Wasn't Born To Follow

Carol King & Gerry Goffin / the Byrds: The Notorious Byrd Brothers (1968)

G C G C
Oh I'd rather go and journey where the diamond crests are flowing and
G C G C
Run across the valley beneath the sacred mountains
D
and Wander through the forest
C
Where the trees have leaves of prisms and break the light in colors
D G C G C
That no-one knows the names of.
 
G C G C
And when it's time I'll go and wait beside a legendary fountain
G C G C
Till I see your form reflected in it's clear and jeweled water
D
And if you think I'm ready
C
You may lead me to the castles where the rivers of our vision
D G C G C
Flow into one another.

G C G C
I will want to die beneath the white cascading waters
G C G C
She may beg she may plead she may argue with her logic
D
And then she'll know the things I lose
C
That really have no value in the end she will surely know
D G C G C
I wasn't born to follow.
