E: 022100 C#m: x46654 G#: 466544 A: 577655 [Intro] E C#m G# A [Verse 1] E C#m This day is getting older, G# A in fading light it's beautiful. E C#m This wind is blowing colder, G# A and too soon I'll feel it's pull. E Still, I took all my chances, C#m earned myself an even score. G# A Try to learn my lessons well. E And I don't have the answers, C#m for those questions anymore. G# A Only love can be both heaven and hell. [Chorus] E C#m So sturdy up, sturdy up your heart, G# A for the road is long ahead. E C#m I'll be with you even though we're apart, G# A but your road is yours to tread. E C#m And so it goes, and so it goes, G# A and so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind, E C#m G# A And so it goes... and so it goes, and so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind, mind, mind. [Solo] [Verse 2] E C#m I've grown old on this ocean, G# A gave her all, my stronger years. E C#m Gave my wife my devotion, G# A when she died, the ocean my tears. E I've tried to teach you well son, C#m all of everything I knew. G# A Of how to live this life be true. E Don't bow your head to no one, C#m and no matter what you do, G# A if you start then see it through. [Chorus] E C#m So sturdy up, sturdy up your heart, G# A for the road is long ahead. E C#m I'll be with you even though we're apart, G# A but your road is yours to tread. E C#m And so it goes, and so it goes, G# A and so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind, E C#m G# A And so it goes... and so it goes, and so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind.
