Vox in on the 1 of the key (5 of the chord)
LDife’s like the road that you travel on
There’s one daAy here and the next day gone
SometimeEs you bend, sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the wind
There’s a world Doutside every darkened door
Where Ablues won’t haunt you anymore
Where the Ebrave are free and lovers soar
Come ride with me to the distant shore
WF#me won’t hesitate to brEeak down the garden gate
TDhere’s not much time left todayB
