Catcher In The Rye

G D C D x 2 G I'm gonna catch me a ride on the subway car D That's heading for the Old North Star C G D And leave my troubles stranded on the mainland G I'm gonna crown the god of night with light D And pull myself clean outta sight C D And turn the phony world I live to sand G I would gladly sail away D And never mind a word you say C G D They're just the figments of your imagination G Cast your riddles at my head D About the way I must be fed C D Upon your rules and schools of institutions G Why Lord why C Were the mountains built so high? D C And the shores of the Sea G D Sometimes get lonely? G Why Lord why C Must I learn to testify? D When all I want to be C G Is just a catcher in the rye? G It's hard to dream within a scheme D That says your soul can't be redeemed C G D And Silent Night is heard outside my window G Days are long and ways are short D And nights are left with no resort C D Except to listen to the lonesome wind blow G Why Lord why C Were the mountains built so high? D C And the shores of the Sea G D Sometimes get lonely? G Why Lord why C Must I learn to testify? D When all I want to be C G Is just a catcher in the rye? G If you can't seem to find the aim D Of the rules set for the game C G D They'll throw you in a school of restitution G They'll look you in the eye and grin D And say "I'd like to be your friend" C D And wear a sign reads "Long Live Execution" G Why Lord why C Were the mountains built so high? D C And the shores of the Sea G D Sometimes get lonely? G Why Lord why C Must I learn to testify? D When all I want to be C G Is just a catcher in the rye?
