Prolouge

Arlo Guthrie

 GF9
 In the event of my demise
 G
Be sure to include this statement
 F9
When you are bent on closing my eyes
 G
Thinking about what my life meant
 F9
Alone on a hill back in '65
 G
Things looked a lot like changing
 F9
Singing our songs that we harmonized
 G
Dreaming of worlds rearranging

 CDG
And I don't know why I'm singing tonight
 EmD
 Maybe it's time someone told you
 GCDG
 Just because you say you've seen the light
 EmDG
 Doesn't mean nobody sold you

 GF9
 I can remember all of your smiles
 G
During the demonstrations
 F9
Taking on what seemed like the whole world
 G
Igniting the hearts of our nations
 CDEm
And together we sang our victory songs
 AmD
Though we were worlds apart  
 GF9
 Every thing then has now passed away
 G
Except for the love in my heart

 F9
Sitting at home on computerized beds
 G
Trying to come to conclusions
 F9
Seeing reflections from rose-colored heads
 G
Ignoring the states of illusion
 CDG
Drunk in a world of material wealth
 EmD
 No one can notice you falling
 GCDG
 Fantastic flights once good for your health
 EmDG
 Now make you deaf to your calling

 CDEm
 And all alone the prophet groans
 AmD
With words as yet unseen  
 GF9
 Who'll be awake when the master returns
 G
Who will be lost in their dreams  

 F9
So in the event of my demise
 G
Be sure to include this statement
 F9
Only the words of love kept alive
 G
Are worthy of not being wasted


Am C D Em F9 G
