SONG: THE END OF THE BEGINNING ARTIST: JOHN FLYNN featuring KRIS KRISTOFFERSON TAB BY: DON CZARSKI EMAIL: [email protected] THE END OF THE BEGINNING JOHN FLYNN featuring KRIS KRISTOFFERSON NOTE: When playing the song make sure to move your fingers around to form chords based on the A G nd D chords. They would then be chords like Dsus2, Dsus4 etc. That is how John Flynn gets that distinct sound. ============================= INTRO: (BASED ON THE D CHORD - DO THE FOLLOWING) D D E -0h2-0-2----0h2-0-2---- B ---------3----------3-- G ----------------------- D ----------------------- A ----------------------- E ----------------------- VERSE: D G D Like river stone it may be that some edges get worn smooth A Or maybe it’s just these days you don’t have as much to prove D G D So try to pick your battles ‘cause some fights just ain’t worth winning A D When you reach the end of the beginning VERSE: D G D Dwelling on the tears to being thankful for the smiles A The journey of a single step can begin with a thousand miles D You ain’t sure where your going, G D But you’re making good time grinning A D When you reach the end of the beginning CHORUS: A G D Oh, the journey you make A G A From the first breath you take A G D ‘Til your last dying day Em A And the mystery takes your breath away VERSE: D G D Ain’t much can’t get settled sitting down over a cold one A You got no time to pick a grudge up, let alone to hold one D G D You’ve seen desperados genuflect and caught the sainted sinning A D When you reach the end of the beginning VERSE: D G D You might regret mistakes you made but don’t mistake regrets A For turning from those lucky stars you ain’t done thanking yet D G D Or old friends you can count on even though their ranks are thinning A D When you reach the end of the beginning CHORUS: A G D Oh. the journey you make A G A From the first breath you take A G D On your last dying day Em A And mystery takes your breath away VERSE: D G D You’ve got so much to tell them that you don’t know where to start A And you can’t always find the words to say what’s in your heart D G D So you love them just as hard as you can hope this old world keeps spinning A D When you reach the end of the beginning VERSE/OUTRO: D G D Like river stone it may be that some edges get worn smooth A Or maybe it’s just these days you don’t have as much to prove D So try to pick your battles G D ‘Cause some fights are still worth winning A G D When you reach the end of the beginning
