CAPO 1. FRET
GWon't say I lDove you babe
GWon't say I nDeed you babe
DBut I'm going to geAt you babe
and I wilGl not do you wrongD
GLiving's mostly waDsting time
Gand I waste my shaDre of mine
Dbut it never feels Atoo good
so Glet's not take too longD
You're soGft as glaDss and I'm a genGtle manA
Dwe got the sky to taAlk about
and the wGorld to lie upDon
Days up and down they come
like rain on a conga drum
forget most, remember some
but don't turn none away.
Everything is not enough
nothing is too much to bear
where you been is good and gone
all you keep's the getting there.
To live is to fly low and high
so shake the dust off of your wings
and the sleep out of your eyes.
It's goodbye to all my friends
It's time to go again
Think of all the poetry
and the pickin' down the line.
I'll miss the system here
the bottom's low and the treble's clear
but it don't pay to think too much
on the things you leave behind.
I may be gone but I won't be long
I'll be bringing back the melody
and the rhythm that I find.
We all got holes to fill
and them holes are all that's real
some fall on you like a storm
sometimes you dig your own
But choice is yours to make
time is yours to take
some dive into the sea
some toil upon the stone.
To live is to fly low and high
so shake the dust off of your wings
and the sleep out of your eyes.
