Gm
The road is long, you’re gonna get thrown about,
D
Stick to the rhythm: breathe it in and breathe it out.
Do what you do, there isn’t any secret,
Gm
Chop wood, draw water, roll cigarettes.
Gm
Find a lover, put a flower in her hair,
D
Climb a mountain, see the mountain disappear.
Be the first to go back to the ghost town,
Gm
Break bread with the man, that’s gonna bring you down,
Deep, deep down.
Chorus:
A# Dm Gm
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la,
A#
I listen and I hear what’s said.
Dm Gm
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la,
A#
I follow it from a to zed.
Dm Cm
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la,
Gm
But wisdom hasn’t found me yet.

You’re feeling scared, Jesus is your bodyguard.
You feel alone, take a look in your backyard.
Put your eye to the eye of a telescope –
The universe looks back through a microscope.
Adopt a highway, dress yourself in camel hair,
A wasted life is a life lived unaware.
Make a money, put it on a number eight,
Tempt fate, maybe you’re a wheel going round,
Round and round.

I follow it from a to zed.
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la,
But wisdom hasn’t found me yet.
