"Pilgrims Progress"
(Matthew Fisher - Keith Reid)
Verse 1:
(D) G Bm Em /D
I sat me down to write a simple story
C G/B Am7 /G
Which maybe in the end became a song
D/F# Dm/F C/E Ebdim
In trying to find the words which might begin it
Em Am C D
I found these were the thoughts I'd brought along
Verse 2:
At first I sought to be an anchor
I gathered up my fears to ride me round
But then I clearly saw my own delusion
And found my struggles further brought me down
Verse 3:
In starting out I thought to go exploring
And set my foot upon the nearest road
In vain I looked to find the promised turning
But only saw how far I was from home
Bridge:
D D7/C G/B C G/B C G/B
In searching I forsook the paths of learning
D D7/C G/B C G/B C G/B
And sought instead to find some pirate's gold
D D7/C G/B C G/B C G/B
In fighting I did hurt those dearest to me
C G/B Am7 Am7/G
Still no hidden truths could I unfold
Instrumental break:
organ solo (chord progression as per last two lines of verse)
Verse 4:
I sat me down to write a simple story
Which maybe in the end became a song
The words have all been read by one before me
We're taking turns in trying to pass them on
B7/D# Em Am7 Am7/D G [N.C.]
Oh, we're taking turns in trying to pass them on
Coda:
piano (chords and rests as indicated):
D D/C G/B Am
/ } / } / } / } / } / } / } / }
band enters; continue to fade:
D D/C G/B Am/C

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official PROCOL HARUM tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
