Version 2
This is the correct full chords and lyrics for La Mar, same chord progression during the song,
palm mute each chord after playing it. I pick the bottom E string before playing the E, G# and
A chords, and the A string before strumming C#m which sounds good, the original recording has
some additional fingerpicking but this sounds great. Listen to original song for timing.
E: 022100
C#m: x46654
G#: 466544
A: 577655
[Intro]
E C#m G# A
[Verse 1]
E C#m
This day is getting older,
G# A
in fading light it's beautiful.
E C#m
This wind is blowing colder,
G# A
and too soon I'll feel it's pull.
E
Still, I took all my chances,
C#m
earned myself an even score.
G# A
Try to learn my lessons well.
E
And I don't have the answers,
C#m
for those questions anymore.
G# A
Only love can be both heaven and hell.
[Chorus]
E C#m
So sturdy up, sturdy up your heart,
G# A
for the road is long ahead.
E C#m
I'll be with you even though we're apart,
G# A
but your road is yours to tread.
E C#m
And so it goes, and so it goes,
G# A
and so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind,
E C#m G# A
And so it goes... and so it goes, and so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind, mind, mind.
[Solo]
[Verse 2]
E C#m
I've grown old on this ocean,
G# A
gave her all, my stronger years.
E C#m
Gave my wife my devotion,
G# A
when she died, the ocean my tears.
E
I've tried to teach you well son,
C#m
all of everything I knew.
G# A
Of how to live this life be true.
E
Don't bow your head to no one,
C#m
and no matter what you do,
G# A
if you start then see it through.
[Chorus]
E C#m
So sturdy up, sturdy up your heart,
G# A
for the road is long ahead.
E C#m
I'll be with you even though we're apart,
G# A
but your road is yours to tread.
E C#m
And so it goes, and so it goes,
G# A
and so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind,
E C#m G# A
And so it goes... and so it goes, and so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind.
