RIFF a 4 TIMES
D A G E RIFF a 2X
One morning I woke up and I knew you were really gone
D A G E RIFF a 2X
A new day, a new way, and new eyes to see the dawn
Bsus D A A7sus E RIFF a 2X
Go your way, I’ll go mine and carry on
The sky is clearing and the night has cried enough
The sun he comes the world to soften up
Rejoice, rejoice, we have no choice but to carry on
The fortunes of fables are able to see the stars
Now witness the quickness with which we get along
To sing the blues, you’ve got to live the dues, and carry on
RIFF a 2 EXTRA TIMES

All the questions of a thousand dreams what you do and what you see
E(3) D(2) A G E RIFF b 4 TIMES
Lover, can you talk to me?
Girl, when I was on my own chasing you down
What was it made you run, tryin’ your best just to get around
The questions of a thousand dreams what you do and what you see
Lover, can you talk to me?

NOTE: This tuning is actually in EEEEBE (tuned down a bit), but I prefer
EBEEBE since it’s much easier to tune to. The only time this makes a
difference in this song is in riff B. Those who use the real EEEEBE
should adjust this riff a bit.
