Intro:  Bm | Bm | Bm | Bm

Bm
The road is long, you’re gonna get thrown about,
Stick to the rhythm:
                                  F#
Breathe it in and breathe it out.
Do what you do, there isn’t any secret,
                                        Bm
Chop wood, draw water, roll cigarettes.

Bm
Find a lover, put a flower in her hair,
Climb a mountain,
                            F#
See the mountain disappear.
Be the first to go back to the ghost town,
Break bread with the man,
                       Bm
That’s gonna bring you down,
Deep, deep down.

Chorus:
  D                    F#m                  Bm
     La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la,
                                D
     I listen and I hear what’s said.
                       F#m                  Bm
     La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la,
                           D
     I follow it from a to zed.
                       F#m                  Em
     La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la,
                                Bm
     But wisdom hasn’t found me yet.

Instrumental: Bm | Bm | Bm | Bm

You’re feeling scared, Jesus is your bodyguard.
You feel alone,
Take a look in your backyard.
Put your eye to the eye of a telescope -
The universe looks back through a microscope.

Adopt a highway, dress yourself in camel hair,
A wasted life
Is a life lived unaware.
Make a money, put it on a number eight,
Tempt fate, maybe
You’re a wheel going round,
Round and round.

Instrumental: Bm | Bm

Chorus:
     La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la,
     I listen and I hear what’s said.
     La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la,
     I follow it from a to zed.
     La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la,
     But wisdom hasn’t found me yet.

Instrumental: Bm | Bm | Bm | Bm
              F# | F# | F# | F#  } 2 times

     La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la,
     I listen and I hear what’s said.
     La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la,
     I follow it from a to zed.
     La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la,
     But wisdom hasn’t found me yet.
