Song: The Promise
By: Tracy Chapman
Album: New Beginnings
I haven't yet had the time to write down how it is picked,
but you can figure it out by ear without much trouble.
capo on 4th fret
INTRO: / (repeat)
VERSE:
/
If you wait for me
Then I'll come for you
Although I've travelled far
C#m Dmaj7 D E7 A -- repeat intro chords twice
I always hold a place for you in my heart
(repeat verse chords)
If you think of me
If you miss me once in a while
Then I'll return to you
I'll return and fill that space in your heart
CHORUS:
Remembering your touch, your kiss, your warm embrace,
I'll find my way back to you
Dmaj7 E E7 A -- repeat intro as before
If you'd be waiting
VERSE:
If you dream of me
Like I dream of you
In a place that's warm and dark
In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart
Oh I've longed for you
And I have desired
To see your face, your smile
To be with you wherever you are
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE:
I've longed for you
And I have desired
To see your face your smile
To be with you wherever you are
LAST CHORUS:
Remembering your touch, your kiss, your warm embrace,
I'll find my way back to you
Please say you'll be waiting
FINALE:
Together again, it would feel so good to be
In your arms Where all my journeys end
If you can make a promise If it's one that you can keep
/ /
I vow to come for you If you wait for me
And say you'll hold
A place for me in your heart
(sing last line three times over intro chords and quit)
