Lyrics

There’s a man talk ing (D7)on the ra di o.

What he’s say ing I don’t real ly know.

Seems he’s lost some (D7)stocks and shares, stops and stares.

(C)He’s a fraid I know.

(D7)That’s the way it goes.

There’s a man talk ing (D7)of the prom ised land.

He’ll ac quire it with some krug err and.

Sub di vide and (D7)deal it out, feel his clout.

(C)He can stoop so low.

(D7)That’s the way it goes.

There’s an ac tor who (D7)hopes to fit the bill, sees a shin ing cit y on a hill.

Step up close and (D7)see he’s blind, wined and dined.

(C)All he has is posed.

And (D7)that’s the way it goes.

There’s a fire that (D7)burns a way the lies man i fest ing in the spir i tual eye.

Though you won’t un der (D7)stand the way I feel.

You con ceal (C)all there is to know.

(D7)That’s the way it goes.

(D7)That’s the way it goes.

(D7)That’s the way it goes.

That’s the way it goes.

That’s the way it goes.

That’s the way it goes.
