"Pilgrims Progress"

(Matthew Fisher - Keith Reid)

Verse 1:

I sat me down to write a simple story

Which maybe in the end became a song

In trying to find the words which might begin it

I found these were the thoughts I'd brought along

Verse 2:

At first I sought to be an anchor

I gathered up my fears to ride me round

But then I clearly saw my own delusion

And found my struggles further brought me down

Verse 3:

In starting out I thought to go exploring

And set my foot upon the nearest road

In vain I looked to find the promised turning

But only saw how far I was from home

Bridge:

In searching I forsook the paths of learning

And sought instead to find some pirate's gold

In fighting I did hurt those dearest to me

Still no hidden truths could I unfold

Instrumental break:

organ solo (chord progression as per last two lines of verse)

Verse 4:

I sat me down to write a simple story

Which maybe in the end became a song

The words have all been read by one before me

We're taking turns in trying to pass them on

Oh, we're taking turns in trying to pass them on

Coda:

piano (chords and rests as indicated):

/ } / } / } / } / } / } / } / }

band enters; continue to fade:

/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
