The sun is slowly fadin' in the western sky

Sometimes it takes a lifetime
C G
Sometimes I think I'll never see the sun again
 
Verse 2:
There's a heavy smog between me and the mountains
It's enough to make a grown man sit and cry
It's enough to make you wonder
It's enough to make the world roll up and die
 
CHORUS:
Am C D7 G
I think it's kind of interesting the way things get to be
Em G
The way the people work wtih their machines
Am C D G
Serenity's a long time comin' to me
Am C D
In fact, I don't believe that I know what it means
 
Verse 3:
In the east a shaded moon is hangin' lazily
I do believe I saw the old man smile
I do believe I did
I do believe that he's been laughin' all the while
