Em D Em C Little Jimmy's gone, away out of the backstreets. Em Am Out of the window, to the fog and rain. D Right on time, right on time. Em G That's why broken Arrow, waved his finger down the road, Em So dark and narrow, in the evening. C D Just before the Sunday six-bells chime, six-bells chime. And all the dogs are barking Way on down the diamond-studded highway where you wander And you roam from your retreating view And way over on the railroad Tomorrow while the tipping trucks roll out all together Every scrapbook stuck with glue Chorus: Em And I'll stand beside you, Bm Em C Em Am B-side you, chiild. D To never, never, never wonder why at all, G No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. C G To never, never, wonder why at all, Am To never, never, to never, never wonder why, D Em It's gotta be; it has to be. Way across the country where the hillside mountains glide The dynamo of your smile caressed the barefoot virgin child to wander Past your window with the lantern lit You held it in the doorway and you cast against the pointed island breeze Said your time was open, go away along your merry way Past the brazen footlits of the silence easy You breathe in, you breathe out You breathe in, you breathe out You breathe in, you breathe out You breathe in, you breathe out And you're high on your high-flying cloud Wrapped up in your magic shroud as ecstasy surrounds you This time it's found you You turn around You turn around You turn around You turn around And I'm beside you Beside you Oh darling To never never wonder why at all No, no, no, no, no To never never never wonder why at all To never never never wonder why it's got to be It has to be Chorus: And I'm beside you Beside you Oh child To never never wonder why at all I'm beside you Beside you Beside you Beside you Ooooh, oooh Child You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  Bm  C  D  Em  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
