Back toward [Ab] the turn of the century Mark Twain took a trip around the world on a steamship
And he wrote a book called following the equator and the opening page
As a dedication that says be good and you will be lonesome
Which for me still seems to work [G] in the fabulous 80s
[D]
Jason Mason [G] hears the sound the whistle [D] blows in Congo town and the mailman's mail-boy channel
Brings him things from all so far, old magazines and snicker bars
A simple man, a simple plan, the world's too big to [G] understand
Be good and [C] you will [G] be lonesome, be lonesome and you will [D] be free
[G] Live a lie [C] and you will live to [G] regret it, that's [C] what living [D] is to me, that's what living [G] is to me
[D] On a timeless beach in Hispanola, a young girl sips a diet cola
She's worlds [G] apart, [C] worlds apart
[D] Spirit of the black king still with the berets through Haitian hills
He rules the sea, all the fish, what if he had a TV dish?
[G] Be good [C] and you will [G] be lonesome, be lonesome and you will [D] be free
[G] Live a lie [C] and you will live to [G] regret it, that's [C] what living [D] is to me, that's what living [G] is to me
[Am] Now in the far off region, [E] the [Em] foreign region
[C] Keeps the thieves and the predators [D] at bay
[Am] While closer to home, [E] some bad boys [Em] still roam
[C] The streets are safe, so give it [D] one more day, one [Am] more day, [Em] one [D] more [Am] day
[Em] [C]
[D] Stories from my favorite books still take on many different looks
And I'm gone again, home [G] again
[D] The time has come, the walrus said and little oysters hide their head
My twain of thought is loosely bound, I guess it's time to mark this [G] down
Be good and [C] you will [G] be lonesome, be lonesome [C] and you will [A] be free
[D] Live [G] a lie and you will live to regret it, that's what living is to [D] me, that's what living is to [G] me
That's [C] what living is to [D] me, that's what living [G] is to me
