Retrace - Gord Downie and The Country of Miracles
Standard tuning
C Cm7 F C x3
High as an elephant's [F]eye before we even l[C]eft,
and when the party had [F]died, and as we drank the r[C]est,
I r[Em]etrace my [Am]steps.
C Cm7 F C x3
Snowy basketball [F]court, the cold courthouse [C]steps,
hanging on every [F]word, hearing everything you [C]say as I r[Em]etrace my
[Am]steps.
As I [C]retrac[Em]e my [Am]steps,
[F]I retrace my [C]steps,
[Am]I wear a lonely [F]path, I retrace my step[G]s and b[C]ack.
C Cm7 F C x3
Woke up this afte[F]rnoon, a pale sun in the [C]west.
I haven't left my [F]room. I haven't taken a s[C]tep, as I r[Em]etrace my
[Am]steps.
As I r[C]etra[Em]ce my s[Am]teps,
[F]I retrace my [C]steps [Am]until no trace rem[F]ains and I'll retrace my [G]steps
[Am]again.
[F]I'll retrace my [C]steps though I [Am]know we're all saying '[F]Goodbye'.
You know, I'"ll retrace my s[G]teps again, toni[C]ght. Tonight.
