Author/Artist/Singer: Graham Parker
Music Title/Track: Partner For Life
Theme ID: 10714
Album: N/A


This is reported to be played with open tuning but what tuning
exactly I don't know. I have created a simple version which
gets me by. It involves sliding the Cadd 9 up but leaving
the other strings open. In the chorus there is a flourish
which I play as Em9 054030 and Em7(2) 050430 to get back

Intro: G repeated to get the rhythm

From the steel mills to the wind in your hair
From the claustrophobic beat of my heart
to the openness of your smile
We're in this together going the distance
right down to the last mile

CHORUS
G

And on the wall are paintings of couples intertwined
locked in embraces as if fighting for their lives
And the warm night air breathes through the open window
And husbands cling to their wives

CHORUS repeat

BRIDGE

030010 030030
C Cadd9 Cadd9(2)
why it just has to be just has to be

Well l know l know l know why
