FOUNTAIN OF SORROW - Jackson Browne
Intro: |Dm C/D |Bb |Bb6 |F |Dm |C |Bb |F
Dm C Bb FLooking through some photographs I found inside a drawer Dm C Bb FI was taken by a photograph of you Dm C Bb FThere were one or two I know that you would have liked a little more Dm C Bb FBut they didn't show your spirit quite as true
Am F Bb FYou were turning 'round to see who was behind you Am C C/BbAnd I took your childish laughter by surpriseA7 Bb/F Bb C7/9 DmAnd at the moment that my camera happened to find you Gm Bb F Bb F There was just a trace of sorrow in your eyes
Dm C Bb FNow the things that I remember seem so distant and so small Dm C Bb FThough it hasn't really been that long a time Dm C Bb FWhat I was seeing wasn't what was happening at all Dm C Bb FAlthough for a while, our path did seem to climb
Am F Bb FBut when you see through love's illusions, there lies the danger Am Csus4 C/Bb And your perfect lover just looks like a perfect foolA7 Bb/F Bb C7/9 Dm So you go running off in search of a perfect stranger Gm F/A Bb While the loneliness seems to spring from your life F C/E Dm7 C/E Dm C Like a fountain from a pool
Bb F A/C# Dm C Fountain of sorrow, fountain of lightBb F A/C# Dm C You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flightBb F Edim/C# A7/F Dm You've had to hide sometimes, but now you're all right F Bb/F Bb F/A Gm F F9/G F/A Bb F/A Bb/G F And it's good to see your smiling face tonight
Instrum: |Dm C/D |Bb |Bb6 |F |Dm |C |Bb |F |Dm |C |Bb |F |Dm |C |Bb |F Dm C Bb FNow for you and me it may not be that hard to reach our dreams Dm C Bb FBut that magic feeling never seems to last Dm C Bb F And while the future's there for anyone to change, still you know it's seems Dm C Bb FIt would be easier sometimes to change the past
Am F Bb/C FI'm just one or two years and a couple of changes behind you Am Am7sus4 Am C C/BbIn my lessons at love's pain and heartache school Bb/F Bb C7/9 DmWhere if you feel too free and you need something to remind you Gm Bb There's this loneliness springing up from your life F C/E Dm7 C/E Dm C Like a fountain from a pool
