2 beats per chord, let ring: , , , , , ,
Folks I know are acting strange ,
Shaking heads, saying I've changed
But I see that they're deranged
Losing what they thought they gained -,
Want to reap what they don't sow
Claiming what they do not own
Give them love, they still won't grow
So they'll never take my throne ,
And I, iei... oh, I... I I I, , , , -,
I'm moving on, moving on... moving on
I, iei..., I... oh, I, I'm moving on. , , , -,
Moving over wings of hate
Crossing storms of jealousy
Soon they all will dissipate
Leave me with my dignity -
Many rivers we must cross
In the end everything must pass
Give them my love like a flood
But they only want my blood -
So I, iei... I, oh I , , , -
I'm moving on, moving on
I, iei..., oh I, I I I, I'm moving on. , , , -,
Moving on to higher heights
Leaving them to fuss and fight
Leave them in the blinding light
'Cause it seems they've lost their sight
Going where the air is clean
Fulfilling a higher dream
Everything has got the time
You've got yours and I've got mine
And I see the sun still shine
And I know the world is mine, mine, mine
I, iei, oh I, I I I , , , -
I'm moving on, moving on, moving on
I, iei, oh I, I I I, I'm moving on , , , -,
Hey, bye bye bye, bye bye bye bye
Bye bye bye, bye bye bye bye
Bye bye bye, bye bye bye bye
Bye bye bye, bye bye bye bye -
Bye bye bye, bye bye bye bye
I..., I'm moving moving moving moving on to life , , -,
Hey... End
