SO BEGINS THE TASK- Stephen Stills
C G Bb6 Am Gsus G Gsus G
C G Bb6 Am G Gsus G Gsus G
And so begins the task I have dreaded the coming of for so long
C G Bb6 Am G Gsus G Gsus G
I wait for the sun to remind my body it needs resting

CHORUS #1:
Dm Fsus2 C G
And I must learn to live without you now
Dm Fsus C G Gsus G Gsus G
I must learn to give only part somehow
C G Bb6 Am
Camping on the edge of your city, I wait
F C G Gsus G Gsus G
Hoping someday you might see beyond yourself
C G Bb6 Am
The shadows on the ceiling; hard, but not real
F C G Gsus G Gsus G
Like the bars that cage you within yourself ...CHORUS #1
SOLO
CHORUS #2:
And I must learn to live without you now
As I can not learn to give only part somehow
All of these cages must and shall be set aside
They will only keep us from knowing
Actors and stages now bow before the truth
And the love shared between remains strong ...CHORUS #2
