Back to the Well
[Intro]
A D
[Verse]
AWatch out where you're coming from, the pDetal's off the rose.
ANever know what you may find, that iDn the garden grows.
And fEar along the river path, beDyond the rising sun,
A seErpent sits to bide its time, beDyond the chosen one, the chosen oAne.D  A  D  
[Verse]
AA foolish taste, forbidden fruit, a moDment on the tongue.
AAnd evermore, a hidden score, which onDly angels sung.
The cloEuds roll in, a whistle blows, the tDiger by the tail.
A falElen child, an easy take, a loneDly parent's wail.  A lonely wAail.D  
[Chorus]
WF#mhat's the point of goiEng home, If hDome is by your back?
And wF#mhat's the use in layEing low, If no Done's on your track?
The wF#mind may come and Dit may blow, And wAho would ever teEll,
A stroEnger man and a wiser manD, Would go back to the wAell.D  A  D  
[Verse]
AA moment comes in every life, and onDly comes but once.
AMake mistakes right now my friend, befDore you miss the chance.
ETake no view on stranger things, and liDsten to the cry,
Don’t Ewander from the path, my child, or lDet the world go by.  The world goes Aby.D  
[Chorus]
WF#mhat's the point of goiEng home, If homDe is by your back?
And wF#mhat's the use in layEing low, If no oDne's on your track?
The wF#mind may come and Dit may blow, And wAho would ever teEll,
A stroEnger man and a wiser manD, Would go back to the wAell.D  A  D  
[Jam]

[Chorus]
WF#mhat's the point of goiEng home, If homDe is by your back?
And wF#mhat's the use in layEing low, If no oDne's on your track?
The wF#mind may come and Dit may blow, And wAho would ever teEll,
A stroEnger man and a wiser manD, Would go back to the Awell.D  A  D

Back to the Well

[Intro]

A D

[Verse]

A D

Watch out where you're coming from, the petal's off the rose.

A D

Never know what you may find, that in the garden grows.

E D

And far along the river path, beyond the rising sun,

E D A D A D

A serpent sits to bide its time, beyond the chosen one, the chosen one.

[Verse]

A D

A foolish taste, forbidden fruit, a moment on the tongue.

A D

And evermore, a hidden score, which only angels sung.

E D

The clouds roll in, a whistle blows, the tiger by the tail.

E D A D

A fallen child, an easy take, a lonely parent's wail. A lonely wail.

[Chorus]

F#m E D

What's the point of going home, If home is by your back?

F#m E D

And what's the use in laying low, If no one's on your track?

F#m D A E

The wind may come and it may blow, And who would ever tell,

E D A D A D

A stronger man and a wiser man, Would go back to the well.

Make mistakes right now my friend, before you miss the chance.

Take no view on stranger things, and listen to the cry,

Don’t wander from the path, my child, or let the world go by. The world goes by.

[Chorus]

A stronger man and a wiser man, Would go back to the well.
