Golden Moments
Words & Music by James Taylor
(c) 1976, 1980 Country Road Music

       A/D           D                C/F
Now if all my golden moments could be rolled into one
           D                   A/D      C/D
they would shine just like the sun on a summer day
D   G     Em7    A7sus4 A#dim7    Bm              C/D
And after it was over    we could have it back again
D    G      Em7    A7sus4 A#dim7     Bm               D/E E      D/E E
with credit to the editor        for striking out the rain, very clean
    G      Em7    A7sus4 A#dim7          Bm              Csus2
And all it really needed         was the proper point of view
C/F                     A/D   C/F                    C/D
No one's gonna bring me down. No one's gonna stop me now

       A/D           D             C/F
Now I gathered up my sorrows and I sold them all for gold
      D               A/D        C/D                  D
and I gathered up the gold and I threw it all away
D  G        Em7   A7sus4 A#dim7   Bm              C/D D
It all went for a good time and a song, come on
D    G      Em7    A7sus4 A#dim7     Bm             D/E E      D/E E
But laughter was like music;  it did float my soul along for a while
    G      Em7    A7sus4 A#dim7          Bm              Csus2
And all it really needed was the proper point of view
C/F                     A/D   C/F                    C/D
No one's gonna reach me here. No one's gonna know I'm gone

         A/D             D           C/F
You may think I might be crazy and I guess you might be right
      D              A/D           C/D
but I know the way I feel today is out of sight
D G      Em7        A7sus4 A#dim7    Bm              C/D D
I do not trust your senses        to remember your name
    G      Em7     A7sus4 A#dim7            Bm              D/E E  D/E E
Without corrective lenses        things are never twice the same
    G      Em7    A7sus4 A#dim7          Bm              Csus2
And all it really needed was the proper point of view
C/F                     A/D   C/F                    A/D
No one's gonna bring me down. No one's gonna stop me now.
C/F                     A/D   C/F                    A/D
No one's gonna reach me here. No one's gonna know I'm gone.
