The World Goes On

Harvest Barclay James

C       D              Em    G
See the gambler make a stand
C       Bm              Em   G
Holds a lifetime in his hand
C       G       C       G
Win the game or lose control
        C          C     C    C
But the world goes on forever

C        D           Em   G
Life's a circle, I recall
C       Bm              Em   G
Shadows played upon the wall
C           G        C        G
You pay the piper to call the tune
        C         C     C    C
And the song goes on forever

C        D                  Em   G
And when all the words have gone
            Bm               Em G
There's the thought to carry on
C    D      G         Em    Em
Just like a bird that sings
Em             C                    G     G
Leave it all behind and spread your wings
        G              C                  G     G
You can leave it all behind - spread your wings

       G    G G G
Lay me down
        C         D    Em      G
Saw the road move on before me
C          Em    C     C            G   G G
Times when I was tired and lost my way
G          D        Em        Em      G          G
Looking at life and strangely for the first time
G             D            C
Thinking that I could stay here
        C           C     C    C
But the world moves on forever

C        D                  Em   G
And when all the words have gone
C           Bm               Em G
There's the thought to carry on
C    D      G         Em    Em
Just like a bird that sings
Em             C                    G     G
Leave it all behind and spread your wings
        G              C                  G     G
You can leave it all behind - spread your wings
