Byrds - Wasn't Born to Follow

      


G                    C                 G                  C           
Oh I'd rather go and journey where the diamond crests are flowing and
G              C          G              C              
Run across the valley beneath the sacred mountains  and
D                        
Wander  thru  the forest
            C                                                         
Where the trees have leaves of prisims and  break the light in colors
     D                G                C   G  C 
That no-one knows the names of                
    G                   C              G           C            
And when it's time I'll go and wait beside a legendary fountain
G               C              G                 C             
Till I see your form reflected in it's clear and jeweled water
    D                      
And if you think I'm ready
        C                                                   
You may lead me to the chasm where the rivers of our vision
     D         G         C    G     C    D 
Flow into one another                    
G              C               G               C      
I will want to die beneath the white cascading waters
        G           C             G              C     
She may beg she may plead she may argue with her logic
     D                            
And mention all the things I lose
     C                                                    
That really have no value in the end she will surely know
  D                 G   
I wasn't born to follow
