Way Over Yonder

Words & Music by:

Carole King

 

A7

 

         D    G  D      D/C#         Bm

Way over yonder -- is a place that I know

                 Em           A7         D    G  D

Where I can find shelter from hunger and cold.

              D/C#    Bm                     Em

And the sweet-tasting good life is so easily found.

Em7      D  G   Bm7       A7        D    G  D   A7

Way over yonder -- that's where I'm bound.

 

I know when I get there, the first thing I'll see

Is the sun shining golden -- shining it right down on me.

Then troubleÕs gonna lose me -- worry leave me behind.

Em7      D     G  Bm7        A7   D     G  D  A7  G  Bm  Em  A7

And I'll stand up proudly in true peace of mind.

 

         D    G  D      D/C#         Bm

Way over yonder -- is a place I have seen

               Em               A7       D        B

In a garden of wisdom from some long ago dream.

 

INSTRUMENTAL OVER:  E   C#m    F#m    B7

 

        E  A  E             C#m

Maybe tomorrow I'll find my way

                      F#m           A           E  A  E

To the land where the honey runs in rivers each day

              E/D#    C#m                    F#m

And the sweet-tasting good life is so easily found

A        E       B            A  C#m  F#m

Way over yonder, that's where I'm bound.

B7       A       B7               E

Way over yonder, that's where I'm bound.
