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

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