[Verse 1]
This day is getting older,
in fading light it's beautiful.
This wind is blowing colder,
and too soon I'll feel it's pull.
Still, I took all my chances,
earned myself an even score.
Try to learn my lessons well.
And I don't have the answers,
for those questions anymore.
Only love can be both heaven and hell.
[Chorus]
So sturdy up, sturdy up your heart,
for the road is long ahead.
I'll be with you even though we're apart,
but your road is yours to tread.
And so it goes, and so it goes,
and so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind,
And so it goes... and so it goes, and so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind,
mind, mind.
[Solo]
[Verse 2]
I've grown old on this ocean,
gave her all, my stronger years.
Gave my wife my devotion,
when she died, the ocean my tears.
I've tried to teach you well son,
all of everything I knew.
Of how to live this life be true.
Don't bow your head to no one,
and no matter what you do,
if you start then see it through.
[Chorus]
So sturdy up, sturdy up your heart,
for the road is long ahead.
I'll be with you even though we're apart,
but your road is yours to tread.
And so it goes, and so it goes,
and so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind,
And so it goes... and so it goes, and so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind.

version 2
Gtr I (D A D G B E) - 'Drop D' tuning.
I think this is how it was originally played in the 2003 Studio version where you
can clearly hear the slide from 1st to 10th fret.

version 3
This is the correct full chords and lyrics for La Mar, same chord progression during the
palm mute each chord after playing it. I pick the top E string before playing E Ab and
chords, and the A string before strumming C#m which sounds good, the original recording
some additional finger-picking but this sounds great. Listen to original song for timing.
E: 012200
C#m: 046654
