	  		Seals And Crofts - Advance Guards 
  
  
Intro: A 
  
          D                A 
I used to look out from my window 
            D                 A 
And see the tall grass in the wind 
         A7                D            Bm 
Standing there just like advance guards 
E               E7          A 
Waiting for the battle to begin 
  
  
          D               A 
My mother used to be much younger 
              D                A 
She'd sing me soft, sweet lullabies 
          A7             D     Bm 
I saw my fortress in the mountains 
E           E7              A 
Each time I looked into her eyes 
  
  
Chorus: 
  
But now she's gone 
D              G              D            A 
Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go 
D          G            D           A       D 
Take me, I just want to know what I used to know 
               G              D            A 
Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go 
D              G          D            A 
Take me there, take me, I just want to go 
  
  
            D                  A 
My father's hair has turned to grey now 
        D                  A 
I never stopped to ask him why 
            A7                  D       Bm  E 
And all the things that he once treasured 
           E7              A 
I see them slowly drifting by 
  
  
          D                A 
And now I look out from my mountain 
            D               A 
And see the soldiers in the field 
            A7                 D     Bm  E 
It won't be long now 'til they have me 
           E7                    A 
This time advance guards are for real 
  
  
Chorus: 
  
Come on, come on and 
D              G              D            A 
Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go 
D          G            D           A       D 
Take me, I just want to know what I used to know 
               G              D            A 
Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go 
D              G          D            A 
Take me there, take me, I just want to go 
  
  
Chorus: 
D              G              D            A 
Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go 
D          G            D           A       D 
Take me, I just want to know what I used to know 
               G              D            A 
Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go 
D              G          D            B 
Take me there, take me, I just want to go 
  
  
Chorus:      (## key change ##) 
E              A              E            B 
Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go 
E          A            E           B       E 
Take me, I just want to know what I used to know 
               A              E            B 
Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go 
E              A          E            B 
Take me there, take me, I just want to go 
  
  
Chorus:    (## fade to end ##) 
E              A              E            B 
Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go 
E          A            E           B       E 
Take me, I just want to know what I used to know 
               A              E            B 
Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go 
E              A          E            B 
Take me there, take me, I just want to go
