  Here's a nice tune by Eric Andersen off his "Stages: The Lost Tracks" album.

  Solo guitar accompaniment won't quite capture all the beauty of this one,

  without the piano, mandolin, and nice harmonies by Shawn Colvin on

  the actual recording.

  

  

  

                                 MAKE IT LAST

                          

                                (Eric Andersen)

  

  

  Guitar: Capo III

  

  Intro: G C G C F G C

  

  

  verse 1:

  

  C             G     C

  It's 2 am and pitch black

           F             C

  And I've got so far to go

                       F        C

  My hands are hangin' from the wheel

         G            F    G

  But my mind it only roams

      C               G        C

  The sun went down behind the hills

          F                  D7

  And the miles are draggin' past

       C             D7

  This highway rolls forever

          F      G       C

  But I'm comin' home at last

  

  Refrain:

  

  C            G

  Make it last

            F                

  I want to feel the mornin' come

          C    G

  Make it last

            F               G

  I want to see the mornin' sun

    C

  I want to fly

          F

  Like an angel in the wind

          C    G

  Make it last

           F       G    C

  'til I'm in your arms again

  

  verse 2:  (same chords as verse 1)

  

  By the highway is a diamond

  Glowin' in the night

  All along the dark horizon

  First sign and crack of light

  Up the road I see a hotel

  Better pull in off the line

  Tomorrow seems forever

  But I'll make it home on time

  

  Repeat refrain.

  

  Am                C

  Ridin' 'neath the shotgun moon

      F                 Dm7

  The clouds watch from above

  C                   G

  The things we do to keep this life

  C                    F

  The things we do for love

  Am                      C

  The chain they call the highway

      F               Dm7

  Can nail you like a stone

         C              G

  What I wouldn't do to have one hour

     F       G   C         

  To be with you alone

  

  Repeat refrain.

  

  Up ahead I see a woman

  I can see her silhouette

  It's 4 am, the lights are out

  I can see the empty bed

  She's starin' out the window

  She puts out a cigarette

  The night rolls on forever

  Like the prairies in the West

  

  Repeat refrain.
