The End of the Innocence chords
Don Henley

Capo I

G D C G D G C G D 2x

G               I remember when the days were long,
    C and rolled beneath a deep blue sky
GDidn't have a care in the world,
     C               D  with mommy and daddy standing by
    GBut happily ever after fails,
               Cand we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
    GThe lawyers dwell on small details,
      Em    C      D since daddy had to fly

        Em       Bm          Am Ah, but I know a place where we can go,
Em           Cmaj7        Dthat's still untouched by man
Em            Bm        AmWe'll sit and watch the clouds go by,
        Em         Cmaj7       D                   and the tall grass wave in the wind
        G        D         CYou can lay your head back on the ground,
    Em       Bm        Am  and let your hair fall all around me
G     D       C Offer up your best defense,
    Em          Bm  Am   Cmaj7       Dbut this is the end,     this is the end
       G             of the innocence

G D C G D G C G D 

GOh beautiful for spacious skies,
    Cbut now those skies are threatening
        GThey're beating plowshares into swords,
         C                      Dfor this tired old man that we elected king
GArmchair warriors often fail,
               Cand we've been poisoned by these fairytales
    GThe lawyers clean up all details,
      Em    C      Dsince daddy had to lie

        Em       Bm          Am Ah, but I know a place where we can go,
Em           Cmaj7        Dthat's still untouched by man
Em            Bm        AmWe'll sit and watch the clouds go by,
        Em         Cmaj7       D                   and the tall grass wave in the wind
        G        D         CYou can lay your head back on the ground,
    Em       Bm        Am  and let your hair fall all around me
G     D       C Offer up your best defense,
    Em          Bm  Am   Cmaj7       Dbut this is the end,     this is the end
       G             of the innocence

GWho knows how long this will last,
   Cor how we've come so far so fast
    GBut somewhere back there in the dust,
     C                  Dthat same small town in each of us
GI need to remember this, 
   Cso baby give me just one kiss
    GAnd let me take a long last look,
  Em      C       Dbefore we say goodbye

     G        D         CJust lay your head back on the ground,
    Em       Bm        Am  and let your hair fall all around me
G     D       C Offer up your best defense,
    Em          Bm  Am   Cmaj7       Dbut this is the end,     this is the end,
       G             of the innocence
