The sun is slowly fading in the western sky
G C G C
Sometimes it takes forever the day to end
Am
Sometimes it takes a lifetime
C G C G C
Sometimes I think I'll never see the sun again
G C G C
There's a heavy smog between me and my mountains
G C G C
It's enough to make a grown man sit and cry
Am
It's enough to make you wonder
C G C G C
It's enough to make the world roll up and die
Am C D G
I think it's kind of interesting the way things get to be
Em C G

Serenity's a long time coming to me
Em A7 D D7
In fact I don't believe that I know what it means
G C G C
In the east a shaded moon is hanging lazily
G C G C
I do believe I saw the old man smile
Am
I do believe I did
C G C G C
I do believe he's been laughing all the while
Am C D G
I think it's kind of interesting the way things get to be
Em C G
The way the people work with their machines
Am C D G
Serenity's a long time coming to me
Em A7 D
In fact I don't believe that I know what it means
