Dr. Dog

Distant Light

by Dr. Dog
Dr. Dog

Biography:

Dr. Dog is a indie rock group from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania which formed in 1999. The current lineup consists of Scott "Taxi" McMicken (vocals, guitar), Toby "Tables" Leaman (vocals, bass), Zach "Text" Miller (keyboards, guitar), Frank "Thanks" McElroy (guitar) and Eric "Teach" Slick (drums).

"There's a little folk, blues, indie rock, soul, bluegrass--and a whole lot of down-home harmonizing. It conjures images of old friends sitting on a porch swapping instruments and just letting the tape recorder run." - Doug Wallen

[Intro]
Fm Fm7 Eb Cm C C7 F

[Verse 1]
Bb F
The man appeared to me inside that yellow wood.
Bb F
I'd carved his name in the dirt, at the crossroads where we stood.
Bb
He said, are you looking for directions?
F
I said, gee, I wish you would.
C C7
Which way to the infinite road that unwinds from within?

[Chorus]
F Bb F
He said, follow the distant light. Oh you know I will!
F Bb F
Follow the distant light, just a little bit over the hill
F Bb F
Follow the distant light and although you'll never near it.
Bb
You can travel on forever and you'll never be back here.
F
I said, alright (hoo, yeah, distant light)

[Verse 2]
Bb F
The stranger appeared to me, he hopped down from his tree.
Bb F
He said, I can give you anything, but you know that nothing's free.
Bb F
Well I could take it or leave it. I said, well what do you want from me.
C C7
He said, nothing much really, just a small token of appreciation
C7
That would mean so little to man like you and so much to a man like me.

[Chorus]
F Bb F
Gimme the distant light.Oh no I cannot do it
F Bb F
Gimme the distant light, he said through his teeth
F Bb F
Gimme the distant light, you know I ain't quite yet through with it
Bb
As I saw it shining dimly through the branches of his tree
F
I walked on (yeah, distant light)

[Interlude]
Fm Fm7 Eb Cm C C7

[Chorus]
F Bb F
Following the distant light, like the way some people look for parking
F Bb F
Following the distant light, yeah and tripping all over my feet
F Bb F Bb
But following the distant light, Lord, I know if I keep walking, I'll never touch it,
Bb F
But as long as I move it'll shine down on me, shine on me

[Outro]
F
ooh, yeah, distant light
