I Want to Be Around Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Remem[G]ber back when I was born
[F]High up in the [C]sky
[G]Looking down upon the scene
[F]I can't recall just [C]why
A white love [Em]light [E]come [Am]up t[C]o me
[F]I followed it back [C]down
Sayin' this is the tun[G]e of the E[Am]arth,
my [Em]friends
[Am]When I wan[F]t to be around[C]

[Verse 2]
[G]I want to be around
When [F]the stars fall on [C]the ground
[G]Walking hand in hand with every
[C]man[Em][E][Am][C]
[Gm]Sleeping in the sun with [F]everyone
[C]

[Verse 3]
[G]Abraham, come in one more time
It [F]must have been in [C]L.A.
[G]He just [F]said, "Joe, won't [C]you stay?"
"All right, [E]okay," [Am]he said to me
[C]"I got not[F]hing else to do.[C]"
So Abe walked [G]in, he's [Am]back [Em]again
Un[F]til his life [C]is through

[Verse 4]
[G]He's going to be around
While a [F]whole new world goes [C]down
[G]Walking hand in hand with
every [C]man[E][Am]
[Gm]Sleeping in the sun with [F]everyone
[C]

[Verse 5]
[G]Every night by morning light
[F]I look up on the [C]hill
[G]Digging all the cosmic sights
And I [F]re cognize it's [C]Will
I said, "Oh [E]well, it's get[Am]ting time
[C]I'm beginnin[F]g to feel my loa[C]d."

[Verse 6]
He said, [C]"Don't worry, [G]brother
'Cause [Am]you and the oth[Em]ers
[F]Will see it out on the [C]road."

[Verse 7]
And [G]I want to be around
[F]When all over this wor[C]ld[G]
You can't hear a sound 'cept
[C]eve[Em]ry on[Am]e
[Gm]Singing songs of [F]glory in [C]the sun

[Outro 1]
[C]
