Carole King – Goin Back chords
Chords:
Goin Back (Goffin King) Although I love Dustys and the Byrds versions, this is my take on Caroles version from the Writer Album (1969). The La La Las were done with James Taylor. The key of G major is as on the record. Acknowledgement to other UG versions for the lyrics. Verse 1G Dm7/G GI think I'm goin' back to the things I learned so well in my youthG Dm7/G GI think I'm returning to those days when I was young enough to know the truthEm7 Bm7Now there are no games to only pass the timeEm7 GNo more electric trains, no more trees to climbAm7 Am7/D GBut thinking young and growing older is no sinAm7 Am7/D GAnd I can play the game of life to winVerse 2 I can recall a time when I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend Now I think I've got a lot more than just my toys to lend Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide But every day can be a magic carpet ride A little bit of courage is all we lack So catch me if you can, I'm goin' backG Dm7/G La la la la la la la la la la laG Dm7/G La la la la la la la la laEm7 Bm7Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glideEm7 GBut every day can be a magic carpet rideAm7 Am7/D GA little bit of courage is all we lackAm7 Am7/D GSo catch me if you can, I'm goin' backAnd so on Harder Chords Dm7/G = G11 (notes G D F A C) Am7/D = D11 (notes D A C E G)
