Fading Away

When I got [G] something to [A] say [D]
Don’t I [Bm] always let you [G] know
So that [Bm] you and I can [G] go my way
[Em] Forev – [D] –ver

And if I get [G] carried [A] away [D]
I could [Bm] sailing on a [G] song
And [Bm] maybe we could [G] carry on
[Em] Forev – [D] – ver

But [G] lately [A] this old dog [D]
Has been cha – [Bm] - sing his tail [G]
[G] Round and [A] round and round [D]
And the [G] circles [A] in my [D] mind
They have been [Bm] winding [D] slowly [G] Down [D]
[G] Everybody’s bree -  [Bm] – zing up,
But I’m [D] seizing up
I’m [Bm] freezing up
And I’m [G] fading, [Em] fading a – [D] – way.

Well, I got a [G] on a [A] night in June [D]
I got [Bm] room for you and [G] me
I got [Bm] moonlight up in the [G] trees
I got [Em] sixty-eight de –  [D] – grees

I got [G] nothing on [A] my mind [D]
But I got [Bm] loving in my [G] heart
And I got [Bm] something out in the [G] garden
I want to [Em] show [D]

[G] Well, it [A]doesn’t really [D] matter after – [Bm] – all [G]
If we [G] quit this [A] round – [D] – about
‘Cause [G] no one will [A] really no – [D] – tice
If we just [Bm] sit this [D] next one out [G] [D]
Well, you can [G] strike up the [Bm] band with – [D] – out me
You may [Bm] have your doubts [G] about me
But I’m just [Em] fading a – [D] – way
You can [Bm] hardly even [G] see me
‘Cause I’m [Em] fading away. [D]

Well, it’s [A] hard to [B] find a la – [E] bel,
For this [Cm] feeling in my [E] bones.
If this is [A] all a [B] make be – [E] – lieve,
But my [Cm] cards are [E] on the [A]table
And there ain’t [Cm]nothing up [E]my [A]sleeve [E].
[A]And here I thought I was a[Cm] thinking man
But I’m a [E]shrinking man
I’m [Cm]sinking man
And I’m [Bm]fading, I’m [E]fading away
Well, it’s [Cm] really not so [E] bad to be [Bm] fading a – [E] – way
[Cm] C’mon along with [E] me and we’ll go [Bm] fading away
You can [Cm] hardly even [E] hear me
‘Cause I’m [Bm] fading [E] away
