Prologue
words and music by Arlo Guthrie
G F9 In the event of my demise G Be sure to include this statement F9 When you are bent on closing my eyes G Thinking about what my life meant F9 Alone on a hill back in '65 G Things looked a lot like changing F9 Singing our songs that we harmonized G Dreaming of worlds rearranging C D G And I don't know why I'm singing tonight Em D Maybe it's time someone told you G C D G Just because you say you've seen the light Em D G Doesn't mean nobody sold you G F9 I can remember all of your smiles G During the demonstrations F9 Taking on what seemed like the whole world G Igniting the hearts of our nations C D Em And together we sang our victory songs Am D Though we were worlds apart G F9 Every thing then has now passed away G Except for the love in my heart F9 Sitting at home on computerized beds G Trying to come to conclusions F9 Seeing reflections from rose-colored heads G Ignoring the states of illusion C D G Drunk in a world of material wealth Em D No one can notice you falling G C D G Fantastic flights once good for your health Em D G Now make you deaf to your calling C D Em And all alone the prophet groans Am D With words as yet unseen G F9 Who'll be awake when the master returns G Who will be lost in their dreams F9 So in the event of my demise G Be sure to include this statement F9 Only the words of love kept alive G Are worthy of not being wasted
