[Verse 1]
          C             C/E        F       F/G
There’s a wind whipping off of the water,
       C        C/E       F       F/G
Mother Nature’s heaving a sigh.
      C         C/E                F           F/G
Gonna make me a pillow out of that old weeping willow,
C               C/E        F       F/G
kiss this crazy world good-bye.
C               C/E        F       F/G

[Verse 2]
           C           C/E       F       F/G
There’s an elm full of Flying Wallendas,
     C           C/E          F       F/G
that butterfly’s drunk on the sun.
     C           C/E          F         F/G
That flocking formation got a standing ovation
        C             C/E     F       F/G
as they turned to the west as one.
        C             C/E     F       F/G
As they turned to the west as one.

[Chorus]
     Am              G           F        F
It’s not that I hate   where I’m going,
     Am            G         F        F
it’s just that I love coming back.
          Am        G             F        C/E
I’m gonna sit right here ‘fore it all disappears
Dm Dm          G           G
     and my forever’s over just like [Interlude] that.

[Verse 3]
          C              C/E            F       F/G
There’s a stillness that comes with the quiet,
          C           C/E          F       F/G
there’s a wisdom that comes to the wise.
          C            C/E          F           F/G
There’s a truth that’s told that’ll soothe your soul,
   C           C/E      F       F/G
as far as that crow can fly.
   C           C/E      F       F/G

[Verse 4]
         C       C/E     F       F/G
Now that sad old road is singing,
     C                 C/E         F       F/G
this old heart’s got a tear in its eye.
     C         C/E           F       F/G
It’s all I can do to turn my back on you,

kiss my little world good-bye.
