As recorded by Arlo Guthrie

[Intro]
Am F Am Em
Am F Am
 
[Verse 1]
Am F
In the candle, lights burn away
Am Em7
Leaving nothing, except the day
Am F Am
Just to blow your mind away
F
Coming thus, this daily change
Am Em
You sit and pose the very strange
Am F
He sits and hums 'Home on the Range"
Am
And just wouldn't you believe it
 
[Interlude]
Am F Am Em
Am F Am
 
[Verse 2]
Am F
Now the hallway, now the doors
Am E7
Locking out your deathlike chores
Am F Am
Locking in what's left to score
F
Coming thus, this daily thought
Am Em7
Heroes have so long been taught
Am F
Buying what cannot be bought
Am
And just wouldn't you believe it
 
[Guitar Solo]
Am F Am Em
Am F Am Am/G Am
 
[Verse 3]
Am F
Now, like before, my time has gone
Am Em
Here's wishing I could carry on
Am F Am
But I'm being called up into the dawn
F
Coming thus, this daily freak
Am Em7
Try to come again next week
Am F
When I strive to climb the peak
Am Em Am
And just wouldn't you believe it
 
[Outro]
F G Am
Just wouldn't you believe it
F G Am
Yeah, just wouldn't you believe it
