Barclay James Harvest - The World Goes On Chords

Barclay James Harvest - The World Goes On
(from Octoberon, 1976)


[C] See the [D]gambler make a [Em]stand [G]
[C] Holds a [Bm]lifetime in his [Em]hand [G]
[C] Win the [G]game or [C]lose con[G]trol
But the [C]world goes [C]on for[C]ever [C]

[C] Life's a [D]circle, I re[Em]call [G]
[C] Shadows [Bm]played upon the [Em]wall [G]
[C] You pay the [G]piper to [C]call the [G]tune
And the [C]song goes [C]on for[C]ever [C]

[C] And when [D]all the words have [Em]gone [G]
[C] There's the [Bm]thought to carry [Em]on [G]
[C] Just [D]like a [G]bird that [Em]sings [Em]
[Em]Leave it all be[C]hind and spread your [G]wings [G]
You can [G]leave it all be[C]hind - spread your [G]wings [G]

Lay me [G]down [G] [G] [G]
Saw the [C]road move [D]on be[EM]fore me [G]
[c] Times when [Em]I was [C]tired [C] and lost my [G]way [G] [G] 
[G]Looking at [D]life and [Em]strangely [Em]for the [G]first time [G]
[G]Thinking that [D]I could stay [C]here
But the [C]world moves [C]on for[C]ever [C]

[C] And when [D]all the words have [Em]gone [G]
[C] There's the [Bm]thought to carry [Em]on [G]
[C] Just [D]like a [G]bird that [Em]sings [Em]
[Em]Leave it all be[C]hind and spread your [G]wings [G]
You can [G]leave it all be[C]hind - spread your [G]wings [G]
