Song: "We're Gonna Love It While It Lasts"
Album: "Cotton Patch Gospel" musical soundtrack
Artist: Music and lyrics by Harry Chapin
INTRO: | G C | G D | G C | G D |
G C G D
It's been a long, long time waiting you know
G C G D
And a long, long road we had to go
Em C D
While time flowed slow and fast
Em C D
World kept going past
G F C D | G C | G D |
But I know I'm gonna love it while it lasts
G C G D
It's been an old, old dream we've been dreaming each night
G C G D
Hoping someday we'd see the light
Em C D
Tried to imagine the sight
Em C D
Praying we were doing it right
G F C D | G C | G D |
And then the day came up and now that dream shines bright
G F C D G
CHORUS: We're gonna love it while it lasts
F C D
(We're gonna love it while it lasts)
G F C D | G C | G D | G C | G D |
We're gonna love it while it lasts
G C G D
All the desperate days that we left behind
G C G D
All the detours we took that we had to find
Em C D
When fate had been unkind
Em C D
We had to bide our time
G F C D | G C | G D |
But it was worth the wait, it don't matter, we feel fine
CHORUS x2, then:
G F C D | G C | G D | G |
We're gonna love it while it lasts
