Going On
Gnarls Barkley
The Odd Couple
Tabbed by Caren H
I didn’t see any tabs for this song so I decided to stop being lazy and learn it myself.
glad I did because it’s pretty simple. Let me know if I got something wrong.
Standard tuning. Capo in the first fret.
[Intro]
Dm Am C and G
[Verse 1]
Em G
I’ve seen it with my own eyes
D
How we’re gettin’ otherwise
A
Without the luxury of leavin’
Em G
The touch and feeling of free is
D
Untangible technically
A
Something you’ve got to believe in
Em G
Connect the cause and effect
D
One foot in front of the next
A
This is the start of a journey.
Em G
And my mind is already gone
D
And though there are other unknowns
A
Somehow this doesn’t concern me.
G
And you can stand right there if you want
[Hook]
Dm Am
But I’m going on
C G
And I’m prepared to go it alone
Dm Am
I’m going on
C G
To a place in the sun that’s nice and warm
Em
I’m going on
G D A
And I’m sure they’ll have a place for you too oohoohoo
[Verse 2]
Em G D
Anyone that needs what they want, and doesn’t want what they need
A
I want nothing to do with
Em G
And to do what I want
D
And to do what I please
A
Is first of my to-do list
Em G D
But every once in a while I think about her smile
A
One of the few things I do miss
Em G
But baby I‘ve to go
D
Baby I’ve got to know
A
Baby I’ve got to prove it
G
And I’ll see you when you get there
[Hook]
Dm Am
But I’m going on
C G
And I’m prepared to go it alone
Dm Am
I’m going on
C G
May my love lift you up to the place you belong
Em
I’m going on
G D A
And I promise I’ll be waiting for you oohoohoo
(The end goes from Dm Am C and G to Em G C and A over and over again.)
