End of the Innocence- Don Henley

This is just an expansion on other tabs/chords I've seen online. I HATE when
people don't post all the lyrics, or when they do post all the lyrics but only
fill out half the chords. So here you go:

G+G
Remember when the days were long
    C majorC
and rolled beneath a deep blue sky
G+G
Didn't have a care in the world
     C majorC     D MajorD
With mommy and daddy standing by
   G+G
But happily ever after fails
            C majorC
and we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
   G+G
The lawyers dwell on small details
     E minorEm   C majorC    D MajorD
Since daddy had to fly
     E minor 7Em7    Bm7Bm7      Am7Am7
Ah but I know a place where we can go
E minor 7Em7      Cmaj7Cmaj7     D MajorD
That's still untouched by man
E minor 7Em7      Bm7Bm7     Am7Am7
We'll sit and watch the clouds go by
      E minor 7Em7    Cmaj7Cmaj7     D MajorD
and the tall grass wave in the wind
      G+G      D MajorD       C majorC
you can lay your head back on the ground
 E minor 7Em7    Bm7Bm7   Am7Am7
And let your hair fall all around me
G+G   D MajorD     C majorC
Offer up your best defense
   E minor 7Em7    Bm7Bm7 Am7Am7 Cmaj7Cmaj7    D MajorD
But this is the end,      This is the end
      G+G
Of the Innocence

Repeat Intro

G+G
Oh beautiful for spacious skies
C majorC
But now those skies are threatening
G+G
They're beating plowshares into swords
C majorC              D MajorD
For this tired old man that we elected king

G+G
Armchair warriors often fail
        C majorC
And we've been poisoned by these fairytales
G+G
The lawyers clean up all details
   E minorEm  C majorC   D MajorD
Since daddy had to lie
   E minor 7Em7    Bm7Bm7      Am7Am7
But I know a place where we can go
E minor 7Em7  Cmaj7Cmaj7     D MajorD
And wash away the sin
   E minor 7Em7      Bm7Bm7     Am7Am7
We'll sit and watch the clouds go by
    E minor 7Em7    Cmaj7Cmaj7     D MajorD
And the tall grass wave in the wind
    G+G      D MajorD       C majorC
You can lay your head back on the ground
 E minor 7Em7   Bm7Bm7    Am7Am7
Let your hair fall all around me
   G+G   D MajorD     C majorC
Offer up your best defense
E minor 7Em7    Bm7Bm7    Am7Am7  Cmaj7Cmaj7    D MajorD
But this is the end,   This is the end
    G+G
Of the Innocence

G+G
Who knows how long this will last
C majorC
Or how we've come so far so fast
G+G
But somewhere back there in the dust
C majorC            D MajorD
That same small town in each of us
G+G
I need to remember this
C majorC
So baby give me just one kiss
G+G
And let me take a long last look
C majorC       D MajorD
Before we say goodbye
   G+G     D MajorD    C majorC
Just lay your head back on the ground
   E minor 7Em7   Bm7Bm7    Am7Am7
And let your hair fall all around me
G+G   D MajorD    C majorC
Offer up your best defense
E minor 7Em7      Bm7Bm7  Am7Am7  Cmaj7Cmaj7    D MajorD
But this is the end,   This is the end
    G+G
of the Innocence

Repeat intro.
