Prologue
words and music by Arlo Guthrie

G                    F9
In the event of my demise
                             G
Be sure to include this statement
                                F9
When you are bent on closing my eyes
                            G
Thinking about what my life meant
                          F9
Alone on a hill back in '65
                             G
Things looked a lot like changing
                               F9
Singing our songs that we harmonized
                          G
Dreaming of worlds rearranging

                         C       D G
And I don't know why I'm singing tonight
Em                           D
Maybe it's time someone told you
G                    C      D        G
Just because you say you've seen the light
Em                  D    G
Doesn't mean nobody sold you

G                          F9
I can remember all of your smiles
                    G
During the demonstrations
                                     F9                           
Taking on what seemed like the whole world
                             G
Igniting the hearts of our nations
      C                  D       Em
And together we sang our victory songs
                        Am  D
Though we were worlds apart
G                                F9
Every thing then has now passed away
                              G
Except for the love in my heart

                                F9
Sitting at home on computerized beds
                          G
Trying to come to conclusions
                                     F9
Seeing reflections from rose-colored heads
                           G
Ignoring the states of illusion
                      C   D  G
Drunk in a world of material wealth
Em                       D
No one can notice you falling
G                      C    D        G
Fantastic flights once good for your health
Em                        D  G
Now make you deaf to your calling

C                 D       Em
And all alone the prophet groans
                    Am   D
With words as yet unseen
G                                 F9
Who'll be awake when the master returns
                                 G
Who will be lost in their dreams

                        F9
So in the event of my demise
                             G
Be sure to include this statement
                             F9
Only the words of love kept alive
                          G
Are worthy of not being wasted
