[Verse 1]
C                                             C7
I know that you've heard people say many many times
    F
You don't pass through this world
                                    G
But once you get yours and I'll get mine
C                             C7                  F
But I've got a philosophy I believe I'd rather go by
C                  F              G                 C
And if you'll just listen you may want to give it a try

[Chorus]
C                                                C7
Leave a lotta happy tracks as you go down life's road
F                                         G
Leave a lotta happy tracks everywhere you go
C                                           F
Leave a lotta happy tracks and keep this in mind
C                   F             G                C
Others will have to follow in the path you leave behind

[Verse 2]
G         C
   As you walk the tangle streets of life
                   C7
Notice your fellow man
F                                                   C
And when he gets in trouble just lend him a helping hand
                                                 F
Sow good seeds in your fields of life as you go along
    C                F           C         G7           C
Let others reap your happiness a long time after you're gone

[Chorus]
C                                                C7
Leave a lotta happy tracks as you go down life's road
F                                         G
Leave a lotta happy tracks everywhere you go
C                                           F
Leave a lotta happy tracks and keep this in mind
C                   F             G                C    G
Others will have to follow in the path you leave behind

[Verse 3]
C                                           C7
Don't ever use a good friend for a personal gain
   F                                                G
To gain wealth and lose one friend would only be in vain
         C                                              F
Let your happy tracks be many leave them everywhere you go
C                   F                G7             C
Others will have to harvest each and every seed you sow

[Chorus]
C                                                C7
Leave a lotta happy tracks as you go down life's road
F                                         G
Leave a lotta happy tracks everywhere you go
C                                           F
Leave a lotta happy tracks and keep this in mind
C                   F             G                C
Others will have to follow in the path you leave behind
