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
