Verse 1
Em 
Does it go from east to west, y'all
Body free and a body less, y'all
Em 
Come again just to start a fresh and
Once again to find a home
Cadd9 
In the moment
A9sus4 
of the meantime
Em 
Dropping in coming through the mesh, y'all
Checking in just to get it blessed, y'all
Em 
Hard to leave when it's picturesque and
Find a form that's free to roam
Cadd9 
Where you come from
A9sus4 
Where you going

Verse 2
Em 
Do it all then it all again, y'all
Make it up and you make a friend, y'all
Em 
Paddle on just around the bend and
Find a place where you can see
Cadd9 
All the mamas
A9sus4 
and the papas
Em 
Take a chance on a recommend, y'all
Hard as hell just to comprehend, y'all
Em 
Disbelief that I do suspend and
Easy now to find a breeze
Cadd9 
Where you come from
A9sus4 
Where you going
Em 
Em 
Cadd9

Accurately transcribed by the GuitarTuna team.

Barre chords ask a lot of the fretting hand. The barre course walks through hand position, pressure, and the cleanest way to land each shape. Practice barre chords

Sus2 and sus4 swap the third in a chord for a second or fourth. The sus course covers the shapes and how to drop them into a progression. Practice sus chords

Even perfectly fretted chords sound wrong on an out-of-tune guitar. Get in tune in seconds, right in your browser, with the free online guitar tuner
