Wasn't Born To Follow
Carole King Gerry Goffin
Song : D
Intro :
G C G C
G C
Oh, I'd rather go and journey,
G C
where the diamond crescent's flowing and
G C
run across the valley,
G C
beneath the sacred mountain and
D Dsus2 D
wander through the forest
C
Where the trees have leaves of prisms,
and break the light in colors,
D G C G C
that no one knows the names of
G C
And when it's time I'll go,
G C
and wait beside a legendary fountain,
G C
till I see your form reflected
G C
in it's clear and jeweled waters;
D Dsus2 D
and if you think I'm ready
C
You may lead me to the chasm,
where the rivers of our vision,
D G C G C
flow into one another
G C G C
G C
I will want to die beneath,
G C
the white cascading waters,
G C
she may beg, she may plead,
G C
she may argue with her logic;
D Dsus2 D
and mention all the things I'll lose
C
That really have no value,
in the end she will surely know,
D G
I wasn't born to follow
