    C         Em   D
All those who go before us,

    Am7             Am   G6 Em
The mothers and the kings,

C               Em    D
Shakespeare and my father,

         Am7                 G6 Em
Who kick dust up in my dreams,

          C                D7/F#
If you're too close to the voices,

        Am                      C
You can stray far from the track,

       D    G
So goodbye, my friends,

Dm   Am         G     D    Am
It's my turn to won't look back.
Break: G Em C D Am7 A Am7 A
    Am     C              D
The ghosts have had their moment,

    G    Am7           Am
Now they fade into the sun,

C              G/D  D
Shining like a carousel,

     Am7                 Bm7
When summer's just begun,

C                D7
Bonded for their silence,

Am                      G6 Am7
And I threw away the key,

    D           G
Someone's going down,

D7/F#    Am  D Am
But it's not me.

G               Bm
All because I'm thankful,

         F6            C
For what we don't understand

    G                Bm
The undiscovered country,

          Fmaj7       A  G6 Am
Between a woman and a man.
Break: C D Am C D Am7 D7 D/E Am
    C                G  D
All those who follow after,

    D7             Am
Are children who we pledge,

     C             D
To a story of some sailors,

    Am                  G6 Em
Who float beyond the edge,

         D              G  D7  D
To their little old box of wishes,

      Am             C
Oh we want them to retire,

D
Just beyond their grasp,

    G       Am
And plain desires.

    C             D
The old men never helped us,

     Am7
They took our every vow,

C                D
Turned them into money,

    Am
And look where we are now,

C             D7  D
Waiting for a savior,

        Am
But she walks alone to sea,

C       D     G/D       G6 Em C
And someone's going down,

    G    Am7     Am
She went down for me.

G                        Bm
And still she says she's thankful,

D        F6            C
For what we don't understand,

    G                D/F#
The undiscovered country,

         Fmaj7        Am7
In every woman, every man,
Break: C D Am C D Am C D Am G/D G6 C Am
     C        N.C.
Some day will come the questions,
N.C. With no answers, but we ask, N.C. Just the same when we were children, N.C. Which was sweet but doesn't last,
         G                Am7
From the undiscovered country,

   Am
We hear the old refrain,

    D
The sky is blue,

        C   G6    Am
For the few who remain.

G               Bm
All because I'm thankful,

        F6              C
For the things we never planned,

    G                D/F#
The undiscovered country,

         Fmaj7        Am7
In every woman, every man,

G                 D
Raise a glass, be thankful,

         F6            C
For what we don't understand,

    G                D7/F# Bm F
The undiscovered country,

N.C.                      Am7 D D7 Am
Between a woman and a man.
