  TAKE A GIANT STEP- Taj Mahal

  

  Drop E down to D (DADGBE)

  

      D

  Though you failed at love and lost

       D/C

  And sorrow's turned your heart to frost

  D/B                      D

  I will mend your heart again

  Remember the feeling as a child

  When you woke up and morning smiled

  Its time its time its time you felt like that again

  

  CHORUS:

    D                  C            D             C

  There is just no percentage in remembering the past

        D                   C                   G   B

  Its time you learned to live again and love at last

     G                                                D

  Come with me leave your yesterday your yesterday behind

        G                             D

  And take a giant step outside your mind

  

  You stare at me with disbelief

  You say for you there's no relief

  But girl I swear it won't do you no harm

  Don't sit there in your lonely room

  Just looking back inside that gloom

  Mama that's not were you belong

  

  Come with me I'll take you where the taste of life is green

  N' Everyday everyday hold on woman just got to be seen

  Come with me leave your yesterday your yesterday behind

  And take a giant step outside your mind

  

  FIRST VERSE, CHORUS

  

  

  NOTE: This song really needs two guitars to give it justice, but I've 

  worked it out here for one.  

  For the verse chords, there is a little riff to play on each, on 

  the first string.  Something like this:

  

  E ---2-0h2-3-2-0-2---2-0h2-3-2-0-2---2-0h2-3-2-0-2----

  B ---3-3---3-3-3-3---3-3---3-3-3-3---3-3---3-3-3-3----

  G ---2-2---2-2-2-2---0-0---0-0-0-0---0-0---0-0-0-0----

  D ----------------------------------------------------

  A -----------------3---------------2------------------

  D -0-----------------------------------------------0--

  

  D: 0 0 0 2 3 2  G:   5 0 0 0 0 3  C:   x 3 2 0 1 0

  B: x 2 4 4 4 2  D/C: 0 3 0 0 3 2  D/B: 0 2 0 0 3 2
