INTRO: F#m ––
F#m
They
made up their minds
Bm
And
they started packing
C#
They
left before the sun came up
F#m
that
day
F# Bm
An
exit to eternal summer slacking
F#m
But
where were they going
C#
F#m
Without
ever knowing the way?
F#m
They
drank up the wine
Bm
And
they got to talking
C#
They
now had more important things
F#m
to
say
F#
And
when the car broke down
Bm
They
started walking
F#m
Where
were they going
C# F#m – E
Without
ever knowing the way?
A
Anyone could see the road
E
That they walk on is paved in gold
F#m
And it’s always summer
C#
They’ll never get cold
D
They’ll never get hungry
A E
They’ll never get old and gray…
A
You can see their shadows
E
Wandering off somewhere
F#m
They won’t make it home
C#
But they really don’t care
D
They wanted the highway
A E C#
They’re happy there today, today…
F#m
The
children woke up
Bm
And
they couldn’t find ’em
C#
They
left before the sun came up
F#m
that day
F#
They
just drove off
Bm
And
left it all behind 'em
F#m
But
where were they going
C#
F#m – E
Without
ever knowing the way?
A
Anyone could see the road
E
That they walk on is paved in gold
F#m
And it’s always summer
C#
They’ll never get cold
D
They’ll never get hungry
A E
They’ll never get old and gray…
A
You can see their shadows
E
Wandering off somewhere
F#m
They won’t make it home
C#
But they really don’t care
D
They wanted the highway
A E C#
They’re happy there today, today…
