Tuning: Standard EBGDAE
Difficulty: Novice
Capo on 6th fret
Note: don't play the top 'e' string throughout; it just sounds bad
Chords used:
C (032010)
Cadd6 (032210)
D (200232)
Em (022000)
G (320033)
Also, throughout the song there is a little flourish that comes at the end of some of the
lines. I've tabbed it as "GCG" but it's easiest to play by just moving the fingers you've
got on the low E and A strings up and then back down, like this:
e|-x---x---x--|
B|-3---3---2--|
G|-0---0---0--|
D|-0---2---0--|
A|-2---3---2--|
E|-3---0---3--|

B|--------------|
G|--------------|
D|------0h2p0---| x 4
A|--------------|
E|-3------------|
followed by: CCadd6CCadd6CCadd6CCadd6GCG x 2
(you can get away with doing the G as (320010) if you want-- basically taking the top two
fingers of a C and moving them one string down)
G
Up and up and up I climb,
When I came up I was so far behind,
C
My head takes a lickin',
But my heart keeps on tickin,
GCG
Just the same.
C
Always startin' over but somehow,
GCG
I always know where to begin.
G
Round and round and round I ride,
And just when I looked I hadn't even began,
C
To feel the effect,
A cool, dark fever,
GCG
On the brain.
C
That feelin' takin' over,
Like a holy rollercoaster,
GCG
To the grave.
Em
How can I await the day?
D
And last the night I'm here to see?
EmD
How do I await the mother load?
EmGCG
It's the art of feeling naked in your clothes.
G
Again, again, again I tried,
That's how I knew I would never be denied,
C
That face in the mirror,
GCG
Who could it be? It was my own.
C
That cool, dark figure,
GCG
That's when I knew I was alone.
G
On and on and on I drive,
When will I know I have finally arrived?
C
So far I've gone, so far to go,
GCG
It never ends.
CGCG
Always starting over but somehow I always know where to begin
CGCG
Always starting over but somehow I always know where to begin
CGCG
Always starting over but somehow I always know where to begin
