Goin Back

goin back ( goffin king ) although i love dustys and the byrds versions , this is my take on caroles version from the writer album ( 1969 ) . the la la las were done with james taylor . the key of G major is as on the record . acknowledgement to other ug versions for the lyrics . Verse 1 G Dm7/G G i think i’m goin’ back to the things i learned so well in my youth G Dm7/G G i think i’m returning to those days when i was young enough to know the truth Em7 Bm7 now there are no games to only pass the time Em7 G no more electric trains , no more trees to climb Am7 Am7/D G but thinking young and growing older is no sin Am7 Am7/D G and i can play the game of life to win Verse 2 i can recall a time when i wasn’t ashamed to reach out to a friend now i think i’ve got a lot more than just my toys to lend now there’s more to do than watch my sailboat glide but every day can be a magic carpet ride a little bit of courage is all we lack so catch me if you can , i’m goin’ back G Dm7/G la la la la la la la la la la la G Dm7/G la la la la la la la la la Em7 Bm7 now there’s more to do than watch my sailboat glide Em7 G but every day can be a magic carpet ride Am7 Am7/D G a little bit of courage is all we lack Am7 Am7/D G so catch me if you can , i’m goin’ back and so on harder chords Dm7/G = G11 ( notes G D F A C ) Am7/D = D11 ( notes D A C E G )
