Chords for Gregg Allman Song For Adam with Lyrics in Description

[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Though Adam [D] was a friend of [G] mine, I did not know him well.
[D] He [F#m] was [Bm] alone and to [D] his [G] distance, he was deep into his well.
_ [D] I [F#m] could guess [Bm] what he [D] was laughing [G] at, but I couldn't really tell.
[Bm] Now the story's told that Adam [G] jumped, but I'm hoping [Bm] that he fell.
_ [Bm] Together [D] we went traveling [G] as we received the call.
[D] His [Bm] destination, [G] India, and I hadn't run it long.
[D] But I still [Bm] remember [D]
[G] laughing with our backs up against the wall.
[D] So free [Bm] of fear, [D] we never [G] thought that one of us [D] might fall.
[G] I sit before [D] my only candle, _ [G] but there's so little light [D] to find my way.
_ [G] Now the story [Bm] unfolds before my candle, [D] which is shorter every [A] hour
There's a reason for the [Bm] days, but I feel just like a [G] candle in every way.
But [D] I guess I'll get there, I [A] wouldn't say _ [G] for sure. _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[D] When _ [A] _ _ [Bm] we [D] parted, we were still [G] laughing as our goodbyes [Bm] were said.
And [D] I [Bm] never heard [D] from him again [G] as each our lives we led.
[D] _ Except [Bm] for once in someone [G] else's letter that I read.
[Bm] Until I [D] heard the sudden [G] word that a friend [Bm] of mine was [G] dead.
I sit before [D] my only candle, _ [G] _
like a pilgrim sits [D] before the way.
_ [G] Now his turn he appears [Bm] before my candle, [D] as the song that's growing stranger [A] the harder I [Bm] play.
But I feel just like a [G] candle in every way.
[D] Guess I'll get there, [A] I wouldn't say _ _ [G] for sure.
_ [D] _ _ _ Can't [G] say for sure.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [Bm] Oh Adam [D] was a friend of mine, [G] I did not know [D] him long.
And when [Bm] I stood myself [D] behind, [G] I never felt so strong.
[D] _
[A] [D] Still it seemed he [Bm] stopped singing [D] [G] in the middle of his song.
[Em] I [Bm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ [Bm] _ [A] _
[G] _ sit before [D] my only candle, _
_ [G] like a pilgrim sits [D] before the way. _ _
[G] _ I'm holding [Bm] out my only candle, _
[D] as the song that's growing [A] stranger the harder I [Bm] play.
But I feel just like a [G] candle in every way.
But I guess [D] I'll get there, I [A] wouldn't say _ [G] for sure.
_ _ [D] _ _ _
Can't [G] say for sure.
[D] _ _ _
Can't [G] say for sure.
[D] _ _ _ _
_ [G] Can't say for sure.
