"Pilgrims Progress"
                     (Matthew Fisher - Keith Reid)

Verse 1:

        (D)         G       Bm             Em     /D
         I sat me down to write a simple story
               C           G/B          Am7    /G
        Which maybe in the end became a song
            D/F#     Dm/F     C/E               Ebdim
        In trying to find the words which might begin it
           Em                    Am                   C     D
        I found these were the thoughts I'd brought along

Verse 2:

        At first I sought to be an anchor
        I gathered up my fears to ride me round
        But then I clearly saw my own delusion
        And found my struggles further brought me down

Verse 3:

        In starting out I thought to go exploring
        And set my foot upon the nearest road
        In vain I looked to find the promised turning
        But only saw how far I was from home

Bridge:

            D             D7/C               G/B       C G/B C G/B
        In searching I forsook the paths of learning
         D           D7/C               G/B            C G/B C G/B
        And sought instead to find some pirate's gold
            D             D7/C              G/B     C G/B C G/B
        In fighting I did hurt those dearest to me
         C              G/B             Am7     Am7/G
        Still no hidden truths could I unfold

Instrumental break:

        organ solo (chord progression as per last two lines of verse)

Verse 4:

        I sat me down to write a simple story
        Which maybe in the end became a song
        The words have all been read by one before me
        We're taking turns in trying to pass them on
        B7/D#       Em             Am7       Am7/D     G  [N.C.]
        Oh,  we're taking turns in trying to pass them on

Coda:

        piano (chords and rests as indicated):

        D        D/C       G/B       Am
        / } / }   / } / }   / } / }   / } / }

        band enters; continue to fade:

        D        D/C       G/B       Am/C
        /  / /   / / / /   / / / /   / / / /
