Going On Chords

Going On
Gnarls Barkley
The Odd Couple
Tabbed by Caren H
 
I didn’t see any tabs for this song so I decided to stop being lazy and learn it myself.
glad I did because it’s pretty simple. Let me know if I got something wrong.
 
Standard tuning. Capo in the first fret.
 
 
[Intro]
 
Dm Am C and G
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Em                         G
 I’ve seen it with my own eyes
                     D
How we’re gettin’ otherwise
                        A
Without the luxury of leavin’
Em                            G
 The touch and feeling of free is
                    D
Untangible technically
                         A
Something you’ve got to believe in
Em                           G
  Connect the cause and effect
                          D
One foot in front of the next
                        A
This is the start of a journey.
Em                       G
 And my mind is already gone
                             D
And though there are other unknowns
                       A
Somehow this doesn’t concern me.
            G
And you can stand right there if you want
 
 
[Hook]
 
              Dm      Am
But I’m going on
            C               G
And I’m prepared to go it alone
          Dm      Am
I’m going on
                  C                    G
To a place in the sun that’s nice and warm
          Em
I’m going on
        G                   D                A
And I’m sure they’ll have a place for you too oohoohoo
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Em                            G                               D
 Anyone that needs what they want, and doesn’t want what they need
                   A
I want nothing to do with
Em                 G
 And to do what I want
                   D
And to do what I please
                  A
Is first of my to-do list
Em                    G                       D
 But every once in a while I think about her smile
                         A
One of the few things I do miss
Em                 G
 But baby I‘ve to go
                  D
Baby I’ve got to know
                   A
Baby I’ve got to prove it
G
And I’ll see you when you get there
 
 
[Hook 2]
 
              Dm      Am
But I’m going on
            C               G
And I’m prepared to go it alone
          Dm      Am
I’m going on
                     C                      G
May my love lift you up to the place you belong
          Em
I’m going on
      G                D             A
And I promise I’ll be waiting for you oohoohoo
 
(The end goes from Dm Am C and G to Em G C and A over and over again.)
