So It Goes

Tom: A

E A

[Verse 1]
            E
If I was a seagull,
          A
High and aloof
                  E
I'd sail to your house,
                  A
And perch on your roof
               E
But I ain't a seagull,
             A
You know my name
                   E
And the winds blow fortune
               A
The winds blow pain

[Chorus]
     D    E             A
And so it goes, nobody knows
                  E
How to get to the sky
                  A
How to get to the sky

E A

[Verse 2]
           E                       A
If I was a puppy dog, in the early dawn
                    E
I'd make it to your house,
                  A
And sleep on your lawn
                E
But I ain't a puppy dog,
             A
You know my name
                      E
And the winds blowin' fortune
               A
The winds blow pain

[Chorus]
    D      E            A
And so it goes, nobody knows
                  E                       A
How to get to the sky, how to get to the sky
                  E                       A
How to get to the sky, how to get to the sky
