This is such a sweet song, and I couldn't find a tab for it anywhere, so I hope
this helps anyone else who has been searching in vain for it.
The song is really easy, it's mostly just A,D and E bar chords. The tricky thing
is the strumming pattern.
A D D E D E D A
D U D U U D U U D U U D U
1-+-2-+-3-+-4-+-1-+-2-+-3-+-4-+-1
(Hope that helps. Play downstrokes of the chords on the 'D' symbol and upstrokes
on the U symbol, the numbers are each beat and the plus symbols are each half beat)
A D
Goin' back to the place
D E D E D
Where it all started from
A D D E D E D
Gonna see my old friends try and have a little fun
A D E D E D
Wouldn't that be nice,
A D E D E D
Wouldn't that be nice
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/devendra_banhart/goin_back_crd.html ]
Goin' back to the way that it once used to be
Have a couple drinks and wander aimlessly
Just like old times
Yeah just like old times
(next verse same chords but strumming pattern changes to simple Down Up Down)
And maybe see the changes in me
Remember where I've been and never go back again
Maybe see the changes in me
Make no mistake
There's plenty of those to make
Am Gm Dm
Never never never goin' back
Am Gm Dm
Never ever ever goin' back
(Back to normal pattern)
Goin' back to the place where my lover and I met
I can give her all I got
She can ring my little neck just like old times
Just like old times
Goin' back to the time when I didn't need a thing
Just the tappin' of my foot and a little song to sing
That'll do just fine
Yeah that'll do just fine
(different pattern again)
And maybe meet a little lady
Tell me where I go, tell me where I come
Take me anytime you like hon'
Take me as I am or as who I might become
Never ever ever goin' back
Never ever ever goin' back
(normal pattern for the outro)
Goin' back, goin' back, goin' back
Goin' back, goin' back, goin' back
Goin' back, goin' back, goin' back...
Yeeeeeahhhh. My first tab. I'll figure out the little licks throughout, and maybe
even the cello part and post em up too.
