Live Forever - In the Studio with the Highwaymen Part 5 Chords

The longer you play, the longer you write, you should get better.
You're supposed to get better.
And the fact that we got healthier is what's amazing.
_ All of us are healthier now than we were 20 years ago.
_ I used to think sometimes when we're singing that song, Live Forever, that we almost did.
_ Between the four of us, we got 135 years on the road.
Between the four highways.
_ 135.
I was thinking singing that song, God's let us almost like live forever.
It seems like it.
_ But that song is typical Billy Joe Shaver.
You know, it's _ got a spiritual meaning, but it's also earthbound.
_ [C] _ _ [D] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ You fathers and you mothers, be good [Em] to one another.
[C] Please try [D] to raise your [G] children right.
_ _ Don't let the darkness take [Em] them.
Don't make them feel forsaken.
[G] Just lead [D] them safely to [G] the light.
_ _ _ [C] When this whole world is blown [G] asunder, _ _ [D] and all the stars fall from [G] the sky,
_ _ _ [C] remember someone really [G] loves you.
_ _ [D] We'll live forever, you [G] and I.
_ _ _ I'm gonna live forever.
[Em] I'm gonna cross that river.
[C] I'm gonna [D] catch tomorrow [G] now.
_ _ _ I'm gonna live forever.
[Em] I'm gonna cross that river.
[C] I'm gonna [D] catch tomorrow [G] now.

_ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] I think anyone who lives _ long enough learns something.
_ [D] _
[F#m] Fortunately, it seems [N] like the four of us have learned a little bit.
And [F] we're applying it _ sparingly, but we have learned something. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Oh, you busted me, man.
I was talking to my parents.
I know it. _
_ _ _ _ You gotta call me.
I'm always on the comeback.
Well, this is it.
What do you think?
I think it's good.
I think I ought to get half of everything he wrote.
_ What do you think he thinks?
I don't know.
I didn't know he could think.
You know what he told me? _
_ The reason I can tell the story is because he told it to me, and his football coach told it to him.
One day, Chris said, I think something.
I don't know what it was, and his football coach said, don't think.
That weakens our team. _ _ _ _
Did you see the former?
I just saw his tape in there, and it was a real fight.
George really beat him.
They both _ were really going for it, and you could have held that fight in a phone booth.
They had moved this [D#] far apart, _ and the young Moore had never been knocked down.
He thought he could knock the old man out.
I love this.
I told him it's an omen.
He said, old man George Foreman knocks out young Michael Moore.
So I'm going to go out somewhere and find me a young country singer and knock him on his butt.
_ _ _ _ _ We're friends forever, as they say.
_ _ Let's play golf.
You got a deal.
I can beat you any day.
You are no golf player.
_ [C#] _ _ _ [D] _ Remember the Linda Ronstadt hit, _ Blue Bayou? _
_ _ _ _ _ _ That's the way it'll [G] be all day long.
Blue Bayou. _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
[D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ I'm going to live [Em] forever.
I'm going to [C] cross that river.
I'm going to catch [G] tomorrow now.
_ _ You're going to want to [Em] hold me just like I always [C] told you.
You're going to miss me [D] when I'm [G] gone.
_ [C] _ Nobody here will [G] ever find me, _ [D] but I will always [G] be around.
_ _ [C] Just like the songs [G] I leave behind me, _ _ [D] I'm going to live [G] forever now. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ You fathers and you [Em] mothers, be good to one [C] another.
Please try to raise your [G] children.
_ _ _ Don't let the darkness [Em] take them.
Don't make them feel [G] forsaken.
Just lead them safely to the light.
_ _ [C] When this old world is [G] blown asunder,
_ _ [D] and all the stars fall [G] from the sky,
_ _ [C] _ remember someone [G] really loves you.
_ [D] We'll live forever, you [G] and I.
_ _ I'm going to live [Em] forever.
I'm going to cross that [C] river.
I'm [D] going to catch tomorrow [G] now.
_ _ I'm going to live forever.
[Em] I'm going to cross that river.
[C] I'm going [D] to catch tomorrow [G] now.
