THE WAY (FASTBALL)

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

                                             E

                 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…
