JUST A SONG BEFORE I GO- Crosby, Stills and Nash

Capo on 2nd fret

CHORUS #1:

Em Bm

Just a song before I go

C Am

To whom it may concern

Em Bm

Travelling twice the speed of sound

C Am

It's easy to get burned

G F

When the shows were all over

Am Bm

We had to get back home

G F

And when we opened up the door

Am RIFF

I had to be alone

CHORUS #2:

She helped me with my suitcase

She stands before my eyes

Driving me to the airport

And to the friendly skies

Going through security

I held her for so long

She finally looked at me in love

And she was gone

REPEAT CHORUS #1

RIFF 1 (roughly):

E -----------------------------|
B --0h1-----0-----1-----/3-----|
G ------0-----0-----0------0---|
D --0h2-----0---0-2---2-/4---4-|
A --------0--------------------|
E -----------------------------|

RIFF 2:

E ------------------------------------|
B ---1---3---5---7---8----10----12----|
G --0---0---0---0---0----0-----0------|
D -2---4---5---7---9---10----12-------|
A ------------------------------------|
E ------------------------------------|

NOTE: I'm note quite sure on the first riff, but the second riff is

pretty accurate, I think.
