The Who - Pure And Easy: chords

      C          G/C   F/C      G/C
There once was a note, pure and easy
  C          G/C        F/C     G/C      C
Playing so free like a breath, rippling by

    Fmaj7               Dm6
The note is eternal, I hear it, it sees me,
  Fmaj7                Dm6       C
Forever we blend as, forever we die

Chorus:
   C              Dm    F          G
I listened and I heard music in a word,
     C               Dm            F G
and words when you played your guitar
     Dm               Em            G              Am
The noise that I was hearing was a million people cheering
        G                 C/G         G7 C/G
And a child flew past me riding in a star

   Dsus4             D
As people assemble, civilization
     G               G7 C/G     G  G7 C/G G
Is trying to find a new way to die
     Am               Emsus4         E
But killing is really merely scene changer
Am               Dm/F                Am  Dm/F Fmaj7/A Am
All men are bored  with other men's lives

Chorus:
I listened and I heard music in a word
And words when you played your guitar
The noise that I was hearing was a million people cheering
And a child flew past me riding in a star

Gas on the hillside, oil in the teacup
Watch all the chords of life lose their joy
Distortion becomes somehow pure in its wildness
The note that began all can also destroy.

We all know success when we all find our own dream
And our love is enough to knock down any wall
And the future's been seen as men try to realize
The simple secret of the note in us all

Chorus:
I listened and I heard music in a word
And words when you played your guitar
The noise that I was hearing was a million people cheering
And a child flew past me riding in a star

There once was a note pure and easy
Playing so free like a breath rippling by

There once was a note - listen!
There once was a note - listen!
There once was a note - listen!
There once was a note - listen!
There once was a note - listen!
There once was a note - listen!
There once was a note - listen!
There once was a note - listen!
