Verse 1:

        B7addE [as per intro]
        Where are you walking, I've 
seen you walking
        Have you been there before? 
    [cello: A -> F#]
        Walk down your doorsteps, 
you'll take some more steps
        What did you take them for?

                   A             G6 
               [A: x77650   G6: 
x55430]
        There's a private in my boat
 and he wears
         D               C        
        Pins instead of medals on 
     E
his coat
                    A            
        There's a chicken in my nest
G6
 and she won't
         D              C         
        Lay until I've given her 
   E
my best

                  B7
        At her request she asks for 
nothing
                 E
        You get nothing in return
                B7
        If you want she brings you 
water
                E                  
        If you don't then you will 
 B
burn

[repeat intro riff, 4X w/bass each 
time]

Verse 2:

        You go through changes, it 
may seem strange
        Is this what you're put here
 for?
        You think you're happy and 
you are happy
        That's what you're happy for

Continúa después del anuncio
        There's a man who can't 
decide if he should
        Fight for what his father 
thinks is right
        There are people wearing 
frowns who'll screw you up
        But they would rather screw 
you down

        At my request I ask for 
nothing
        You get nothing in return
        If you're nice she'll bring 
me water
        If you're not then I will 
burn

Verse 1:

        Fmaj7                    
        This is the time and life 
           Cmaj7
that I am living
                  E                
        And I'll face each day with
     G
 a smile
                 D                 
        For the time that I've been
                 G
 given's such a little while
                 D                 
        And the things that I must 
               G
do consist of more than style
                      Fmaj7        
        [1: There are places that I
    Am G
 am going
         4: There'll be time for you
 to start all over]

Verse 2:

        This is the only thing that 
I am sure of
        And that's all that lives is
 gonna die
        And there'll always be some 
people here to wonder why
        And for every happy hello, 
there will be good-bye
        There'll be time for you to 
put yourself on

[repeat horn break]

Verse 3:

        Everything I've seen needs 
rearranging
        And for anyone who thinks 
it's strange
        Then you should be the first
 to want to make this change
        And for everyone who thinks 
that life is just a game
        Do you like the part you're 
playing
