Van Morrison - Take Me Back: chords

G                         C
I've been walking by the river
I've been walking down by the water
I've been walking down by the river
I've been feeling so sad and blue
I've been thinking, I've been thinking
I've been thinking, I've been thinking
I've been thinking, I've been thinking
Ah, there's so much suffering
And it's too much confusion
Too much, too much confusion in the world

Take me back, take me back, take me back
Take me way back, take me way back, take me way back
Take me way back, take me way back, take me way back
Take me way back, take me way back (Ah)
Take me way, way, way, way, way, way, way back (Ha)
Help me un— help me understand
Take me, do you remember the time darlin'
When everything made more sense in the world? (Yeah)
Oh, I remember, I remember when life
made more sense
Ah, ah, take me back, take me back,
take me back, take me back
Take me back, take me back, take me back,
take me back
Take me back, woah, to when the world made
more sense
Well, there's too much suffering and confusion
And I'm walking down by the river
Oh, let me understand religion

Way, way back, way back
When you walked in a green field, in a green meadow
Down an avenue of trees
On a, on a golden summer
And the sky was blue
And you didn't have no worries
You didn't have no care
You were walking in a green field, in a meadow
Through the buttercups, in the summertime
And you looked way out over, way out
Way out over the city and the water
And it feels so good, and it feels so good
And you keep on walking
And the music on the radio, and the music
on the radio
Baby, has so much soul, has so much soul
And you listen in the night time
When it was still and quiet
And you looked out on the water and the big ships
And the big boats came on sailing by, by, by, by
You felt so good, and I felt so good
I felt I wanna blow my harmonica

Take me back there, take me way back
Take me back, take me back, take me back
Take me way, way, way back, way back
To when, when I understood
When I understood the light
When I understood the light
In the golden afternoon, in the golden afternoon
In the golden afternoon, in the golden afternoon
In the golden afternoons when we
sat and listened to Sonny Boy blow
In the golden afternoon
When we sat and let Sonny Boy blow, blow his harp
Take me back, take me back, take me back
Take me way, way, way, way, way, way, way back
To when I, when I understood
When I understood, yeah
Oh, ah, take me way back to when, when,
when, when, when, when
When, when, when, when, when, when
When I was walking down the, walking down the street
And, it didn't matter
'Cause everything felt, everything felt,
everything felt
Everything felt, everything felt, everything felt
Everything felt, everything felt, everything felt
Everything felt so right (Ha) and so good
Everything felt so right and so good
Everything felt so right and so good
Everything felt so right and so good, ah
Everything felt so right and so good
Everything felt so right and so good, so good

In the eternal now
In the eternal moment
In the eternal now
In the eternal moment
In the eternal now
Everything felt so good, so good, so good,
so good, so good
And so right, so right, so right, just
So good, and so right, and so right,
in the eternal
In the eternal moment
In the eternal moment
In the eternal moment
In the eternal moment
When you lived, when you lived
When you lived in the light
When you lived in the grace
In the grace, in grace
When you lived in the light
In the light, in the grace
And the blessing
