I wonder if there's no forFever

No walking hand in hCand

Down a yellow brick rDmoad G

To never never land C

These days I get to where I'm gFoing

Make it there eventuallCy

Follow the trail of brDmeadcrumbs G

To where I'm meant to bFe G

To where I'm meant to bCe

I don't know what brought you to mFe

That was up to yCou

There's so many come to sDmee me G

Who want their own tattCoo

I fixed a needle in a hFolder

Laid my hand upon your spCine

And there upon your shDmoulder G

I drew the picture as your sCign

When I think abDmout us G

I see the picture that we mCade Am

The picture to remFind us G

Now and then I think of yCou

Any which way we're all shDmufflin' G

Forward in the qCueue

They like to move my operFation

They like to get me off the pCier

And I dream I'm on a stDmeamer G

Pullin' out of hCere

When I think abDmout us G

I see a picture that we mCade Am

The picture to remFind us G
