[C-G-Dmin-G] Intro: play 3 times (1 harmonica + 2 guitar)

Well [C] everybody here, [G] seems to like to laugh

[F] But me I know [G] exactly what I'm going to [Am] find
[C-G-A min] [D min] Little girl [E min] I'm goin' to see
[Am] She is a fool for [C] lovin' me

Yes it is (on second chorus)
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/f/forbert_steve/going_down_to_laurel_crd.html ]
Well [C] what was that you said [G] when you had a tear
[D min]Rolling down your cheek the [G] other night
[C] I couldn't catch it all [G] there's something going wrong

[D min]They tell me this great life can always [G] end

CHORUS
harmonica theme again: [C-G-D min-G]

I'm [C] smilin' from a car, I'm [G] goin' for a drive
[D min]Feel the whistle blowin' breeze gone [G]flying by
[C] Mirror's on the moon, [G] echo in the sun
[D min] See just a touch of madness [G]in my eye

[C]Please don't mention rain, [G] please don't talk of trains
[D min]Please don't mention buildings burning [G]down
[C]Everybody here seems [G] to like to laugh
[D min] Either step in time or just don't hang [G] around

CHORUS
