Promise
by Jerry Jeff Walker


G            G/B
Harmony gets melody
Am             Am/C
Orchestra gets symphony
G              Em
Continents get seven seas.....
Am                                Dm7      Em7
Boy gets girl and all you got was me and a promise
     Dm7       Em7
I'll try to be honest
Dm7         Am                  G7  G
I'd like to give you nothing to fear


      Bb               
Where we could grow into a circle
                   Gb
Big enough to understand everyone
                                 D 
We'd be the first....we'd be the only ones
       C        
In the Galaxy 
   Bb     Ab       G      Em   Am   D
To really be.......free.................
 
 
Lovers get I'm sorry
Music gets to keep the key
Children get to ride for free
Mind and body...that's all you've got of me
And a promise
I'll try to be honest
I'd like to give you nothing to fear
 
Repeat Chorus -
 
Where we can grow into a circle
Big enough to understand everyone
We'd be the first....we'd be the only ones
In the Galaxy to really be free........
I promise
 
Note the first chorus (where we COULD grow into a circle) vs the second chorus (where we CAN grow into a circle).
