Intro: 2 beats per chord, let ring: F, Am7, Dm, Bb, C, F, F
Verses:
Folks I know are acting strange F, Am7
Shaking heads, saying I've changed Dm
But I see that they're deranged Bb
Losing what they thought they gained C-Bb, C
Want to reap what they don't sow F
Claiming what they do not own Am7
Give them love, they still won't grow Bb
So they'll never take my throne Bb, C
And I, iei... oh, I... I I I, F, Am7, Bb, Bb-C,
I'm moving on, moving on... moving on F
I, iei..., I... oh, I, I'm moving on. F, Am7, Bb, Bb-C, F
Moving over wings of hate F
Crossing storms of jealousy Am7
Soon they all will dissipate Bb
Leave me with my dignity Bb-C
Many rivers we must cross F
In the end everything must pass Am7
Give them my love like a flood Bb
But they only want my blood Bb-C
So I, iei... I, oh I F, Am7, Bb, Bb-C
I'm moving on, moving on F
I, iei..., oh I, I I I, I'm moving on. F, Am7, Bb, Bb-C, F
Bridge:
Moving on to higher heights C
Leaving them to fuss and fight C
Leave them in the blinding light Bb
'Cause it seems they've lost their sight Bb
Going where the air is clean C
Fulfilling a higher dream C
Everything has got the time Dm
You've got yours and I've got mine Bb
And I see the sun still shine Bb
And I know the world is mine, mine, mine C
I, iei, oh I, I I I F, Am7, Bb, Bb-C
I'm moving on, moving on, moving on F
I, iei, oh I, I I I, I'm moving on F, Am7, Bb, Bb-C, F
Hey, bye bye bye, bye bye bye bye F
Bye bye bye, bye bye bye bye Am7
Bye bye bye, bye bye bye bye Bb
Bye bye bye, bye bye bye bye Bb-C
Bye bye bye, bye bye bye bye F
I..., I'm moving moving moving moving on to life Am7, Bb, Bb-C, F
Hey... End F
