[Intro 1]
[G][F][G][F][G][F][Dm][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Jonathan,
where did you go?
You [F]always [Dm]kept our fears in check
Through the sun [F]and snow
[G]Had you gone off before?
And you [F]ripped Van Winkle
when you were [Dm]smaller
As [F]a greenwood t[G]winkle
Not [Eb]one of us, just [F]so much [G]taller
Walk [C]on, [F]walk [G]on
Fur[F]ther on, Big [G]John, [F]West
where the water becomes
[G]your [F]sun.[G]
Our fields are planted once more,
White to [F]spring, snows to green,
[G]and melted again.
And again, we did sing
To the [F]peaks and the humans
[Dm]And the [F]cycles we are given
An[Eb]d the 24 sev[F]ens that we live in[G]
[F]Walk on, walk [G]on
Fur[F]ther on, Big [G]John [F]West
where the water becomes
your [G]sun[F][G]
He came [Gm]while [F]you[C] were
[F]gon[Eb]e in [F]the heat
[Gm]And the summer's heart[F] blew[C]
[F]With [Eb]each trample [F]down of his [G]feet
We [Gm]ran and h[F]id and l[C]ost
[Eb]Without your [F]gentle [Gm]tread
[G]Not being able to [F]pay the cost
[C]We [F]lef[Eb]t our[F]selves
for [Gm]dead[G][Gm]
[F]Walk [C]on, [F]walk on[G]
[F]Further on
Big [G]John [F]West[C],
but [F]don't forget where
you [G]were from[F][G]
[F]You re[G]membered and returned
But [F]found your valley green
and healthy once
Now [G]crushed and burnt, tore up
Not believing what you've seen
[F]You found him complaining
Something about the heat
So he [G]took him to the bubbling pool
[Eb]So he could di[F]p his fe[G]et
[F]So he dip[G]ped those nasty feet
That crushed our [F]dreams
All too hasty in that heated pool
It's the [G]one that now stinks and stinks
[F]Cause it sucked him down
below the bottom
To the earth of the [G]grassy key
And [Eb]all along it was y[F]ou that [G]knew
So [C]sleep, [F]now [G]sleep
Big old [C]giant [F]to the stick[G]s
[C]Way [F]over yon[G]der
[F]Route counted [G]46
[F]Hey! Hey! [G]Hey! [F]Hey[F]! Hey!
