[Intro]

G  F  C
 
 
[Verse 1]
G
Remember back when I was born
F
High up in the sky
G
Looking down upon the scene
F
I can't recall just why
G
A white love light come up to me
F                  C
I followed it back down
C      G
Sayin' this is the tune of the Earth my friends
F                 G
When I want to be around
 
 
[Chorus]
G
I want to be around
G        F                 C
When the stars fall on the ground
G
Walking hand in hand with every man
F                        C
Sleeping in the sun with everyone
 
 
[Verse 2]
G
Abraham come in one more time
F
It must have been in L.A.
G
He said "I just came by to say hello."
G
I just said, "Joe won't you stay?"
F                     C
"All right, O.K.," he said to me
F                      C
"I got nothing else to do."
F
So Abe walked in, he's back again
G                 C
Until his life is through
 
 
[Verse 3]
G
He's going to be around
G       F                    C
While a whole new world goes down
G                         C
Walking hand in hand with every man
G                        C
Sleeping in the sun with everyone
 
 
[Verse 4]
G
Every night by morning light
G F              C
I look up on the hill
G
Digging all the cosmic sights
G     F              C
And I recognize it's Will
C           Am         F       C
I said, "Oh Well, it's getting time
C   F                    C
I'm beginning to feel my load."
C         G
He said, "Don't worry brother
G
"Cause you and the others
C    F                 C
Will see it out on the road."
 
[Chorus]
G
And I want to be around
F                  C
When all over this world
F   G
You can't hear a sound 'cept everyone
G       F              C
Singing songs of glory in the sun
