D Bm When I was a young boy back in Orangefield, yeah Used to look out my classroom window and dream, yeah And go home and listen to Ray sing "I Believed In My Soul" after school Ah, that love that was within me, yeah You know it carried me through D Well it lifted me up and it filled me A Meditation contemplation too Chorus: D Got to go back Bm We've got to go back D Got to go back Bm Got to go back (Got to go back) G A D Bm D Bm For the healing go on with the dreaming All these people in the street And the summer's almost here Got to go outside in the fresh air And walk while it's still clear Breathe it in all the way down To your stomach too And breathe it out with a radiance Into the nighttime air Chorus: Got to go back We've got to go back Got to go back (Got to go back) Have you got to go back (Got to go back) For the healing go on with the dreaming Got my ticket at the airport Well I guess I've been marking time I've been living in another country That operates along entirely different lines Keep me away from porter or whiskey Don't play anything sentimental, it'll make me cry Got to go now my friend Is there really any need to ask why? Chorus: I guess we've got to go back Got to go back People I've got to go back (Got to go back) Well we've got to go back (Got to go back) For the healing go on with the dreaming Ah, we've got to go back Baby we got to go back People, got to go back (Got to go back) Got to go back (Got to go back) For the healing go on with the dreaming With the dreaming, la la la la la With the dreaming With the dreaming With the dreaming With the dreaming Go to sleep Talking to my baby You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Bm  D  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
