In times lik[A]e these
In times like t[E]hose
What will be wil[A]l be
And so it go[E]es

And it always goes

2nd Verse


---------

And there has always been [F#m]laughing, crying, birth, and dying
B[B]oys and girls with hearts that take and give and break
And h[F#m]eal and grow and recreate and raise and [B]nurture
But then hurt from time to time like [A]these
And times like [E]those
And what will be will [A]be
And so it [E]goes

3rd Verse


---------

And there will always be [F#m]stop and go and fast and slow
Action, R[B]eaction, sticks and stones and broken bones
[F#m]Those for peace and those for war
And god bless [B]these ones, not those ones
But these ones made times [A]like these
And times like[E] those
What will be will [A]be
And so [E]it goes

And it always goes
[F#m]on and on and o[B]n and on and on
[F#m]on and on and o[B]n and on and on it [A]goes
hmm hmm [E]hmm
hmm hmm [A]hmm
hmm hmm [E]hmm

Outro
[-----] F#m Riff 01
But somehow I know it won't be the same
F#m Riff 01
Somehow I know it'll never be the same.


Another very smooth song by Jack Johnson. Just brilliant.
