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?
LA SOL6 LA x77650 SOL6 x55430
There's a private in my boat and he wears
RE DO MI
Pins instead of medals on his coat
LA SOL6
There's a chicken in my nest and she won't
RE DO MI
Lay until I've given her my best
SI7
At her request she asks for nothing
MI
You get nothing in return
SI7
If you want she brings you water
MI SI
If you don't then you will 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
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
[repeat intro]

Verse 1:
FAmaj7 DOmaj7
This is the time and life that I am living
MI SOL
And I'll face each day with a smile
RE SOL
For the time that I've been given's such a little while
RE SOL
And the things that I must do consist of more than style
FAmaj7 LAm SOL
[1: There are places that I 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
