IF I HAD A REASON
As recorded by Rory Gallagher
(From the 1973 Album BLUEPRINT)

[Intro]
E G#m C#m F#m E C#m B E

[Verse 1]
E B C#m F#m
If I had a reason I'd tell you what it is
E A F#m
Must I explain how I feel
E G#m C#m F#m
I've tried and I've tried to make it so clear
E C#m B E
But my time is just wasted I fear

[Verse 2]
E B C#m F#m
Well it's only an old song but it serves it's purpose well
E A F#m
By the cry in your voice I can tell
E G#m C#m F#m
When you sing there's a feeling behind the words
E C#m B E
That brings it all back again

[Bridge]
E B G#m B
I'm reaching, I'm reaching, while you slip away
B
I'm searching for words I can say
G#m B
I'm listening, I'm listening, tryin' not to hear
C#m B
You say that we might meet some day

[Verse 3]
B E B C#m F#m
There's a picture that's faded and curling from it's frame
E F#m G#m A F#m
Of a face that smiles patiently
E G#m C#m F#m
It might smile forever to make me feel better
E C#m B E
But I just might wait to see

[Piano Solo]
E B C#m F#m
E A F#m E
G#m C#m F#m
E C#m B E

[Bridge]
E B G#m B
I'm reaching, I'm reaching, while you slip away
B
I'm searching for words I can say
G#m B
I'm listening, I'm listening, tryin' not to hear
