The Rope - The Emerson Letters
This is the way I play this song, it could be slightly different.
It is played a half step down I think, but I play it in standard most of the time.
What good is a pen that will not write
what good is a promise left unkept
what good is an open evening sky
if all the clouds refuse to rain
chorus
I m not at the end of my rope
I m steady in this ship to sail
if there s healing in an honest word
if truth is like a soft kiss
then oh-oh-oh oh lord
will this storm pass us over
oh-oh-oh oh lord
will this storm pass us over
halle lu-u-u-jah
(no chord) so tell me
are we not a breath are we not a mist
I think that everybody here knows it
so this time, as the season turns once again
I m pushing my soul, against this bitter cold
Chorus
I m not at the end of my rope
I m steady in this ship to sail
if there s healing in an honest word
if truth is like a soft kiss
then oh-oh-oh oh lord
will this storm pass us over
oh-oh-oh oh lord
will this storm pass us over
halle lu-u-u-jah
hallelu-u-u ja-a-ah (I don t think the c is actually played, but i play it.)
