[Intro]
C A E F X2
[Verse 1]
C A
This day is getting older,
E F
In fading light it's beautiful.
C A
This wind is blowing colder,
E F
And too soon I'll feel it's pull.
C
Still, I took all my chances,
A
Earned myself an even score.
E F
Try to learn my lessons well.
C
And I don't have the answers,
A
For those questions anymore.
E F
Only love can beat both heaven and hell.
[Chorus]
C A
So sturdy up, sturdy up your heart,
E F
For the road is long ahead.
C A
I'll be with you even though we're apart,
E F
But your road is yours to tread.
C A
And so it goes, and so it goes,
E F
And so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind,
C A E F
so it goes... and so it goes, and so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind, mind, mind.

C A E F X4
[Verse 2]
C A
I've grown old on this ocean,
E F
Gave her all, my stronger years.
C A
Gave my wife my devotion,
E F
When she died, the ocean my tears.
C
I've tried to teach you well son,
A
All of everything I knew.
E F
Of how to live this life be true.
C
Don't bow your head to no one,
A
And no matter what you do,
E F
If you start then see it through.
[Chorus]
C A
So sturdy up, sturdy up your heart,
E F
For the road is long ahead.
C A
I'll be with you even though we're apart,
E F
But your road is yours to tread.
C A
And so it goes, and so it goes,
E F
And so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind,
C A E F C
so it goes... and so it goes, and so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind, mind, mind.
