It all Fades Away
from the musical The Bridges of Madison County
by Jason Robert Brown

N.C.
There was something in a desert.
There was some place wild and green,
And a child in a village I passed through.
There are places that I've traveled,
And so many things I've seen,
And it all fades away but you.

D
I was sliding down a mountain,
G
I was burning in the sun,
D A
I was crying with amazement at the view.
D
I was capturing a moment,
G
But when all is said and done,
D A(7) D
Well, it all fades away but you.
(D) G Em F#m
It all fades away, it all fades away,
G A(7) D
It all fades away but you.
D G D G
(mandolin interlude)
D
I have sailed across the oceans,
G
Past the cities and the farms,
D A
On a never ending quest for something new,
D
And the only things that mattered
G
Were the four days in your arms,
D A(7) D
And it all fades away but you.
(D) G Em F#m
It all fades away, it all fades away,
G A(7) D
It all fades away but you.
D G D A D G D A(7) D
(mandolin interlude)
D G Em F#m G A D
Dah Dah Dah...
D G Em F#m G A (A)
Dah Dah Dah...
D
There is one thing that's eternal,
G
That cannot be torn apart,
D A
There is one thing that remains forever true.
D
Past the thinking, past the breathing,
G
Past the beating of my heart,
D A(7) D
It will all fade away but you.
(D) G Em F#m
It all fades away, it all fades away,
G A(7) D
It all fades away but you.
(D) G Em F#m
It all fades away, it all fades away,
G A(7) (ext. meas.) D
It all fades away ..... but you.
G
But you.
D
But you.
G
D
You.
