Intro:   Riff  3x


	VERSE 1:
G                   C
  The painter stood,  before her work
G                         C
  She looked around every -where
G                              C            Am   D9/F#  G  
  She saw the pictures and she painted them  
G				   Am   F  D/F#  G      
  She picked the colors from the air 


	VERSE 2:
G                C
  Green to green, red to red
G                         C
  Yellow to yellow in the light
G                         C             Am   D9/F#  G 
  Black to black when the evening comes 
G                     Am     F   D/F#   G      
  Blue to blue in the night   


	INTRO


	CHORUS 1:
       G    C/G    D2/4   C    G      C/G    D2/4   C
It's a long road,            behind 
       G    C/G    D2/4       C1     D1
It's a long road,            ahead 
       Em               C                D     D1
If you follow every dream, you might get lost 
       Em               C     	 G       D     G
If you follow every dream, you might - get - lost  


	INTRO


	Verse 3:
G                    C
  She towed the line, she held her end up
G                         C
  She did the work of two men
G                     C         Am   D9/F#  G  
  But in the end, she fell down   
G                   Am     F   D/F#   G       
  Before she got up again    


	Verse 4:
G                   C
  I keep my friends, eternally
G                             C
  We leave our tracks in the sound
G                  C            Am   D9/F#  G  
  Some of them are with me now  
G                       Am     F   D/F#   G       
  Some of them can't be found 


	INTRO


		
	CHORUS 2:
       G    C/G    D2/4   C    G       C/G    D2/4   C
It's a long road,            behind me  
    G          C/G    D2/4        C1     D1
And I miss you now
       Em               C                D     D1
If you follow every dream, you might get lost 
       Em               C     	 G       D     G
If you follow every dream, you might - get - lost  


	INTRO

	VERSE 5:
G                C
  Green to green, red to red
G                         C
  Yellow to yellow in the light
G                         C             Am   D9/F#  G  
  Black to black when the evening comes  
G                          Am     F   D/F#   G
  Blue to blue through the night
