Going On
Gnarls Barkley
The Odd Couple
Tabbed by Caren H
I didn’t see any tabs for this song so I decided to stop being lazy and learn it myself.
glad I did because it’s pretty simple. Let me know if I got something wrong.
Standard tuning. Capo in the first fret.
Intro
[Dm] [Am] [C] and [G]
Verse 1
[Em] [G]
I’ve seen it with my own eyes
[D]
How we’re gettin’ otherwise
[A]
Without the luxury of leavin’
[Em] [G]
The touch and feeling of free is
[D]
Untangible technically
[A]
Something you’ve got to believe in
[Em] [G]
Connect the cause and effect
[D]
One foot in front of the next
[A]
This is the start of a journey.
[Em] [G]
And my mind is already gone
[D]
And though there are other unknowns
[A]
Somehow this doesn’t concern me.
[G]
And you can stand right there if you want
Hook
[Dm] [Am]
But I’m going on
[C] [G]
And I’m prepared to go it alone
[Dm] [Am]
I’m going on
[C] [G]
To a place in the sun that’s nice and warm
[Em]
I’m going on
[G] [D] [A]
And I’m sure they’ll have a place for you too oohoohoo
Verse 2
[Em] [G] [D]
Anyone that needs what they want, and doesn’t want what they need
[A]
I want nothing to do with
[Em] [G]
And to do what I want
[D]
And to do what I please
[A]
Is first of my to-do list
[Em] [G] [D]
But every once in a while I think about her smile
[A]
One of the few things I do miss
[Em] [G]
But baby I‘ve to go
[D]
Baby I’ve got to know
[A]
Baby I’ve got to prove it
[G]
And I’ll see you when you get there
Hook 2
[Dm] [Am]
But I’m going on
[C] [G]
And I’m prepared to go it alone
[Dm] [Am]
I’m going on
[C] [G]
May my love lift you up to the place you belong
[Em]
I’m going on
[G] [D] [A]
And I promise I’ll be waiting for you oohoohoo
(The end goes from Dm Am C and G to Em G C and A over and over again.)
