[Intro]C#[Refrão]G#
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
G#
While I watch them ride with my dreams away
C#
To the summer sunset on a holy night
C#
On a long back road, all the tears I fight
G#
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
G#
While I watch them ride with my dreams away
C#
To the summer sunset on a holy night
C#
On a long back road, all the tears I fight
[Primeira Parte]G#
At fifteen, the innocence was gone astray
G#
Had to leave my home at an early age
C#
I saw Mama prayin', I saw Daddy grind
C#
All my tender problems, had to leave behind
[Pré-Refrão]G#
It's been umpteen summers, and I'm not in my bed
G#
On the back of the bus in a bunk with the band
G#
Goin' so hard, gotta choose myself
G#
Undеrpaid and overwhelmed
C#
I might cook, clеan, but still won't fold
C#
Still workin' all my life, you know
C#
Only God knows, only God knows
C#
Only God knows
[Refrão]G#
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
G#
While I watch them ride with my fears away
C#
To the summer sunset on a holy night
C#
On a long back road, all the tears I fight
G#
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
G#
While I watch them ride with my fears away
C#
To the summer sunset on a holy night
C#
On a long back road, all the tears I fight
( C )
[Segunda Parte]G#
Sixteen dollars, workin' all day
G#
Ain't got time to waste, I got art to make
C#
I got love to create on this holy night
C#
They won't dim my light, all these years I fight
[Pré-Refrão]G#
It's been thirty-eight summers, and I'm not in my bed
G#
On the back of the bus in a bunk with the band
G#
Goin' so hard, now I miss my kids
G#
Overworked and overwhelmed
C#
I might cook, clеan, but still won't fold
C#
Still workin' all my life, you know
C#
Only God knows, only God knows
C#
Only God knows
[Refrão]G#

Oh, oh

Oh, Oh
[Ponte]G#
At fifteen, the innocence was gone astray
G#
Had to take care of home at an early age
C#
I saw Mama cryin', I saw Daddy lyin'
C#
Had to sacrifice and leave my fears behind
A#m
The legacy, if it's the last thing I do
F#
You'll remember me 'cause we got somethin' to prove
F#Fm
In your memory, on a highway to truth
G#C#
Still see your faces when you close your eyes
( C )
