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

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

Solo, on somtehing like this

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
