Key: C
Introduction: C G
C G
I'll be here awhile ain't going nowhere
I'll be here awhile ain't going nowhere
BmEm
Far is solace in the maddening pace
Sad state written on my face
C G
Not a tight rope walk but dance
Uncertain game of chance
C G
I'll be here awhile ain't going nowhere
I'll be here awhile ain't going nowhere
BmEm
And if a person place or thing can deliver
I will quiver with delight
C G
But at twenty years of age
In frolic and in rage
C G
I'll be here awhile ain't going nowhere
I'll be here awhile ain't going nowhere
BmEm
But the dawn has come into the endless night
And everything's going to be all right
C G
But at thirty years of age
Through frolic and in rage
C G
I'll be here awhile ain't going nowhere
Said I, said I, said I
