One Safe Place

Marc Cohn

Text File

Taken from a couple of live versions, so it may vary.

Capo 5th fret

Chords used:

Cadd9: X32030
G: 320030
Dsus2: XX0230

Intro/Chorus: Cadd9 G Dsus2

The picking pattern has a couple of variations, but its mostly based around this. 
Some notes are added or not played (the note on the D string in the Cadd9 and G chords 
experiment a bit, you can't go far wrong using the chord patterns.

e|----------------------------------0------------------|
B|--------3------------3--------3-----3------3---------|
G|------0---0--------0---0--------2-----2------2---0---|
D|----2-------2----0-------0--0------------------0-----|
A|--3--------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------3-------------------------------------|

Verse:

The verse also uses variations on a similar pattern, usually consisting of one of these 
of a mix of the two:

e|-----------------------------------------------------------|
B|----3-----------3-----------3--1p0--3----------------------|
G|----0--0---0----0--0---0----0--0----2---2h4--2p0-----------|
D|---------2-----------2--------------0---0------------------|
A|--3-----------3--------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------3--------------------------------|

or

e|-------------------------------------------------------|
B|----3-----------3-----------3-----------3--------------|
G|----0--0---0----0--0---0----0--0---0----2--2---0-------|
D|---------0-----------0-----------0----0------0---------|
A|--3-----------3----------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------3----------------------------|


There is also a small bridge part after the chorus sometimes which I think goes 
like:

e|----------------------------------------|
B|------------3--3------3---3-----3-------|
G|--0--0------2-----2---------2-----------|
D|--0--2--0---0-------0---0-----0---------|
A|--2--3--0-------------------------------|
E|--------2-------------------------------|

Cadd9                 G       Dsus2
How many roads you�ve traveled

Cadd9                  G       Dsus2
How many dreams you�ve chased

Cadd9                   G       Dsus2
Across sand and sky and gravel

                      Cadd9     G       Dsus2
Looking for one safe place, yeah, hey yeah


          Cadd9     G        Dsus2
One safe place, yeah, hey yeah

Will you make a smoother landing
When you break your fall from grace
Into the arms of understanding
Looking for one safe place, yeah, hey yeah
One safe place, yeah, hey yeah

Oh life is trial by fire
And love�s the sweetest taste
And I pray it lifts us higher
To one safe place, yeah, hey yeah

How many roads we�ve traveled
How many dreams we�ve chased
Across sand and sky and gravel
Looking for one safe place, yeah, hey yeah
One safe place, yeah, hey yeah

Thats the whole song. Comments or corrections are welcome, enjoy.
