No Easy Way Down


No Easy Way Down (Goffin-King) This is my take on the arrangement from her 1970 Album writer and the song had previously been recorded by Dusty Springfield on the Dusty in Memphis Album. I did not know that Scott Walker/Engel had recorded it until I found the Tab on UG. I have changed the key to that of the recording (G major), and added her embellishments Intro G Bm7 Cmaj7 Am7/D (=D11) Verse 1 G Bm7 Cmaj7 Am7/D (=D11) Your toy balloon has sailed in the sky, love G Bm7 Cmaj7 Am7/D But now it must fall to the ground Gmaj9 Cmaj9 Gmaj9 Cmaj9 And your sad eyes reveal just how badly you feel G Bm7 Cmaj7 Bm7 Am7 Am7/D D7 And there is no easy way down Verse 2 The view from the cliffs must have been exciting And up to the peaks you were bound Now you're stranded alone and the path is unknown G Bm7 Cmaj7 Bm7 E7 EEF And there is no easy way down Bridge G F Am7/D G F Am7/D No,it isn't very easy,(BVno easy way down) when you're left on your own NEWD G F Am7/D G F No, it isn't very easy when each road you take is one more mistake Am7/D G F Am7/D Am7 Am7/D D7 And there's no-one to break you fall and leads you back home Verse 3 We all like to fly to the heights, love Where our fantasy worlds can be found You must know it's the end when it's time to descend And there is no easy way down G Bm7 Cmaj7 Bm7 E Emaj7 And there is no easy way down Outro (Key changes to A) Amaj7 Emaj7 repeat to fade Harder Chords D11 (notes D A C E G) Cmaj9 (Notes C E G B D)Fmaj9 (F A C E G) C maj7 (C E G B) Amaj7 (A C# E Ab) Emaj7 (E Ab B Eb)
