The World Goes On

Barclay James Harvest - The World Goes On

(from Octoberon, 1976)

[[C]] See the [[D]]gambler make a [[Em]]stand [[G]]

[[C]] Holds a [[Bm]]lifetime in his [[Em]]hand [[G]]

[[C]] Win the [[G]]game or [[C]]lose con[[G]]trol

But the [[C]]world goes [[C]]on for[[C]]ever [[C]]

[[C]] Life's a [[D]]circle, I re[[Em]]call [[G]]

[[C]] Shadows [[Bm]]played upon the [[Em]]wall [[G]]

[[C]] You pay the [[G]]piper to [[C]]call the [[G]]tune

And the [[C]]song goes [[C]]on for[[C]]ever [[C]]

[[C]] And when [[D]]all the words have [[Em]]gone [[G]]

[[C]] There's the [[Bm]]thought to carry [[Em]]on [[G]]

[[C]] Just [[D]]like a [[G]]bird that [[Em]]sings [[Em]]

[[Em]]Leave it all be[[C]]hind and spread your [[G]]wings [[G]]

You can [[G]]leave it all be[[C]]hind - spread your [[G]]wings [[G]]

Lay me [[G]]down [[G]] [[G]] [[G]]

[c] Times when [[Em]]I was [[C]]tired [[C]] and lost my [[G]]way [[G]] [[G]]

[[G]]Looking at [[D]]life and [[Em]]strangely [[Em]]for the [[G]]first time [[G]]

[[G]]Thinking that [[D]]I could stay [[C]]here

But the [[C]]world moves [[C]]on for[[C]]ever [[C]]

[[C]] And when [[D]]all the words have [[Em]]gone [[G]]

[[C]] There's the [[Bm]]thought to carry [[Em]]on [[G]]

[[C]] Just [[D]]like a [[G]]bird that [[Em]]sings [[Em]]

[[Em]]Leave it all be[[C]]hind and spread your [[G]]wings [[G]]

You can [[G]]leave it all be[[C]]hind - spread your [[G]]wings [[G]]
