They made up their minds
Bm
And they started packing
C#
F#m
They left before the sun came up that day
F#
Bm
An exit to eternal summer slacking
F#m
C#
But where were they going without ever
F#m
Knowing the way?
F#m
They drank up the wine
Bm
And they got to talking
C#

F#m
Knowing the way?

They’ll never get hungry
A
E
They’ll never get old and grey
A

They’re happier there today
C#

But where were they going without ever
F#m
Knowing the way?
