VERSE 
   D(8 beats per chord) 
1. There's a place up ahead and I'm goin' 
2. Bring a song and a smile for the banjo, 
3. You can ponder perpetual motion,
4. Catch a ride to the end of the highway

A (6 fr.)                          D (2 fr.)
Just as fast as my feet can fly. 
Better get while the gettin's good. 
Fiz your mind for a crystal day.
and we'll meet by the big red tree.

D
Come away, come away if you're goin', 
Hitch a ride to the end of the highway 
Always time for a good conversation,
There's a place up ahead and I'm goin',

A                       D
Leave the sinkin' ship behind. 
Where the neons turn to wood. 
There's an ear for what you say.
come along, come along with me.

CHORUS
G (2 fr.)      D (2 fr.)   A(4)  x2
C'mon the risin' wind, 
we're goin' up around the bend. Whoooh.    (After 3rd VERSE and 3rd CHORUS
