Seals And Crofts - Advance Guards
Intro: A
D A
I used to look out from my window
D A
And see the tall grass in the wind
A7 D Bm
Standing there just like advance guards
E E7 A
Waiting for the battle to begin
D A
My mother used to be much younger
D A
She'd sing me soft, sweet lullabies
A7 D Bm
I saw my fortress in the mountains
E E7 A
Each time I looked into her eyes
Chorus:
But now she's gone
D G D A
Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go
D G D A D
Take me, I just want to know what I used to know
G D A
Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go
D G D A
Take me there, take me, I just want to go
D A
My father's hair has turned to grey now
D A
I never stopped to ask him why
A7 D Bm E
And all the things that he once treasured
E7 A
I see them slowly drifting by
D A
And now I look out from my mountain
D A
And see the soldiers in the field
A7 D Bm E
It won't be long now 'til they have me
E7 A
This time advance guards are for real
Chorus:
Come on, come on and
D G D A
Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go
D G D A D
Take me, I just want to know what I used to know

Take me there, take me there, I don't care where we go

Take me there, take me, I just want to go
