So It Goes
Capo 2
AmHope is a gun,
That you loCad every daGy,
AmAs it's chamber is spun,
You bite doCwn on the steel,
And you prEmay.
So it goAmes,      G/B      Cwe re-Gcycle the errors we've mAmade,
So it goAmes,      G/B      Cwe're condemneGd to repeat and to fAmade.
AmLove is a bomb,
That can Ckeep you in Gplace,
AmCan keep you alone,
Or Cjust go off in your Emface.
So it goAmes,      G/B      Cwe re-Gcycle the errors we've mAmade,
So it goAmes,      G/B      Cwe're condemnGed to repeat and to Amfade,
So it goAmes,      G/B      Cit's a Gcurious way to prevaAmil,
So it goAmes,      G/B      Cwe're perGpetually chasing our tAmails.
FLeave your logic behinCd,
FPut it out of your minCd,
GThat's not how we do things round Amhere,
FIt couldn't be easiCer,
FThis splendid amnesCia,
GOh we must not forget,
To forget, to forget, to fAmorget.
AmHope is a gun,
That you loCad every daGy,
AmAs it's chamber is spun,
You bite doCwn on the steel,
And you prEmay..
So it goAmes,      G/B      Cwe re-Gcycle the errors we've mAmade,
So it goAmes,      G/B      Cwe're condemnGed to repeat and to Amfade,
So it goAmes,      G/B      Cit's a Gcurious way to prevaAmil,
So it goAmes,      G/B      Cwe're perGpetually chasing our tAmails
