"Are you OK?
             Gm
You've been shot in the head
         A
And I'm holding your brains,"
    D#
The old woman said

       Dm
So I drink in the shadows
      D#
Of an evening sky
 D#m
See nothing at all

The stars look so special
And the snow looks so old
The frail form is drifting
Beyond the yoga zone

Time to question the mountain:
Why pigs can fly?
It's nothing at all

Chorus:
G
 I praise to you
A#
 Nothing ever goes away
G
 I praise to you
A#
 Nothing ever goes
G                A
 I praise to you

A#
 I praise to you
G
 Nothing ever goes away
A#
 I praise to you
G
 Nothing ever goes
A#
 I praise to you
G
 Nothing ever goes away
A#
 I praise to you
G
 Nothing ever goes, nothing ever goes
