HELPLESSLY HOPING  (Crosby, Stills & Nash)
 
 
INTRO:  Am7  C  G  D
 
 
Am                     C                    G               D
Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers near-by, awaiting a word.
Am                      C                     G                     D
Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit he runs wishing he could fly
         Am           C            G   D  
Only to trip at the sound of good-bye..
Am                       C                      G                            D
Wordlessly watching he waits by the window and wonders at the empty place inside
Am                      C                         G                         D
Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams he worries did he hear a goodbye 
   Am   C       G  C/G    
or even...  hello? 


         G         
They are one person, they are two a-lone, they are three to-gether, 
          G   G7      C     G
they are for...  each other  


Am                           C 
Stand by the starway you'll see something certain
    G                          D
to tell you confusion has its cost.
Am                     C                   G                      D
Love isn't lying it's loose in a lady who lingers, saying she is lost 
     Am     C        G   C/G
and choking... on hello.   


         G         
They are one person, they are two a-lone, they are three to-gether, 
          G   G7      C     G
they are for...  each other
