[(intro) ]Em D Em C Em Am D
Em D
Little Jimmy's gone
Em C
Away out of the backstreets
Em
Out of the window
Am
To the fog and rain
D
Right on time
Em
Right on time
That's why Broken Arrow
C
Waved his finger down the road so dark and narrow
Em
And all the dogs are barkin'
C D
Just before the Sunday six-bells chime, six-bells chime
Em Bm
And all the dogs are barkin'
Em C Em
Way out on the diamond-studded highway where you wander
Am D
And you roam from your retreat and view
Em Bm Em
Way over on the railroad
C Em
Tomorrow all the tipping trucks will unload together
C D
Every scrapbook stuck with glue
Em
And I'll stand beside you
Bm Em C Em Am
Besi - de yo - u chi - ld
D
To never never never wonder why at all
G
No no no no no no no no
C G
To never never wonder why at all
Am D
To never never never wonder wh - y it's gotta be
Em
It has to be
Way across the country where the hillside mountain glide
The dynamo of your smile caressed the barefoot virgin child to wander
Past your window with a lantern lit
You held it in the doorway and you kissed against the pointed island breeze
Said your time was open, go well on your merry way
Past the brazen footsteps of the silence easy
You breathe in you breathe out you breathe in you breathe out you breath in
you breathe out you breathe in you breathe out
And you're high on your high-flyin' cloud
Wrapped up in your magic shroud as ecstasy surrounds you
This time it's found you
You turn around you turn around you turn around you turn around
And I'm beside you
Beside you
Oh darlin'
To never never wonder why at all
No no no no no
To never never never wonder why at all
To never never never wonder why it's gotta be
It has to be
And I'm beside you
Beside you
Oh child
To never never wonder why at all
I'm beside you
Beside you
Beside you
Beside you
Oh child
