Goin Back Cifras

Author Note:
The A chord in the verse is in parentheses because The Byrds don't play it,
even though the standard rock progression of VII-IV-I would include it.
Also, the melody line suggests it. I play it that way. It's up to you.
 
[Verse 1]
  E
I think I'm going back
       D                   (A)        E
to the things I learned so well in my youth
  E
I think I'm returnin' to
      D               (A)                      E
Those days when I was young enough to know the truth
 
[Bridge 1]
          C#m                  G#m
Now there are no games to only pass the time
         C#m                    E
No more electric trains, no more trees to climb
 
[Chorus 1]
             A               B        E
But thinking young & growin' older is no sin
    A              B               E
And I can play the game of life to win
 
[Verse 2]
E
I can recall the time
       D                 (A)            E
When I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend
E
Now I think I've got
  D             (A)             E
A lot more than just my toys to lend
 
[Bridge 2]
            C#m                      G#m
Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide
          C#m                E
And every day can be a magic carpet ride
 
[Chorus 2]
  A             B              E
A little bit of courage is all we lack
   A               B       E
So catch me if you can I'm going back
 
[Interlude]
A             B              E
  La la la la la la la la la la
 
[Bridge 2]
            C#m                      G#m
Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide
          C#m               E
And every day can be a magic carpet ride
 
[Chorus 2]
  A             B              E
A little bit of courage is all we lack
   A               B           E
So catch me if you can ... I'm going back
 
[Interlude]
A             B              E
  La la la la la la la la la la
 
[Coda]
C#m       G#m
Aa-ah     Aa-ah
C#m       E
Aa-ah     Aa-ah
