G                    C                 G                  C 
Oh I'd rather go and journey where the diamond crests are flowing and 
G              C          G              C 
Run across the valley beneath the sacred mountains  and 
D 
Wander  thru  the forest 
            C 
Where the trees have leaves of prisims and  break the light in colors 
     D                G                C   G  C 
That no-one knows the names of 
    G                   C              G           C 
And when it's time I'll go and wait beside a legendary fountain 
G               C              G                 C 
Till I see your form reflected in it's clear and jeweled water 
    D 
And if you think I'm ready 
        C 
You may lead me to the castles where the rivers of our vision 
     D         G         C    G     C    D 
Flow into one another 
G              C               G               C 
I will want to die beneath the white cascading waters 
        G           C             G              C 
She may beg she may plead she may argue with her logic 
     D 
And then she'll know the things I lose 
     C 
That really have no value in the end she will surely know 
  D                 G 
I wasn't born to follow
