Em                         A
I never really left. I was never gone.
Em                         A
I never strayed too far from where I was
G                        A
I never noticed it. But now I know
  G              Em            D    Em
I come out for a minute and go back again
  G              Em            D    Em
Come out for a minute and I go back again
  G              Em            D    Em
Come out for a minute and I go back again
  G              Em            D    Em
Come out for a minute and I go back again
 
It goes on.
            (Riff 1)
It goes on.
 
Em                     A (Riff 2)
So strange it seems to want so bad.
Em                     A
To pine for things I never had
G                   A
So far the gate. So far the fence.
  G              Em            D    Em (Riff 3)
I was gone for a minute and go back again
  G              Em            D    Em
Come out for a minute and I go back again
  G              Em            D    Em
Come out for a minute and I go back again
  G              Em            D    Em
Come out for a minute and I go back again
 
It goes on.
         (Riff 1)
It goes on.
 
Em                         A                 (Riff 2)
And the cuckoo sang with his hoot and twang
Em                         A
He come out for a minute he went back again, getting out of the rain
G                   A
And the cuckoo sang, and the cuckoo sang
  G              Em            D    Em   (Riff 3)
Come out for a minute, he went back again
  G              Em            D    Em
Come out for a minute, he went back again
  G              Em            D    Em
Stone cold cuckoo! Hexed and hoodooed. Here!

Em                      A  (Riff 2)
Well, I was once just like you.
Em                      A
Born to roam and ramble too.
   G                   A
So strange it seems to fade to blue
 
        (Riff 3)
