G
In the purple setting sun, she rides her horse around the ring
C G
Gives him a kiss, he starts to run, keeping time and galloping
D C
They ride around until they're free, into the wilderness unknown
G C
Living out her fantasy on that red strawberry roan
G C
On and on (on and on)
G C
On and on
G
He locks the door, dims the light, trims the knob, flips a switch
C G
He plays a chord, it sounds alright, his head is light, his fingers twitch
D C
He plays the rhythm and the blues from midnight to the dawn
D C
Singin' "Have You Heard The News" like there ain't no other song
G C
On and on
G C
On and on
D G
On and on from the beginning
C
Round and round this world keeps spinning
G C
All alone (all alone)
G C
On and on
G
In the summer of the loon, on a hidden harbor shore
C G
By the shimmering moon they never wanted nothin' more
D C
And there ain't another sound they been waitin' for so long
D C
She takes his hand and pulls him down and their love lives on and on
G C
On and on (on and on)
G C A
-
On and on
A
Standin' by his father's grave, trying hard to find a tear
D A
Preacher says Jesus saves but he did not save him here
E D
And he wonders right out loud "daddy, where did we go wrong?"
E D
As his sad bewildered cryin' leaves him starin' at the stone (at the stone)
A D
On and on (on and on)
A D
On and on
E A
On and on from the beginning
D
Round and round this world keeps spinning
A D
All alone (all alone)
A D A D A
