Em                                    C7
Destiny, Destiny protect me from the world
Em                                         C7
Destiny, hold my hand protect me from the world
 D                     Am             Bm
Here we are, with our running and confusion
       C
And I don't see no confusion anywhere

Chorus:
            G   G/F#  Em            C  G/B Am
And if the world does turn, and if London burns
          D      C       G               Em D
I'll be standing on the beach with my guitar
        G G/F#  Em            C  G/B   Am
I wanna be in a band, when I get to heaven
   D         C      G
Anyone can play guitar
               Em           D
And they won't be a nothing anymore

Grow my hair, grow my hair, I am Jim Morrison
Grow my hair
I wanna be, wanna be, wanna be Jim Morrison
Here we are, with our running and confusion
And I don't see no confusion anywhere

Chorus:
And if the world does turn, and if London burns
I'll be standing on the beach with my guitar
I wanna be in a band when I get to heaven
Anyone can play guitar
and they won't be a nothing anymore
