Keep Me From Blowing Away chords by Linda Ronstadt

Tuning: Standard EBGDAE

Difficulty: Novice

C          Cmaj7     Am7       C6
I've spent my whole lifetime in a world where the sunshine
   F      Em     Dm
made excuses for not hanging 'round
   G      F       Em      Dm  Dm7
I've squandered emotions on the slightest of notions
     G     G7      C
and the first easy loving I've found
C      Cmaj7      Am7      C6
Soon all the good times, the gay times and play times
   F      Em     Dm  Dm7
like colors run together and fade
   G     F     Em      Dm
Oh Lord if you hear me, touch me and hold me
   G     F     Em      Dm
and keep me from blowing away

[instrumental break then modulate to D]
     D          Dmaj7     Bm7     D6
There've been times that I've trembled and my mind's remembered
   G       F#m   Em  Em7
the days that just crumbled away
   A      G       F#m     Em
With nothing to show but these lines that I know
   A           D
are beginning to show in my face
  D       Dmaj7      Bm7      D6
So Lord if you're listenin' you know I'm no christian
   G        F#m   Em  Em7
and I ain't got much coming to me
       A     G     F#m      Em
But won't you send down some sunshine, throw out a lifeline
   G     A     D
And keep me from blowing away
 A     G     F#m      Em
Lord if you hear me, touch me and hold me,
   G    A      G   D
