This is the end
C         D
Beautiful friend
 
This is the end
C        D
 My only friend, the end
   C    G        D
Of our elaborate plans, the end
   C    G          D
Of everything that stands, the end
   C      G     D
No safety or surprise, the end
     C     G               D
I’ll never look into your  eyes...again
 
        C                 D
Can you picture what will be
   G7            D
So limitless and free
C              D                G         D
Desperately in need...of some...strangers hand
       C         D
In a...desperate land
 
D                   C             D
Lost in a romance...wilderness of pain
            C              D
And all the children are insane
                 C     D
All the children are insane
                C            D
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah
 
        D
There’s danger on the edge of town
 
Ride the kings highway, baby
 
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
 
Ride the highway west, baby
 
 
Ride the snake, ride the snake
 
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
 
The snake is long, seven miles
 
Ride the snake...he’s old, and his skin is cold
 
    D
The west is the best
 
The west is the best
 
Get here, and we’ll do the rest
 
D        C              D
The blue bus is calling us
D        C              D
The blue bus is calling us
D                    C     D
Driver, where you’ve taken us
 
 
(spoken) D
 
The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door...and he looked inside
Father, yes son, I want to kill you
Mother...I want to...fuck you
 
D
C’mon baby, take a chance with us
 
C’mon baby, take a chance with us
 
C’mon baby, take a chance with us
                               C    D
And meet me at the back of the blue bus
        C    D
Doing a blue rock
     C    D
On a blue bus
        C    D
Doing a blue rock
C      D
C’mon, yeah
 
 
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill
 
D
This is the end
C          D
 Beautiful friend
 
This is the end
C        D
 My only friend, the end
   C        G       D
It hurts to set you free
                 C      D
But you’ll never follow me
           C            D
The end of laughter and soft lies
           C         G        D
The end of nights we tried to die
C    G      D
This is the end

High on bottles of whiskey and handfuls of acid did not prevent the self destructive Morrison from producing some amazing and insightful poetry...the question still remains....what is “the end”.....
