Up around the bend

C
1. There's a place up ahead and I'm goin',
G G7 C
just as fast as my feet can fly.
C
Come away, come away if you're goin',
G G7 C
leave the sinkin' ship behind.

F C G
Come on the risin' wind,
F C G
we're goin' up around the bend. Whoooh.

C
2. Bring a song and a smile for the banjo,
G G7 C
better get while the gettin's good.

Hitch a ride to the end of the highway,
G G7 C
where the neons turn to wood. + CHORUS

C
3. You can ponder perpetual motion,
G G7 C
fiz your mind for a crystal day.

Always time for a good conversation,
G G7 C
there's an ear for what you say. + CHORUS

C
4. Catch a ride to the end of the highway,
G G7 C
and we'll meet by the big red tree.

There's a place up ahead and I'm goin',
G G7 C
come along, come along with me. + CHORUS

(Creedence Clearwater Revival)
