Verse 

E       A                          E 
Seen it written and I've heard it told 
        A                   E 
That a man does things for gold 
             A                     E 
Drives him crazy and it makes him old 
             B 
Before his time 
              C#m                E 
Sittin' 'round waitin' for the rainbow's end 
         A                E 
Wastin' time and loosin' friends 
       G#m             C#m  A          B 
Never knowin' that it ends before his eyes 
      A      E 
But those of us who seek the truth 
         B               E 
Will be there when she rides

And live it like he feels
