                            "Pilgrims Progress"

                       (Matthew Fisher - Keith Reid)

  

  Verse 1:

  

  	(D)         G       Bm             Em     /D

  	 I sat me down to write a simple story

  	       C           G/B          Am7    /G

  	Which maybe in the end became a song

  	    D/F#     Dm/F     C/E               Ebdim

  	In trying to find the words which might begin it

  	   Em                    Am                   C     D

  	I found these were the thoughts I'd brought along

  

  Verse 2:

  

  	At first I sought to be an anchor

  	I gathered up my fears to ride me round

  	But then I clearly saw my own delusion

  	And found my struggles further brought me down

  

  Verse 3:

  

  	In starting out I thought to go exploring

  	And set my foot upon the nearest road

  	In vain I looked to find the promised turning

  	But only saw how far I was from home

  

  Bridge:

  

  	    D             D7/C               G/B       C G/B C G/B

  	In searching I forsook the paths of learning

  	 D           D7/C               G/B            C G/B C G/B

  	And sought instead to find some pirate's gold

  	    D             D7/C              G/B     C G/B C G/B

  	In fighting I did hurt those dearest to me

  	 C              G/B             Am7     Am7/G

  	Still no hidden truths could I unfold

  

  Instrumental break:

  

  	organ solo (chord progression as per last two lines of verse)

  

  Verse 4:

  

  	I sat me down to write a simple story

  	Which maybe in the end became a song

  	The words have all been read by one before me

  	We're taking turns in trying to pass them on

  	B7/D#       Em             Am7       Am7/D     G  [N.C.]

  	Oh,  we're taking turns in trying to pass them on

  

  Coda:

  

  	piano (chords and rests as indicated):

  

  	D        D/C       G/B       Am

  	/ } / }   / } / }   / } / }   / } / }

  

  	band enters; continue to fade:

  

  	D        D/C       G/B       Am/C

  	/  / /   / / / /   / / / /   / / / /
