Arlo Guthrie – I Want To Be Around (Guitar)

G
Remember back when I was born

F
High up in the sky

G
Looking down upon the scene

F
I can't recall just why

G
A white love light come up to me

F                  C
I followed it back down

C      G
Sayin' this is the tune of the Earth my friends

F                 G
When I want to be around

G
I want to be around

G        F                 C
When the stars fall on the ground

G
Walking hand in hand with every man

F                        C
Sleeping in the sun with everyone

G
Abraham come in one more time

F
It must have been in L.A.

G
He said "I just came by to say hello."

G
I just said, "Joe won't you stay?"

F                     C
"All right, O.K.," he said to me

F                      C
"I got nothing else to do."

F
So Abe walked in, he's back again

G                 C
Until his life is through

G
He's going to be around

G       F                    C
While a whole new world goes down

G                         C
Walking hand in hand with every man

G                        C
Sleeping in the sun with everyone

G
Every night by morning light

G F              C
I look up on the hill

G
Digging all the cosmic sights

G     F              C
And I recognize it's Will

C           Am         F       C
I said, "Oh Well, it's getting time

C   F                    C
I'm beginning to feel my load."

C         G
He said, "Don't worry brother

G
"Cause you and the others

C    F                 C
Will see it out on the road."

G
And I want to be around

F                  C
When all over this world

F   G
You can't hear a sound 'cept everyone

G       F              C
Singing songs of glory in the sun
