Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Call (Gene MacLellan)
Pages of Time
(chords are guesses based on distant memory and lower case is base runs if you'd like that -- I think Gene has some finger wizardry going on in there)
(e f# g#) A E
If I could turn back the pages of time
A
If I could bring back the love that once was mine
A7
And if the crying that I do
D B
Was a pathway back to you
E A
Surely I could turn back the pages of time
--> Bridge
E
The pages of time have built a wall
A
So wide and so tall
B
I can't break through
E
No matter what I do
(f#) (g#) A E
If lov - in' you was a key to the past
A
And happiness was a thing that could last
A7 D B (Bm?)
And if the crying that I do, was a pathway back to you
E A
Surely I could turn back the pages of time
--> Bridge x2
