James Taylor 1975

Things may always stay the way they are [ Dmaj7 E11 Amaj7 ]
Still my head looks for a change from time to time [ Dmaj7 E11 Amaj7
A#dim]
I don't really need to look that far [ Bm7 Cdim C#m7 F#7sus F#7 ]
Turn on the music, strike up the music [ E11 ]
Let the music change my mind [ E11 Amaj7 A ]

Now don't I dig the big time rock-and-roll, [ Dmaj7 E11 Amaj7 ]
To sit in the darkness and be somebody else; [ Dmaj7 E11 Amaj7 A#dim]
A time which, after all, is under control. [ Bm7 Cdim C#m7 F#7sus F#7 ]
Crank out the music, give me music, [ E11 ]
Let the music fill the air. [ E11 Amaj7 A ]

My dear friend, your head's been sinking like a stone [ Dm7 G11 Cmaj7 ]
You must try thinking like a cloud sometime [ Em7 A11 Dmaj7 ]
Just leave a happy side out loud sometime [ F#m7 B11 Emaj7 ]
There's a symphony inside you [ G11 ]
There's a thousand things for you to do [ E11 Amaj7 ]
So come on@

Let a hush fall on the movie crowd; [ Dmaj7 E11 Amaj7 ]
Boy turns to girl and says, "I love you so." (Well, you know) [ Dmaj7 E11
Amaj7 A#dim]
What I hear in here is violins. [ Bm7 Cdim C#m7 F#7sus F#7 ]
Give me music, Mister Music, [ E11 ]
Let the music be there too [ E11 Amaj7 Amaj7 ]

I'll never know what to do [ Amaj7 C#m7 F#7 ]
unless you let the music be there too [ Bm7 E11 ]
La la la la la la la la la [ Amaj7 C#m7 F#7 Bm7 E11 ]
Let it be there too. [ E11 Amaj7 ]

James Taylor - Fire and Rain (Beacon Theatre)
Fire and Rain James Taylor at the Beacon Theatre, New York. ______________________________________ Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone Susanne the plans they made put an end to you I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song I just can't remember who to send it to I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you again Won't you look down upon me, Jesus You've got to help me make a stand You've just got to see me through another day My body's aching and my time is at hand And I won't make it any other way Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you again Been walking my mind to an easy time my back turned towards the sun Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you, baby, one more time again, now Thought I'd see you one more time again There's just a few things coming my way this time around, now Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you fire and rain, now
