All Just To Get To You
Joe Ely

INTRO (repeat):
G  G  F  C

G
I have stumbled on the plains - Staggered in the wind
G
Stood at a crossroad or two
D
Cried to a river - Swept to the sea
G               C  G
All just to get to you

I have flagged a yellow cab - Hopped a rusty freight
Sang till my lips turned blue
Flown a silver bird on the tops of the clouds
All just to get to you

CHORUS
  C               G                    C                G
I ran too hard, I played too rough - I gave my love not near enough
  C                G                  D  
I bled too red - I cried too blue - I beat my fist against the moon
D               C  G   G  G  F  C  
All just to get to you

I have run from St. Paul to Wichita Falls
Called you from sunny Baton Rouge
Hocked everything from my watch to my ring
All just to get to you

REPEAT CHORUS
BREAK: Bb  Bbsus (repeat four times) Am

From the California Shore where the mighty ocean roars
To the lands of the Hopi and the Sioux
I walked the desert sands - Crossed the Rio Grande
All just to get to you

REPEAT 1st VERSE THEN REPEAT CHORUS AND FADE ON

G           F   C  G
All just to get to you
