Peter McPoland – On We Go (Guitar)

             G
The day has come

   C          D          G
tomorrow has run out of excuses

      C               D               G     G/F#         Em
the coming years will know the way we choose is for the best

C D          G
  So we will go

             G
The gowns are gone

   C                  D          G
The caps have been trodden by the crowds

          C               D               G     G/F#         Em
and as our hands begin to bend and our youth has met an end

C D          G
  So we will go

Em                            C
And as our innocence forgets us

Em                            C
And as our teenage sins regret us

Em                            C            D
And as our minutes turn into seconds in the past

         G
So on we go!

              G
There will be times

           C          D               G
where the wash-outs will beg us all to fail

          C               D               G     G/F#         Em
And the red love that the red hearts knew will pinken and pale

C D          G
  So we will go

              G
There will be love

           C          D               G
and so it was before there will be love

      C               D      G     G/F#         Em
And so it is again there will be heaven up above

C          D          G
So help me God on we will go

              G
There will be life

           C                   D               G
There will be taxis, tears, and taxes and strife

      C                            D      G     G/F#          Em
And your friends will find their husbands and their wives and grow old with delight

C          D          G
So on they will go

              G
There will be ends

           C                   D               G
There will be death and dusk and dark and mailmen

      C               D                G     G/F#         Em
And the letters will seem dated and the dates will let her in

           C          D          G
On the fact that we're still going along

          Em
So we drive

    C          D               G
past medians and mediums and highs

    C          D               G
Hellos and such and good days never bad

      C       D      G
People are expected to be had

    C          D               G
You never found yourself thinking of the past

    C          D               G
Medians and mediums we drive

              G
The day is here

   C          D               G
The future has run out of time

  C           D               G
The song has run out of a rhyme

      C               D                G     G/F#         Em
As teenage years and frightened hearts are moving out the door

  C           D               G
Children, we will be nevermore

  C   D    Em
But so on we go

 C   D   G
So on we go
