So It Goes
Nick Lowe and Rockpile
[Intro]
D A E
D A E A
D C#m Bm A
I remember the night the kid cut off his right arm
In a fit to save a bit of power
He got fifty thousand watts
In a big acoustic tower
Security's so tight tonight
Woh they're ready for a tussle
You better keep your backstage passes
'Cause the promoter had the muscle
[Chorus]
D C#m Bm A
And so it goes and so it goes
And so it goes and so it goes
But where it’s going, no one knows
And so it goes and so it goes
And so it goes and so it goes
But where it's goin' no one knows
D A E
D A E A
D C#m Bm A
In the tall building
sit the head of all nations
Worthy men from Spain and Siam
Al1 day discussions with the Russians
But they still went ahead
and vetoed the plan
Now up jumped the U.S. representative
He's the one with the tired eyes
747 put him in that condition
Flyin' back from a peace keepin' mission
(Chorus)
D A E
D A E A
E D#m C#m B
And in the air there is aftershave lotion
in the wake of a stinking Persian
On his arm there's a skin tight vision
Wonder why she ain’t mine and she’s his and……
(Chorus)

After the second chorus, you don't repeat the D-A-E sequence again. The key has changed and the pattern is different anyway. Here's how I hear it:
E-B-F#-B
E-B-F#-B
E-B-F#-B
E (triplet feel) B
1+ 2+ 3+ 4+ 1+ 2+ 3+ 4+
Then you go into the E - D#m - C#m - B of the last verse.

On the last line of each chorus (But where it’s going, no one knows) he plays the following sequence: D-C#m-Bm11-A.
So after the key change plays: E-D#m-C#m11-B.
