::Verse 1::

G (320003@1)                   C (x32010@1)If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine 
                                      G (320003@1)And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung, 
                                        C (x32010@1)Would you hear my voice come through the music? 
         G (320003@1)     D (xx0232@1)  C (x32010@1)             G (320003@1)Would you hold it near as it were your own?

G (320003@1)                C (x32010@1)It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken; 
                            GPerhaps (320003@1)they're better left unsung. 
                           CI (x32010@1)don't know, don't really care. 
    G (320003@1)     D (xx0232@1)  C (x32010@1)             G (320003@1)Let there be songs to fill the air.

   A (x02220@1)    D (xx0232@1)Nor wind to blow.

::Verse 2::

G (320003@1)                CReach (x32010@1)out your hand if your cup be empty, 
                              GIf (320003@1)your cup is full may it be again. 
                           CLet (x32010@1)it be known there is a fountain 
 G (320003@1)        D (xx0232@1)  C (x32010@1)             G (320003@1)That was not made by the hands of men.

G (320003@1)             CThere (x32010@1)is a road, no simple highway, 
                                 GBetween (320003@1)the dawn and the dark of night, 
                          CAnd (x32010@1)if you go, no one may follow, 
   G (320003@1)     D (xx0232@1)  C (x32010@1)       G (320003@1)That path is for your steps alone.

   A (x02220@1)    D (xx0232@1)Nor wind to blow.

::Verse 3::

G (320003@1)             CYou (x32010@1)who choose to lead must follow, 
                          GBut (320003@1)if you fall, you fall alone. 
                                        CIf (x32010@1)you should stand, then who's to guide you? 
   G (320003@1)        D (xx0232@1) C (x32010@1)              G (320003@1)If I knew the way I would take you home.

La da da da da, 
La da da da da, 
Da da da da, da da, da da da da da. 
La da da da, 
La da da da da, 
La da da da, 
La da da da da.
