The Rope - The Emerson Letters This is the way I play this song, it could be slightly different. It is played a half step down I think, but I play it in standard most of the time. Am G F What good is a pen that will not write C F what good is a promise left unkept Am G F what good is an open evening sky C F if all the clouds refuse to rain chorus Dm C G I'm not at the end of my rope F Gsus G I'm steady in this ship to sail Dm C G if there's healing in an honest word F Gsus G if truth is like a soft kiss F C G then oh-oh-oh oh lord C Bm Am will this storm pass us over F C G oh-oh-oh oh lord C Bm Am will this storm pass us over G F halle lu-u-u-jah (no chord) so tell me Am G F are we not a breath are we not a mist C F I think that everybody here knows it Am G F so this time, as the season turns once again C F I'm pushing my soul, against this bitter cold Chorus Dm C G I'm not at the end of my rope F Gsus G I'm steady in this ship to sail Dm C G if there's healing in an honest word F Gsus G if truth is like a soft kiss F C G then oh-oh-oh oh lord C Bm Am will this storm pass us over F C G oh-oh-oh oh lord C Bm Am will this storm pass us over G F halle lu-u-u-jah F C hallelu-u-u ja-a-ah (I don't think the c is actually played, but i play it.)
