Chris Hillman    So Begins The Task   by  Stephen Stills

Rice/Hillman/Pedersen/Rice 

A                E             G           F#m              E 
And so begins the task I have dreaded  the coming of for so long
  A            E        G       F#m           E      
I wait for the sun to remind my body it needs resting
           Bm       D         A      E
And I must learn to live without you now
       Bm       D         A         E
I must learn to give only part somehow
A              E            G     F#m 
Camping on the edge of your city I wait
       D           A                    E
Hoping somehow you might see beyond yourself
    A              E       G            F#m
The shadows on the ceiling hard but not real
         D         A                 E
Like the bars that cage you within yourself
           Bm       D         A      E
And I must learn to live without you now
       Bm       D         A         E
I must learn to give only part somehow

SOLO
           Bm       D         A      E
And I must learn to live without you now
       Bm       D         A       E
I must learn to give only part somehow
A            E              G            F#m 
All of these cages must and shall be set aside
          D    A                E 
They will only keep us from the knowing
A          E          G               F#m
Actors and stages now fall before the truth
       D               A             E
As the love shared between  remains growing
           Bm       D         A      E
And I must learn to live without you now
       Bm       D         A         E
I must learn to give only part somehow
