In The Afternoon

Intro: Am9 Am Sunlight fading In The Afternoon Am Shadows crawl across the land Am Tired backs bending In The Afternoon Am                            G Pockets glove the tired hand D   /   F   /   A   /   Am9 Am Walking slowly to the domicile, Am Built from mud and board and tears Am Dreams unloosening the hidden smile Am                             G He's been saving up for years D   /   F   /   A A Rapture secretly turns to speak A                                   D Tantalizing those who are weak Dm                              A       F# Offering in low, languid tones Bm             E7           A Houses that cannot be homes Pioneering spirit abounds In dreams that we keep fastening down Dreams that to live must be free To touch each man's destiny D                        F      E         A Turn and dig your heels in the road D                         F         E        A Don't be bound or trapped by the old F#                                      Bm Take from the past what you need      Bm                             E7 To give to the new life you lead A Run from the false golden crust         A                                     D That hides all the heartbreak and rust Dm                               A       F# Run to the arms of your youth Bm           E7              A Run to the arms of the truth Am Sunlight fading In The Afternoon Am Shadows crawl across the land Am Tired backs bending In The Afternoon Am Pockets glove the tired hand Words and Music (C) Michael Nesmith
