In The Passage

in the passage is played on piano , so to emulate the sound on guitar , i recommend fingerpicking . i won’t be covering the solos or the fingerpicking patterns , but they’re fairly easy to figure out if you know the chords . Intro : C A# C A# C A# C A# F Am G C A# there’s a ring around the moon tonight C A# and a chill in the air C A# C - F Am G and a fire in the stars that hang so near , so near C A# C A# there’s a sound in the wind that blows through the wild mountain holds C A# C F Am G like the sighs of a thousand crying souls , crying souls fill : F G there’s a time when the traveler is fated to find that insight has turned his gaze behind , behind and the steps taken yesterday will beckon again and lead to his weary journey’s end , his journey’s end ( Chorus ) F G Em Am - G and in the passage from the cradle to the grave F G Em Am - G we are born , madly dancing F G Em Am rushing headlong through the crashing of the days A# F G we run on and on without a backwards glance A# F G we run on and on without a backwards glance Am G Am Em Am i cast my fate with the wife of lot i turned my gaze around Am G F G knowing neither what i sought nor what was to be found Am G Am Em Am heeding weakness , feeding strength , oh life at length is frail Am G F i seek again the river’s source through time’s dark shadowed veil Solo : C A# C A# C A# F Am G in the fast fading century , as we spin through the years i pray that our failing vision clears , our vision clears ( Chorus ) the places dash and the faces dart like fishes in a dream hiding ’neath the murky banks of long forgotten streams the lines of life are never long when seen from end to end the future’s never coming , and the past has never been there’s a ring around the moon tonight , and a chill in the air and a fire in the stars that hang so near , so near
