[Intro]
 G   F   G  Em-  C|   G   C   G  Em-C  
In the puGrple setting sun, she rides her horse around the ring
Gives him a kCiss, he starts to run, keeping tGime and galloping
They ride arDound until they're free, into the wilCderness unknown
Living oGut her fantasy on that rCed strawberry roan
On and Gon (on and Con)
On and GonC  
He locks the dGoor, dims the light, trims the knob, flips a switch
He plays a cChord, it sounds alright, his hGead is light, his fingers twitch
He plays the rhDythm and the blues from mCidnight to the dawn
Singin' "HaDve You Heard The News" like there aCin't no other song
On and oGnC  
On and oGnC  
On and Don from the bGeginning
RoCund and round this world keeps spinning
All aGlone (all aClone)
On and GonC  
In the sGummer of the loon, on a hidden harbor shore
By the shCimmering moon they never waGnted nothin' more
And there aDin't another sound they been wCaitin' for so long
She takes his hDand and pulls him down and their Clove lives on and on
On and Gon (on and Con)
                  G     C-  A  
On and on
Standin' Aby his father's grave, trying hard to find a tear
Preacher sDays Jesus saves but he Adid not save him here
And he wEonders right out loud "daddy, Dwhere did we go wrong?"
As his sEad bewildered cryin' leaves him sDtarin' at the stone (at the stone)
On and Aon (on and Don)
On and AonD  
On and Eon from the begAinning
RDound and round this world keeps spinning
All aAlone (all aDlone)
                 A      D-      A-      D-  A  
On and on (on and on)
