Pure And Easy

Intro 

 C G F G 


       C          G    F        G 
 There once was a note, pure and easy 
 C         G           F       G        C 
 Playing so free like a breath, rippling by 
 Fmaj7                  Dm7 
 The note is eternal, I hear it, it sees me, 
 F                   Dm         C 
 Forever we blend as, forever we die 
 

   C              Dm    F          G 
 I listened and I heard music in a word, 
     C              Dm             F     G 
 and words when you played your guitar 
     Dm               Em 
 The noise that I was hearing 
       G              Am 
 was a million people cheering 
 G                        C/G         G7       C/G 
 And a child flew past me riding in a star 

 

    Dm               Am 
 As people assemble, civilization 
     G               Dm7        G 
 Is trying to find a new way to die 
     Am                Em           E 
 But killing is really merely scene changer 
  Fmaj7/A    Am                            G 
 All men are bored  with other men's lives 


   C              Dm    F          G 
 I listened and I heard music in a word, 
     C              Dm             F     G 
 and words when you played your guitar 
     Dm               Em 
 The noise that I was hearing 
       G              Am 
 was a million people cheering 
 G                        C/G         G7       C/G 
 And a child flew past me riding in a star 


    Am        C              Dm           G 
 We all know success when we all find our own dream 
         Am      C               Dm       G 
 And our love is enough to knock down any wall 
         Am            C       Dm         G 
 And the future's been seen as men try to realize 
 Am         Am7/A         Dm G       Am  Am7 
 The simple secret of the note in us all 

 Instrumental 

    Am     C      F    G 
 In us all... 


   C              Dm    F          G 
 I listened and I heard music in a word, 
     C              Dm             F     G 
 and words when you played your guitar 
     Dm               Em 
 The noise that I was hearing 
       G              Am 
 was a million people cheering 
 G                        C/G         G7       C/G 
 And a child flew past me riding in a star 


    Dm                Am            Am7 
 Today is the day when sound curdles mountains 
 G                        Dm7        G 
 Flowing and blowing each man it its wake 
     Am                Em            E 
 Destroying itself in the end with vibration 
 Fmaj7/A Am                                     G 
 There's nothing on earth its challenge can take
