Folkin' Around

Chords

Standard

G             Em         C         G
Allow me to exaggerate a memory or two
G                    Em
Where summers lasted longer than
     D
Well longer than we do
     C              Em
When nothing really mattered
           D       Em
Except for me to be with you
       C             D               G
But in time we all forgot and we all grew


        C             Em
Your melody sounds as sweet
         D          Em
As the first time it was sung
       C               G             D
With a little bit more character for show
    C                Em
And by the time your father's heard
   D
Of all the wrong you've done
    C                
I'm putting out the lantern
D                       G

G                 Em
If i've forgotten how to sing
  C                G
Before I sung this song
     G            Em
I'll write it all across this wall
D
Before my job is done
         C             Em
And I'll even have the courtesy
       D         Em
Of admitting I was wrong
       C                D                G
As the final words before I'm dead and gone


             C           Em
You've never been so divine
     D             Em
In accepting your defeat
         C               G            D
And I've never been more scared to be alone
   C            Em              E           D
If love is not enough to put my enemies to sleep

    C         D        
I'm putting out the lantern
G             D         G
