Long Promised Road / Deirdre chords

A Side: Long Promised Road
-
Cmaj7.....................Em................................F
So hard to answer future's riddle when ahead is seeming so far behind
Cmaj7......................Em.......................................F
So hard to laugh a child-like giggle when the tears start to torture my mind
Em/G.......................Dm...................F
So hard to shed the life of before, to let my soul automatically soar
..........C.......................F
But I hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah
C.................................F
Knock down all the roadblocks a-stumbling me
C..............................Dm....................C/E...............F
Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down
Cmaj7...........................Em.........................F
Sew up the wounds of evolution and the now starts to get in my way
Cmaj7.......Em.....................................F
So what if life's a revelation if the mind speaks of only today
Em/G......................Dm...............................F
So real, the pain growing in my soul of climbing up to reality's goal
F/C
Long promised road
Dm6/F................................Em7.........................Am7/E..Em7/A..Am7
Trail starts at dawn carries on to the season's ending
F/C
Long promised road
Dm6/F....................................Em7.............Am7/E..Em7/A..Am7
Flows to the source, gentle force, never ending, never ending
Cmaj7.......Em......................................................F
So hard to lift the jeweled sceptre when the weight turns a smile to a frown
Cmaj7.........Em..................................................F
So hard to drink of passion nectar when the taste of life's holding me down
Em/G........................Dm..........................F
So hard to plant the seed of reform to set my sights on defeating the storm
