The World Goes On Chords by Barclay James Harvest

_ _ _ _ See the gambler [Em] make a stand,
_ [Bm] _ _ [C] Oppose the [B] lifetime in his [Em] hand.
[G] _ _ [C] _ [G] Win the game, _
[Am] or lose [Em] control,
But the world goes on [C] forever.
_ _ _ _ Life's a [D] circle I [Em] recall,
_ [Bm] _ _ [C] Shadows [B] played upon the [Em] wall.
_ [G] _ _ [C] You pay the [G] piper _
[Am] to call the tune,
[Em] And the song goes on [C]
forever.
_ _ _ [G] And [D] when all the words [Em] have gone,
_ [G] _ _ [C] There's [B] the thought to carry [Em] on,
_ [G] _ _ [C] Just like a [G] bird [Em] dances.
[G] Leave it, I'll [C] be, spread [G] your wings.
You can leave it, I'll [C] be, spread [G] your wings. _ _ _ _ _
Lay me down. _ _ _ _
[C] Saw the wrath [D] move on [Em] before me,
[Bm] _ _
[C] _ Times when I was [Em] turned,
_ [C] I'm [G] lost on my way,
_ _ _ _ Looking [D] at life,
_ [Em] And strangely [C] for the [Em] first time,
_ [Bm] _ _ Thinking [D] that I _ [C] would stay here, _
But the world moves on forever. _ _ _
[G] _ [D] And when all the [Em] words have gone,
[G] _ _
[C] _ There's the thought to [Em] carry on,
[G] _ _
[C] _ Just like [G] a bird [Em] dances. _
[G] Leave it, [C] I'll be, spread [G] your wings. _
You can leave it, I'll [C] be, spread [G] your wings. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [D] _ _ [Em] _ _ [Bm] _ _
[C] _ _ [B] _ _ [Em] _ _ [C] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ Looking [D] at life,
_ _ [Em] And strangely [C] for the [Em] first time,
_ [Bm] _ _ Thinking [D] that I could [C] stay here, _
But the world moves on forever. _ _ _
[G] _ [D] And when all the words [Em] have gone, _ _
[C] _ There's the thought to [Em] carry on,
[G] _ _
[C] Just like [G] a bird [Em] dances. _
[G] Leave it, I'll [C] be, spread [G] your wings. _
You can leave it, [C] I'll be, spread [G] your wings. _ _

[C] _ [D] Thanks for [Em] _ _ [Bm] _ _
[C] _ _ [B] _ _ [Em] _ _ [C] _
[G] watching! _ _ _ _ _ _ _
