Only For Me by James Taylor
Only For Me
Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: E
[Intro]
G Bm G F#m7 E
[Verse 1]
F#m7 A/B E
Down the end of the barroom
F#m7 Esus4/B E A
Out of sight of the light in the window
D/E A B C#m7
His mind in his whiskey and his body in a folding chair
Emaj7 F#m7 A/B E
Far beyond repair
[Verse 2]
F#m7 A/B E
I enter his vision
F#m7 Esus4/B E A
He watches me look for my seat
D/E A B C#m7
He makes his decision and he stands to his feet
Emaj7 F#m7
Lord, it's a long way down
[Chorus]
A/B E F#m7 A/B E
It happened to me, wonderful sight
F#m7 A/B E F#m7 A/B E
Only for me only for you
A B C#m
It happened to be a light shining through
Emaj7 F$m7
From one who was lost and found
A/B E F#m7 A/B
Just like me and you
[Verse 3]
F#m7 A/B E
Old man says, "Young man, my you're looking pretty green yeah
F#m7 Esus4/B E A
Like a stranger to this kind of place
D/E A B C#m7
Come sit at my table, come and look into my face
Emaj7 F#m7 A/B
I've got a story to tell
[Verse 4]
E F#m7 A/B E
There was a father and son
F#m7 Esus4/B E A
But that was a long time ago
D/E A
And when the time came to run
B C#m7 Emaj7 F#m7
I just couldn't say no so I left them behind"
[Chorus]
A/B E F#m7 A/B E
It happened to me, wonderful sight
F#m7 A/B E F#m7 A/B E
Only for me only for you
A B C#m
It happened to be a light shining through
Emaj7 F#m7
From one who was lost and found
A/B E F#m7 A/B
Just like me and you
[Verse 5]
E F#m7 A/B
We have seen it before
E F#m7 Esus4/B E A
In times of great sorrow
D/E A B
That human compassion will flow
C#m7 Emaj7 F#m7
From a well that has long run dry
[Chorus]
A/B E F#m7 A/B E
It happened to me, wonderful sight
F#m7 A/B E F#m7 A/B E
Only for me only for you
A B C#m
It happened to be a light shining through
Emaj7 F#m7
From one who was lost and found
A/B E F#m7 A/B
Just like me and you, oh yes
[Outro]
