Key: G
Introduction:
D C9
Well, the good days taught me many things
D C9
Without the use of words
Em G C9
And that what we reap is what we sow
D C9
And I thought rising early
D C9
Was the only thing to do
Em G C9
Sipping cup, riding with the load
Instrumental
C9
This was long before the time
D C9
Metals and machines
Em G C9
And through the harvest, blue sheep gathered in
D C9
Such a long and hardy process
D C9
A battle with the skies
Em G C9
Before each carriage home could begin
G/B D C9
Ooh, the higher we aspire, the further we can fall
G/B D C9
The stronger our foundations have to be
G/B D C9
The miracles we follow, we choose them every day
Em G C9
Riding out for all the world to see
D C9
As the star grew higher and higher
D C9
Pressure too would mount
Em G C9
To keep your shape, symmetry may change
D C9
With the strong and steady arms out
D C9
A keen and focused eye
Em G C9
I load the wagon up right in its frame
G/B D C9
Ooh, the higher we aspire, the further we can fall
G/B D C9
The stronger our foundations have to be
G/B D C9
The miracles we follow, we choose them every day
Em G C9
Riding out for all the world to see
Instrumental
G/B D C9
Ooh, the higher we aspire, the further we can fall
G/B D C9
The stronger our foundations have to be
G/B D C9
The miracles we follow, we choose them every day
Em G C9
Riding out for all the world to see
Instrumental
C9
Though I drew a picture
D C9
Of the lessons I received
Em G C9
Okay with that, it ended just the same
D C9
For the load we build, is ours to ride
D C9
However off the tracks
Em G C9
What ever odds might lie along the lane
