The End of the Innocence chords
Don Henley

Capo I

G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD 2x

G+G
I 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 minorEm    B minorBm     A minorAm
Ah, but I know a place where we can go,
E minorEm      Cmaj7Cmaj7    D MajorD
that's still untouched by man
E minorEm      B minorBm    A minorAm
We'll sit and watch the clouds go by,
    E minorEm     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 minorEm    B minorBm    A minorAm
and let your hair fall all around me
G+G   D MajorD    C majorC
Offer up your best defense,
  E minorEm     B minorBm A minorAm  Cmaj7Cmaj7    D MajorD
but this is the end,   this is the end
    G+G
of the innocence

G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD

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 minorEm    B minorBm     A minorAm
Ah, but I know a place where we can go,
E minorEm      Cmaj7Cmaj7    D MajorD
that's still untouched by man
E minorEm      B minorBm    A minorAm
We'll sit and watch the clouds go by,
    E minorEm     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 minorEm    B minorBm    A minorAm
and let your hair fall all around me
G+G   D MajorD    C majorC
Offer up your best defense,
  E minorEm     B minorBm A minorAm  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,
 E minorEm   C majorC    D MajorD
before we say goodbye

   G+G    D MajorD     C majorC
Just lay your head back on the ground,
  E minorEm    B minorBm    A minorAm
and let your hair fall all around me
G+G   D MajorD    C majorC
Offer up your best defense,
  E minorEm     B minorBm A minorAm  Cmaj7Cmaj7    D MajorD
but this is the end,   this is the end,
    G+G
of the innocence

G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD 5x
