The Byrds 1969 (Carole King/Gerry Goffin) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasn%27t_Born_to_Follow G C 2x
        G             C                  G                  C
Oh, I'd rather go and journey, where the diamond crescent's flowing and

G              C         G                C
run across the valley, beneath the sacred mountain and

D                        Dsus2 D
wander through the forest 

          C                       
Where the trees have leaves of prisms, and break the light in colors,

     D                G        C G C
that no one knows the names of 

    G                   C              G            C
And when it's time I'll go, and wait beside a legendary fountain,

G               C              G                 C
till I see your form reflected in it's clear and jeweled waters;

    D                     Dsus2 D
and if you think I'm ready

        C                    
You may lead me to the chasm, where the rivers of our vision,

     D         G     C G C
flow into one another 
G C 2x
       G       C                G               C
I will want to die beneath, the white cascading waters,

        G            C              G              C
she may beg, she may plead, she may argue with her logic;

    D                                    Dsus2 D
and mention all the things I'll lose

     C
That really have no value, in the end she will surely know,

  D              G
I wasn't born to follow
G C 2x G Set8
