Can You Hear Me Now?
Emmylou Harris
Key of G · Chords: I IV V vi
Open in Bluegrass Book: transpose, play alongVerse 1
G G O the walls are closin' in C I can feel it in my bones D Like water risin' up to my chin G Another long night to be alone G I could go out on the town C Talk too much and laugh too loud D If I'm already on my way down G I might as well just work the crowd
Chorus
C G Can you hear me now D Can you hear me now C G Can you hear me now D G Can you hear me now
Verse 2
G O the stories I could tell C Sometimes I really hit my stride D We make our own Heaven and our own Hell G Tryin' to get across to the other side G But everyday ends up the same C One step up, two steps back D Like some old silent movie frame G Zoom in close, then fade to black
Chorus
C G Can you hear me now D Can you hear me now C G Can you hear me now D G Can you hear me now
Bridge
C Em How did the load get to be so heavy G C I used to wear my troubie like a crown Em C A bad flood's poundin' on the levee G And l'm gonna need some help D To hold my ground
Verse 3
G But I'm sinkin' like a stone C To where in solitude this life I'll spend D In the coldest place I've ever known G I'm here just waitin' until the end G I send up my S.O.S. C A message in a bottle set out to sea D It just reads "Soul in distress" G But nobody ever got back to me
Chorus
C G Can you hear me now D Can you hear me now C G Can you hear me now D G Can you hear me now C G Can you hear me now D Can you hear me now C G Can you hear me now D G Can you hear me now
