[C] [Dm] driven across [F] many bridges across valleys [C] over mountains

But it was a [C] big difference.
[F] I thought everything had a meaning,
And that [Am] I would find wisdom of life.
[Dm] But I always drove [F] straight ahead,
[G] Soon the thought [C] was empty.
[Am] And the whisperer [G] can not whisper away
[F] Memories of [C] the past.

But throw [G] out and drive away.
