G Well, I was searchin' by myself D G Singin' old songs, see if they help I took the low way along the sea D G Met an older man and he said to me C 'Sing me a song, son, lay it down' D 'Bring it forth then stand your ground' G It smelled like winter, it all felt fine D G In that dry bone hazy late November time. He said : 'I've known high times, more than once' 'Now I stick strictly to the honky tonks' 'And I've known danger and I've known defeat' 'I've seen whole generations fall to sleep' 'I've danced with angels, I've drank my fill' 'I've talked with God out on the hill' 'And I know my face but I live my name' 'But I go by Charlie Hawker all the same' Chorus: G C G Where are you goin' tonight G C G Where are you goin' so late G C G Your country needs you, boy, don't wait G C Where are you goin' D G Where are you goin' And then he stopped : 'Come here to me' 'So that I can look at you, so that I can see' But then he smiled, he let me know And in that space lies all the things I'll never know And then the sun sank in the West He said : 'Boy, you know you may never be at rest' I turned around to face the light And with a heavy heart I walked into the night Chorus | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsC  D  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
