The Byrds (Goffin/King)

Oh I'd [G] rather go and [C] journey

Where the [G] diamond crests are [C] flowing and

[G] Run across the [C] valley

Be-[G]-neath the sacred [C] mountains

And [D] Wander thru the forest

Where the [C] trees have leaves of prisms

And break the light in colours

That [D] no-one knows the [G] names of [C][G][C]

[G] And when it's time I'll [C] go and wait

Be-[G]-side a legen-[C]-dary fountain

[G] Till I see your [C] form reflected

[G] In its clear and [C] jeweled water

And [D] if you think I'm ready

You may [C] lead me to the castles

Where the rivers of our vision

Flow [D] into one an-[G]-other [C][G][C][D]

[G] I will want to [C] die beneath

The [G] white cascading [C] waters

She may [G] beg she may [C] plead

She may [G] argue with her [C] logic

And [D] then she'll know the things I lose

That [C] really have no value

In the end she will surely know

I [D] wasn't born to [G] follow
