The Going chords by Randy Rogers Band

Key: A

Intro:

A


Verse 1:
A
We played all night for nothing
A
But that ain't nothing new
A
When you're trying get a fire lit
A
That's just what you do
A

I was putting my guitar in the case
A
And some cowboy at the bar
A
Said how's about dropping me someplace
A
I said where
A
He said aw, not far


Verse 2:
A
Half a mile outside of town
A
He was rolling something up
A
By the time I hit the river
A
You see out of the truck
A
The road just kept on winding
A
He sang some cattle song
A
I just kept on driving
A
While the melody and the river
A
Rolled along


Chorus:
    G
Sometimes it ain't what ya know
         D
It's the way you get knowing
   G
It ain't so much the getting to
   D                A
As much as it's the going


Verse 3:
A
I could see my hands
A
But they were kinda hard to feel
A
I just know that they were holding
A
On to the steering wheel
A
I looked at the cowboy
A
He was looking at the land
A
And singing in some language
A
I didn't understand
      G
Kinda sound like
  A
Ooh
G A
Ooh


Verse 4:
A
When we hit crystal city
A
The moon was going down
A
Cactus and coyotes
A
Crawling all around
A
We walked out into nothing
A
Till we were nothing too
A
Somewhere in the silence
A
Something started ringing true
A
He snapped off a live oak branch
A
And drew a circle in the sand
A
He put another in the center
             N.C.
And wiped it clean with his hand


Instrumental Break:
C  G  D  A
C  G  D  A


Verse 5:
A
I woke up in a parking lot
A
Sweating from the heat
A
Cowboy wasn't there anymore
A
But his hat was in the seat
A
Some ol western song
A
Swirling in my head
A
Dancing like a smoke ring
A
Around the last words he said


Chorus:
    G
Sometimes it ain't what ya know
         D
It's the way you get knowing
   G
It ain't so much the getting to
   D                A
As much as it's the going
    G
Sometimes it ain't what ya know
         D
It's the way you get knowing
   G
It ain't so much the getting to
   D                A
As much as it's the going
A
It's the going
