Tuning: E A D G B E
Author Note:
The A chord in the verse is in parentheses because The Byrds don't play it,
even though the standard rock progression of VII-IV-I swould include it.
Also, the melody line suggests it. I play it that way. It's up to you.
[Verse 1]
I Ethink I'm going back
D (A) E
to the things I learned so well in my youth
I Ethink I'm returnin' to
D (A) E
Those days when I was young enough to know the truth
[Bridge 1]
Now there C#mare no games to only G#mpass the time
No more eC#mlectric trains, no moreE trees to climb
[Chorus 1]
But thinking Ayoung & growin' Bolder is Eno sin
And AI can play the Bgame of life to Ewin
[Verse 2]
EI can recall the time
D (A) E
When I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend
ENow I think I've got
D (A) E
A lot more than just my toys to lend
[Bridge 2]
Now there's C#mmore to do than watch my G#msailboat glide
And every C#mday can be a magicE carpet ride
[Chorus 2]
A Alittle bit of Bcourage is all Ewe lack
So Acatch me if you Bcan I'm Egoing back
[Interlude]
A La la la la Bla la la la la Ela
[Bridge 2]
Now there's C#mmore to do than watch my G#msailboat glide
And every C#mday can be a magicE carpet ride
[Chorus 2]
A Alittle bit of Bcourage is all Ewe lack
So Acatch me if you Bcan ... I'm Egoing back
[Interlude]
A La la la la Bla la la la la Ela
[Coda]
C#mAa-ah G#mAa-ah
