[Verse 1]
       G                A/B
So the sun shines on this fun'ral
         G                A/B
Just the same as on a birth
    G                A       F#m7
The way it shines on everything
       Bm7    Em7        A  D/A A
That happens here on Earth
 
   G                A/B
It rolls across the Western sky
    G             A/B
And back into the sea
     Bm7         Em7        A
And spends the day's last rays
   F#m7    G        A7sus
Upon this fucked-up family
 
D F#m7 G Em7  A    D/A A
   So  long old pal
 
 
[Verse 2]
    G             A/B
The last time I saw Alice
         G             A/B
She was leaving Santa Fe
        G                 A/B      F#m7
With a bunch of round-eyed Buddhists
     Bm7     Em7    A   D/A A
In a killer Chevrolet
 
          G                A/B
Said they turned her out of Texas
          G                     A/B
Yeah she burned them down back home
              Bm7    Em7  A     F#m7
Now she's wild with expectation
       G      A7sus      D
On the edge of the unknown
 
 
[Chorus]
         Bm7      Em7           F#m7      Bm7  A/B Bm7
Singing oh, it's enough to be on your way
           Em7    F#m7     G
It's enough to cover ground
          Em7        Em7/A    Dmaj9
It's enough to be moving on
 
    Bm7   Em7     F#m7          Bm7  A/B Bm7
Home,  build it behind your eyes
  Em7      F#m7       G
Carry it in your heart
Em7  F#m7          Bm  Em7  A7
Safe among your own
 
       G                A/B
They brought her back on a Friday night
    G             A/B
Same day I was born
     G                A       F#m7
We sent her up the smokestack
      Bm7    Em7        A  D/A A
Yes and back into the storm
 
       G                A/B
She blew up over the San Juan Mountains
     G                A/B
She spent herself at last
       Bm7    Em7  A     F#m7
The threat of heavy weather
           G      A7sus      D
That was what she knew the best
 
 
[Chorus]
 Bm7      Em7           F#m7      Bm7  A/B Bm7
Oh, it's enough to be on your way
           Em7    F#m7     G
It's enough to cover ground
          Em7        Em7/A    Dmaj9
It's enough to be moving on
          Bm7   Em7     F#m7          Bm7  A/B Bm7
Home, better build it behind your eyes
   Em7      F#m7       G
Carry it in your heart
Em7  F#m7          Bm
Safe among your own

[Verse 3]
   G             A/B
It woke me up on a Sunday
           G             A/B
An hour before the sun
    G                 A/B      F#m7
It had me watching them headlights
 Bm7     Em7    A   D/A A
Out on Highway 591
 
        G                A/B
Till I stepped into my trousers
        G                 A/B
Till I pulled my big boots on
   Bm7       Em7    A     F#m7
I walked out on the Mesa
        G      A7sus      D
And I stumbled on this song
 
 
[Chorus]
 C#m7         F#m7     G#m7      C#m7 B/C  C#m7
Oh, it's enough to be on your way
         F#m7     G#m7      A
It's enough to cover ground
          F#m7        A/B    Emaj9
It's enough to be moving on
 
C#m7          F#m7    G#m7         C#m7
Home, boy, build it behind your eyes
  F#m7     G#m7        A
Carry it in your heart
F#m7     G#m7         C#m7
Safe among your own
 
G#m7  A      F#m7    B
       So long, old gal
