(Play all Chords with an additional d on 3rd fret om 2nd string
and an additional g on 3rd fret on 1st string, except for D, where you play
the normal chord.)

G________C____G________D________G_______
She wear faded jeans and soft black leather
________C______G________D________C______
she had eyes so blue they looked like weather
________em_____G_____D______G
When she needed me I wasn't round
_________C___________________D_______G
That's the way it goes, it'll all work out

same chords for all verses

There were times apart and times together
I was pledged to her for worse or better
When it mattered most I let her down
that's the way it goes, it'll all work out

Chorus 1

G_____C_________D_____G
It will all work out eventually
______C_____________D__(chg. betw. 2nd and 3rd and open first string, g-f#-e-f#)
Better off with him than here with me

(play the chords of the verse without singing)

Chorus 2

G_____C__________D____G
It will all work out eventually
______C________________D________(g-f#-e-f#)
May be better with him than here with me


Now the wind is high and the rain is heavy
and the water's rising in the levee
Still I think of her when the sun goes down
It never goes away, but it all works out.

(play the chords of the verse again and fade or find an end yourself)
