World Away From Me
words and music by Arlo Guthrie
Intro:
C Cmaj C7 F
C Cmaj C7 F
C Cmaj C7 F Fm G C
I've been Ckeeping on the run
I've been Gmtraveling with the sun
I've been Fsinging all my Glife and getting Cby
Got to keep up with what's going on
In this Gmplace I've been so long
And I Fguess I'll just keep Gsinging all my Clife
And it's Fso good to come Chome
To a Fwoman all alCone
ForFgetting how hard Dmloneliness can Gbe
She will Dmtake me from this Gworld
Then she'll Dmgently Gtake the Fworld aGway from Cme Cmaj C7 F Fm G C
l'll be coming home at night
While the kids are sleeping tight
She'll be lit by firelight and looking fine
And the kids jump out of bed
Hello Daddy, what did you get
Did you think of anything on down the line
She'll be talking with her smile
Saying, honey, wait awhile
The kids have missed you, soon they'll be asleep
She will take me from this world
Then she'll gently take the world away from me
Oh the prophets and the sages
And the wise men through the ages
All that's written down on pages from above
Just can't adequately describe
What I'm feeling here inside
It's just useless to be living without love
And I'll take her by her hand
Just a woman and a man
Without trying to understand what we should be
She will take me from this world
Then she'll gently take the world away from me
