  THESE DAYS IN AN OPEN BOOK (Nanci Griffith)

  -------------------------------------------

  [Capo 2; open G tuning (DGDGBD).]

  [Note that Bm(G) probably isn't a good name for a chord; it's just my

   shorthand for "Bm(addG)."]

  [G=x00000; Gsus/A=x20010; Am11=x22010; Bm(G)=x44030; Csus2=x50030;

   Dsus=x20030; C/G=x02010; D/G=x04030; Gsus=x00010; G/B=x40000.]

  [Each chord, or group of chords joined by a hyphens (e.g., "Csus2 - Dsus")

   is one measure; listen to the recording to get the rhythm.]

  

  G    Gsus/A    Am11 - Bm(G)   Csus2 - Dsus

  [intro]

  

  G                            Gsus

    Shut it down and call this road a day

                C/G     -     D/G   -   C/G        G  -  Gsus

  And put this silence in my heart in a better place

          G                                   Gsus

  I had travelled with your ghosts now for so many years

          Am11     -      Bm(G)     Csus2     -      G/B

  That I see you in the shadows, in hotel rooms and headlights

  Gsus/A        -       G/B                 Csus2 - G/B  -  Gsus/A

    You're coming up beside me whether it's day or night

  

  G                Gsus/A

    These days my life is an open book

       G/B   -    Csus2           G

  Missing pages I cannot seem to find

  G                  Gsus/A

    These days your face in my memory

         G/B      -      Csus2               (G)

  Is in a folded hand of grace against these times

  G       Gsus/A    Am11 - Bm(G)   Csus2  -    G - Dsus

  (..times) [similar to intro]

  

  No one's ever come between your memory and me

  I have driven this weary vessel here alone

  Will you still find me if I leave you here beside this road

  'Cause I need someone who can touch me, who'll put no one above me

  Someone who needs me like the air he breathes

  

  These days my life is an open book

  Missing pages I cannot seem to find

  These days your face in my memory

  Is in a folded hand of grace against these times

  

  Csus2    -    G/B             Gsus/A    -     G/B

    I can't remember where this toll road goes

  Csus2    -   G/B                      Gsus/A     -     G/B

    Maybe it's Fort Worth, maybe it's a heart of gold

  Csus2     -    G/B            Gsus/A

    The price of love is such a heavy toll

             Gsus/A         -        G/B        Csus2      -     G/B

  That I've lived my life in the backroads with your love in my pocket

       Gsus/A          -           G/B      Csus2    -    G/B  -  Gsus/A

  If I spend the love you gave me, tell me, where will it go?

  

  These days my life is an open book

  Missing pages I cannot seem to find

  These days your face in my memory

  Is in a folded hand of grace against these times (time...)

  

  G                  Gsus/A

    These days your face in my memory

           G/B      -      Csus2

    Is in a folded hand of grace against these

  G/B       -        Csus2

    Folded hand of grace of mine

  G/B       -        Csus2             (G)

    Folded hand of grace against these times

  G       Gsus/A    Gsus/A - G/B    Csus2 - G/B - Gsus/A    G.

  (..times) [ending]
