THE GOLDEN AGE - words and music by Beck
**from the album "Sea Change"
[Intro]
The melody at the beginning and end:
e|---4-7-4-0---0---0------|
B|-----------2------------|
G|---------------2---1----|
D|------------------------|
A|------------------------|
E|------------------------|
[Verse]
Put your hands on the wheel
Let the golden age begin
Let the window down
Feel the moonlight on your skin
Let the desert wind
Cool your aching head
let the weight of the world
Drift away instead
[Chorus]
Oh These days I barely get by
I don t even try
[Verse]
It s a treacherous road
With a desolated view
There s distant lights
But here they re far and few
And the sun don t shine
Even when it s day
You gotta drive all night
Just to feel like you re OK
[Chorus]
Oh These days I barely get by
I don t even try
I don t even try
