Where It Begins

Martin Sexton
The American
1998

When I saw Marty in Syracuse on 9-9-98, this was my
favorite new song.  I wasn't as wild about the album
version because it lost all of the acoustic feel, but
I think you guys will like to play it.  Enjoy!

LYRICS:

play INTRO

E                                         A
   Late last night I had a crazy little dream
E                                 A
   Craziest dream that I ever did dream
E                                         A
   All around the world they were holdin' hands
E                                        A
   All the little children the women and the men

CHORUS
Singin' "I don't know where does it end
I don't even know where it begins"


So I followed my angel down to the crazy river
Where I know the water is dirty and dark and it runs so cold
She told me "cast out your will" and then said "cut the line"
With the trust of a child oh I knew it'd be all right

CHORUS
Even though I don't know where does it end
A              B             A      B
I don't even know where it begins
   Cº         C#m   F#          C#m           F#
Oh where it beg  -  ins and I'm never quite sure
      C#m         B9                        E
But I know in the end oh won't you tell me so

GUITAR SOLO
(E)	A
E	A	(repeats)

I need you to tell me so
Mmmm
A
   You're my angel my pretty little angel


She says "love is the land and my dream is the sea
My faith is the mountain so strong and high"
In the palm of her little hand she passed one whole world on to me
And she said "please child please take care of this for me"

CHORUS
You see I I'll never know where does it end
I don't even know and I'll probably never know
I won't know oh no oh no
Oh no I'll never know where it begins

repeat riff until end
Oh no
And I never did oh no
Hmmm

end on E
