January Song (Alan Hull) from: Fog on the Tyne ------------ INTRO: G 2 x 1.) I'm feeling rather sorry for a man I know, G* Am7 G F* F the world he holds in trembling hands is asking where to go. Cmaj7 C G D7 And as he stares out at me from the mirrored wall, G* Am7 G F* F I see that he is trying to cry, but the tears they will not fall. Cmaj7 C G E7 His life is passing by behind his tired eyes, C D7 Like the colours in a January sky. G C D7 2.) Useless it is the question things concerning the past, G* Am7 G F* F it seems so very obvious that nothing at all can last. Cmaj7 C G D7 And just as sure as tomorrow will soon be yesterday, G* Am7 G F* F The love you thought you occupied will surely drift away. Cmaj7 C G E7 But I need you to help me carry on. C D You need me need you need him need ev'ryone. G C D7 3.) And love is such a small word for something that is so vast, G* Am7 G F* F but in it lies the future, the present and the past. Cmaj7 C G D7 And speaking now of changes, I sometimes feel the fear, G Am7 G F* F that the reason for the meaning will even disappear. Cmaj7 C G E7 I need you to help me carry on. C D7 You need me need you need him need ev'ryone. G C D7 You need me need you need him need ev'ryone. ( Repeat as much as you like ) G C D7 G* F* Cmaj7 e ---3---|-------|------- B ---3---|-------|------- G -------|---2---|------- D -------|---3---|---2--- A ---2---|---3---|---3--- E ---3---|---1---|---3---
