Verse 1
Someone (G major) sat and told me something new.
I'm taking off out there a mile
or more is meadows
where the soft green summer children go.
I'd like a lot to look at
them a little while.
Remember being small of curled hair
and loved and let alone to
use my fingertips
even on the grown -ups' pretty hands.
That certainly was a long time ago.
I understand your crucifix.
Come on, we'll walk away.
We know already how to climb a hill
and here's the simple plan.
I lift up the wire while you go under
and you lift up the wire for me.

(D major) by yourself.

And the poor man can (A major) 't
make (D major) it by himsel (G major) f,
(C major) by himsel (G major) f.

By himself.
With no (G major) one to share his bread,
he would very (C major) soon be dead.

By yourself
What's (G major) the good of trying
to be an if -there
Ain't (C major) no one to see it but you (G major) can't see
