Subject: TAB:  Goin' Back by The Byrds

Here's a good song from a fine LP.  Bass players: you must listen to this
album.  Peace.

                    GOIN' BACK by The Byrds

from the LP The Notorious Byrd Brothers
(Nils Lofgren does a nice version on his first solo LP)


  E                           A                              E
I think I'm goin' back to the things I learned so well in my youth
                               A                                        E
I think I'm returning to those days when I was young enough to know the truth
          C#m                  Abm
Now there are no games to only pass the time
         C#m                     E
No more electric trains, no more trees to climb
             A                 B           E
But thinking young and growing older is no sin
    A              B               E
And I can play the game of life to win


I can recall a time when I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend
Now I think I've got a lot more than just my toys to lend
Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide
But every day can be a magic carpet ride
A little bit of courage is all we lack
So  catch me if you can, I'm goin' back

A           B           E
La la la la la la la la la la la
A           B           E
La la la la la la la la la
            C#m                      Abm
Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide
          C#m                E
But every day can be a magic carpet ride
  A             B                 E
A little bit of courage is all we lack
   A               B    n.c.
So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back

A           B           E
La la la la la la la la la la la
A           B           E
La la la la la la la la la

C#m                    Abm
Ahhhhhhhh...  Ah ah ah ahhhhhhhh
C#m                    E
Ahhhhhhhh...           <fade>
