By And By

Intro: A  A
 
Verse 1:
A                    E
Driving through West Virginia
Gbm                   D
 And I've seldom been thinner
A                     E
 With that chip on my shoulder
Gbm                       D
 And this past year I got so much older

Instrumental: A  E  Gbm D
 
Verse 2:
A                  E
 Looking back over my life
Gbm                   D
 Spent the most of it tongue-tied
A                 E
 And I wish I had more time
Gbm              D
Listening to you speak your mind
 
Chorus:
        A
Now I'm thinking 'bout her every day
E
On my mind atypical way
Gbm        D
 Are you a life force
A
Thinking 'bout her every day
E
On my mind atypical way
Gbm        D
 Are you a life force
 
Instrumental -x2-: A  E  Gbm D
 
Verse 3:
A                        E
Drinking coffee black as iron
Gbm                     D
 And I couldn't be much higher
A                       E
 Without falling out of my chair
Gbm                   D
I've been so numb for so many years
 
Chorus:
        A
Now I'm thinking 'bout her every day
E
On my mind atypical way

 Are you a life force

 Are you a life force
 
Bridge:
            E
And it's so easy
      A
To be blinded by the light
        Gbm                 Bm
To feel lonely in the night
                        E
And it's blowing in the breeze babe
      A
I got dust in my eyes
    Gbm
And rust in my mind
        Bm
I'll be home come next spring
          E
Won't you say you love me later
        A
Bye and bye

Verse 4:
A                  E
 Looking back over my life
Gbm                   D
 Spent the most of it tongue-tied
A           E
 Pulling my belt tight
Gbm                   D
 It's just me and the stars tonight
A                  E
 Two fingers and a tide line
Gbm                          D
 Keep my head head above the alpine
A                    E
 Just wish I'd spent more time
Gbm              D
Listening to her speak her mind
 
Chorus:
        A
Now I'm thinking 'bout her every day
E
On my mind atypical way

 Are you a life force

Thinking 'bout her every day
E
On my mind atypical way
Gbm        D
 Are you a life force
 
Chorus:
        A
Now I'm thinking 'bout her every day
E
On my mind atypical way
Gbm        D
 Are you a life force
A
Thinking 'bout her every day
E
On my mind atypical way
Gbm        D
 Are you a life force
   A
To me
