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 Harder Chords Dm7/G = G11 (notes G D F A C) Am7/D = D11 (notes D A C E G)
