Berikut lirik dan chord lagu "Fountain of Sorrow" dari Jackson Browne.

Dm          C            Bb            F
Looking through some photographs I found inside a drawer
Dm               C             Bb        F
I was taken by a photograph of you
Dm              C             Bb      F
There were one or two I know that you would have liked a little more
Dm                  C            Bb                 F
But they didn't show your spirit quite as true

Am                                 F
You were turning 'round to see who was behind you
Am               C         C/Bb
And I took your childish laughter by surprise
Bb/F                                  Dm
And at the moment that my camera happened to find you
Gm               Bb       F
There was just a trace of sorrow in your eyes

Dm           C               Bb                     F
Now the things that I remember seem so distant and so small
Dm                C                    Bb            F
Though it hasn't really been that long a time
Dm                  C              Bb        F
What I was seeing wasn't what was happening at all
Dm                C              Bb        F
Although for a while, our path did seem to climb

Am                                   F
But when you see through love's illusions, there lies the danger
Am               C              C/Bb
And your perfect lover just looks like a perfect fool
Bb/F                                Dm
So you go running off in search of a perfect stranger
Gm                              Bb
While the loneliness seems to spring from your life
F C/E Dm C/E Dm C
Like a fountain from a pool

Bb         F/C            A/C#                 Dm ( C )
Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
Bb           F/C              A/C#        Dm ( C )
You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
Bb              F/C             A/C#   Dm
You've had to hide sometimes, but now you're all right
F/C                           Bb/C
And it's good to see your smiling face tonight

Dm             C                   Bb        F
Now for you and me it may not be that hard to reach our dreams
Dm                 C               Bb        F
But that magic feeling never seems to last
Dm                 C           Bb
And while the future's there for anyone to change, still you know it's
              F
seems
Dm                C              Bb                F
It would be easier sometimes to change the past

Am                   F
I'm just one or two years and a couple of changes behind you
Am                   C                 C/Bb
In my lessons at love's pain and heartache school
Bb/F                              Dm
Where if you feel too free and you need something to remind you
Gm                        Bb
There's this loneliness springing up from your life
F C/E Dm C/E Dm C
Like a fountain from a pool

Bb            F/C         A/C#                Dm ( C )
Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
Bb        F/C          A/C#            Dm ( C )

And it's good to see your smiling face tonight

You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight

You've had to struggle, you've had to fight
Bb         F/C              A/C#                      Dm ( C )
To keep understanding and compassion in sight
Bb           F/C           A/C#         Dm ( C )
You could be laughing at me, you've got the right
Bb          F/C          A/C#               Dm ( C )
But you go on smiling so clear and so bright
