Chords

As recorded by Carole King (From the 1980 Album PEARLS - SONGS OF GOFFIN AND KING) [Intro] A [Verse 1]
A
No I'd rather go and journey

A
Where the diamond crescents flowing

A
And run across the valley

A
Beneath the sacred mountain

A
And wander through the forest

A
Where the trees have leaves of prisms

     E
That make the light up into colors

                     A
That no one know the names of
[Verse 2]
A
And when it's time I'll go and lay

A
Beside the legendary fountain

A
Till I see her form reflected

A
In its clear and gentle waters

A
And if you think I'm ready

A
You may lead me to the chasm

          E             E7
Where the rivers of our visions

     E         A
Flow into one another
[Verse 3]
A
And I'll stay awhile and wonder

A
At the mist that they created

A
And lose myself within it

A
Cleanse my mind and body

A
And I know at that moment

A
As I stand in that cathedral

E
I will want to dive

                            A
Beneath the white cascading water
[Banjo Solo] A E D A [Verse 4]
A
She may beg and she may plead

A
And she may argue with her logic

A
Mention all the things I'll lose

A
That really have no value

A
Tho' I doubt that she will ever

A
Come to understand the meaning

E
In the end she'll surely know

               A
I was not born to follow
[Outro] A E D A E D A
