This World Goes Round - Tom Paxton
GThis world goes round Cand Ground.
Green leaves will turn D7to Gbrown.
D7What goes up must come down.
CIt all comes back to Gyou.
And you find whatever you feel.
You lose whatever you steal.
D7Just like a spinning wheel,
Cthe world goes round and Ground.
(Guitar solo)
GPeople knocking on the golden door.
D7They got plenty but they all want more.
CThey don't know what they're looking for.
GAnd the world goes D7round and Ground.
(Repeat first verse.)
We keep fightin' but we just can't win.
Looks like we're going to do it again.
That's just where I came in,
And the world goes round and round.
(Repeat first verse.)
Rain water runs down to sea.
Evaporation makes the clouds fly free.
Then it comes and it rains on me.
And the world goes round and round.
(Repeat first verse.)
