N.C.    D


Verse 1:
D
I wanna go to India
D
Put faces to paper
                          G
Put visuals to words that I've read
      A
Get a better understandin' of the culture that's surroundin'
                                                                   D
All the scriptures I've been poundin', watchin' play out inside my head

Verse 2:
A
I'd go to Kuru Sectura
                                                                 G
You know, I couldn't even tell you if I am or not pronouncin' it right
    A
But comin' from a cousin lovin' clubfoot somethin' somethin'
                                                      D
Backwood searcher, I would hope that you'd admire the try


Bridge:
G                 D
I'd go to all the places
             G
Where Nurada stood
D                     A
I'd read the Bhagavad Gita
                   D
I'd read the song by God


Verse 3:
D
You know the Bgavat Ghita
                                                           G
You know the Ghita's just a chapter in an epic 'bout a footbridge wide
    A
I'd love to tell ya 'bout it, though I'm 'fraid it'd take forever
                                                               D
I'm 'fraid it'd take forever, and I'd hate to take up all your time
D
But anyways, I read it
                                                     G
I read it to the credits, and Vyasa wrote it masterfully
   A
It took a little under two years for me to make it through
                                                           D
But now I'm here and tellin' you, it changed me metaphysically


Bridge:
G                      D
It taught me all about Dharma
                     G
The thing I ought to do
D                A                         D  A
Till the big man dances and starts it all anew
D
Start again


[Instrumental Break]
D      G  A      D A D
D  G  A      D A D


Bridge:
G                      D
It taught me all about Dharma
                     G
The thing I ought to do
D                 A                         D
Until the big man dances and starts it all anew


Verse 4:
A
I wanna Tirtha Yatra
                                                         G
Roll like the Pandavas with my brothers, and my mom, and wife
        A                                                        D
All the boys could bring their ladies 'cause the one that Indrid gave me
       A           G             A                              D
Is the momma to my babies, and I ain't about to split my nights
D
It wouldn't be all different
                                                             G
To how we're actually livin' 'cept we'd leave behind all our merch
         A
But we'd bring along our fiddles, basses, and rental guitars and mandolins
                                  D
'Cause that's the way that Dharma works


Bridge:
G                         D
We'd play Louisville Breakdown
                  G
We'd play Shelvin Rock
D              A
We'd sing Hare Krishna
                  D
We'd play a song by God


Outro:
A      D
