D    A6/C#     Bm
take me to the lake side
Em                A
place me among the trees that hide
D                  G
from the dust and from the old
C        F#    Bm
by the river and by the oak

D    A6/C#     Bm
will there be a bowl of soap
Em                    A
like the songs we were told
D             G
will there be a boat
C        F#        Bm
that will take me to the other side


[Pre-Chorus]
              D        A    Bm
because I'm on my way to somewhere
      D        A    Bm
I'm on my way to something
      D        A          G
but I'll meet you when you get there


[Chorus]
                     Em    D A D A 
I wish could stay my friend
G                    Em    D A D A 
I wish could stay my friend
G                    Em    D A D A 
I wish could stay my friend
G                    Em    D A D A 
I wish could stay my friend
G                  Em    D A D A  G
I wish could stay


[Verse 2]
D    A6/C#     Bm
sunday call and after all
Em                A
a prayer would only make me blush
D                  G
but thanks for letting us
C        F#        Bm    A6/C#    D   D#dim7
who do I thank for another day?
D                 A
a prayer would only make me blush
D                  G
but thanks for letting us
C        F#        Bm
who do I thank for another day?


[Pre-Chorus]
       D        A    Bm
because I'm on my way to somewhere
      D        A    Bm
I'm on my way to something
      D        A           G
but I'll meet you when you get there


[Chorus]
                     Em    D A D A 
I wish could stay my friend
G                    Em    D A D A 
I wish could stay my friend
G                    Em    D A D A 
I wish could stay my friend
G                    Em    D A D A 
I wish could stay my friend
G                  Em    D A D A
I wish could stay
G                  Em    D A D A  G
I wish could stay
