Goin’ Back (Goffin – King)
Although I love Dusty’s and the Byrds’ versions, this is my take on Carole’s
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 1
G Dm7/G G
I think I'm goin' back to the things I learned so well in my youth
G Dm7/G G
I think I'm returning to those days when I was young enough to know the truth
Em7 Bm7
Now there are no games to only pass the time
Em7 G
No more electric trains, no more trees to climb
Am7 Am7/D G
But thinking young and growing older is no sin
Am7 Am7/D G
And I can play the game of life to win
Verse 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' back
G Dm7/G
La la la la la la la la la la la
G Dm7/G
La la la la la la la la la
Em7 Bm7
Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide
Em7 G
But every day can be a magic carpet ride
Am7 Am7/D G
A little bit of courage is all we lack
Am7 Am7/D G
So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back
And so on
