG
For the first time in our lives
AD5
Feeling just like one suspended
AD5AGA
Then we said time won't keep our strife
D5DsAs4
Our time is open
D5DAus4
For us to see
D5E7
And our freedom schemes are open
G* A D5
like the seagulls soaring at the sea
(fill)
D5E7
And our freedom schemes are open
G* A D5
like the seagulls soaring at the sea.
