Don Henley - The End of the Innocence
Originally in Ab, I play in D capo 1
DDsus2DDsus2Dsus4/F#D/F#G/BBm7/AA/GGadd9x2
RemDember when the days were long
And Gadd9rolled beneath a deep blue sky
DDidn’t have a care in the world
With Gadd9mommy and daddy Astanding by
But Dhappily ever after fails
And we’ve been Gadd9poisoned by these fairy tales
The Dlawyers dwell on small details
Since Bmdaddy Ghad to Afly
Ah, but Bm7I know a F#m7place where Em7we can go G6
Bm7Still untGouched by Aman
Bm7We’ll sit and F#m7watch the Em7clouds roll byG6
And the Bm7tall grass Gwaves in the Awind
You can Dlay your Ahead back Gadd9on the ground
And Bm7let your F#m7hair fall Em7all around me G6
DOffer Aup your Gadd9best defense
Bm7This is the F#m7end Em7
Gmaj7This is the Aend of the Dinnocence
DDsus2DDsus2Dsus4/F#D/F#G/BBm7/AA/GGadd9
Oh Dbeautiful for spacious skies
But Gadd9now those skies are threatening
DThey’re beating plowshares into swords
For this Gadd9tired old man that we eAlected king
DArmchair warriors often fail
And we’ve been Gadd9poisoned by these fairy tales
The Dlawyers clean up all details
Since Bmdaddy Ghad to Alie
Ah, but Bm7I know a F#m7place where Em7we can go G6
Bm7And wash awayGthis sin
Bm7We’ll sit and F#m7watch the Em7clouds roll by G6
And Bm7tall grass Gwaves in the Awind
Just Dlay your Ahead back Gadd9on the ground
And Bm7let your F#m7hair spill Em7all aroG6und me
DOffer Aup your Gadd9best defense
Bm7This is the F#m7end Em7
Gmaj7This is the Aend of the Dinnocence

DWho knows how long this will last
Gadd9Or how we’ve come so far so fast
DBut somewhere back there in the dust
ThatGadd9same small town in Aeach of us
DI need to remember this
Gadd9So baby give me just one kiss
DAnd let me take a long last look
BeBm7fore we Gsay goodAbye
Just Dlay your Ahead back Gadd9on the ground
And Bm7let your F#m7hair fall Em7all aroG6und me
DOffer Aup your Gadd9best defense
Bm7This is the F#m7end Em7
Gmaj7This is the Aend of the Dinnocence
