Where The Good Ones Go

G F#m F C G F#m F C G F#m F C Oh I reached in the cupboard for something to feed you G F#m F C And I hoped that these words were enough to keep you G F#m F C But the moon is so high and the stars are so bright G F#m F C You could be the one that I needed G F#m F C when the sun came you hit the trail G F#m F C Like an old cowboy bent for the wild road G F#m F C And so I carved your name in to all the tree legs G F#m F C And we waited for you until dark came G F#m F C I once knew a man who told a tale as tall G F#m F C as the mountains that he came from G F#m F C and he said there’s a place where all the folks wait G F#m F C when death strips their faces of color G Bm C Are you there? (Are you there where the good ones go?) G Bm C Are you there? (Are you there where the good ones go?) G F#m F C My grandpa said that he wandered himself off G F#m F C into the heart of the forest G F#m F C and his collar still sings the engraves of his name G F#m F C and he chases field mice under moonlight G Bm C Are you there? (Are you there where the good ones go?) G Bm C Are you there? (Are you there where the good ones go?) G Bm Em C Are you there where the good ones go G Bm Em C Can you write me a letter, could you visit home? G Bm Em C You could rest at the foot of my bed G Bm Em N.C. And whisper reassurances because .... G F#m F C I’m not sure of anything G F#m F C I’m not sure of anything G F#m F C I’m not sure of anything G F#m F C Just like the dog who lost himself gone G F#m F C on the farm you are living in gardens G F#m F C and the fields are so high and the vegetables ripe G F#m F C in the place where the good ones go G Bm C When they’re gone (Are you there where the good ones go?) G Bm C When they’re gone (Are you there where the good ones go?)
