I'm Not There

Intro:  G  C/G  G  C/G

                  G
Ev'ry thing's all right and then she's

                   F
all the time in my neighborhood

               Am
She cries both day and night

           G             C/G  G  C/G  G
I know it 'cause she was there

       G
It's a milestone

          F
but she's down on her luck

        Am
And the day makes her lonely

            G
and it's so hard to buck

         C/G  G  C/G  G
...I was there

    C
I believe that she'd stop him

          Em
Where she once stopped to care

    F
I believe that she'd look upon

    C
beside 'em and care

        F                       C
And I'd go by her now and she's on my way

              G    C/G  G  C/G  G
But I don't belong there

     G
No I don't belong to her

          F
I don't belong to anybody

         Am
She's my prize forsaken angel

              G
But she don't hear me cry

        G
She's a lone-hearted mystic

        F
And she can carry on

         Am
When I'm there, she's all right

          G            C/G  G  C/G
But she's not when I'm gone

       C
Heaven knows she's the answer

    Em
she don't call on no one

        F
She's a wave, a thing of beauty

      C
she's mine for the one

        C
And I'm not hesitating

       Em
by temptation lest it runs

              F
But she don't follow me

            G          C/G  G  C/G  G
but I'm not there, I'm gone

         G
Now I'll cry tonight

       F
Like I cried the night before

         Am
And I'll feast on her eyes but

     G
I'll dream about the door

   G
So long, Jesus, savior

      F
Blind faith worth to tell

         Am
It don't have consolation

         G             C/G  G  C/G  G
she's my love far thee well

    C
Her smile is contagious

      Em
I was born to love her

        F
But she knows that the kingdom waits

   C
so high above her

      C
And I run but I race

         Em
but it's not too fast or soon

     F
I'll try and not deceive her

        G          C/G  G  C/G  G
I'm not there, I'm gone

     G
It's all about confusion

      F
and I cry for her pale

        Am
I don't need anybody now

  G
beside me to tell

           G
Cause it's all affirmation

       F
I've received but it's not

  Am
I wish I was beside

            G         C/G  G  C/G  G
but I'm not there I'm gone

Yes, she s gone like
