SOMETHING TO ME (Tift Merritt)
------------------------------
* Actually in B; capo 4.
* Each chord is one measure, but chords joined with hyphens
(e.g., G - Gsus4) are one measure TOTAL.
(Gsus4-G-Gsus4-G) G G-Gsus4 G G-Gsus4 G G-Gsus4 G G-Gsus4
[intro, preceded by 4 eighth notes]
G G G G
Oh, the song I love the best's the one my father taught to me
Bm7 Bm7 Bm7 Bm7
The kindness of a stranger is dust from an unseen wing
C C G G
But an old friend at my table is by far the finest thing
Am Am7 D D
This tired mile could give to me
Oh, the colors of the man I love are deepest blue and green
And it isn't very often that I say just what I mean
'Cause the feeling seems to scatter and these words fall in between
For what I miss, I'll just tell you this
C C G D
It's something to me, it's something to me
Em Em C C
I don't know what it comes to, and it's not so much to see
G G D D
But you take tomorrow, so long as you know
C C G G
It's something to me, it's something to me
Gentle is the road within me and it's gently I depart
'Cause these well-worn threads of daylight will sometimes come apart
Giving way to all the shadows where no one can hear your heart
So down in the dark, if that's where you are
It's something to me, it's something to me
I don't know what it comes to, and it's not so much to see
But you take tomorrow, so long as you know
It's something to me, it's something to me
[guitar solo, same chords as one verse]
Well, the tender hands of morning have given up a new sunrise
And we all get up together in our ordinary lives
Going one step for another, giving up has crossed my mind
I'll take a long day, come 'round the right way
It's something to me, it's something to me
I don't know what it comes to, and it's not so much to see
But you take tomorrow, so long as you know
It's something to me, it's something to me
You take tomorrow, so long as you know
It's something to me, it's something to me
[end on G.]
