When I got ^G something to ^A say ^D
Don't I ^Bm always let you ^G know
So that ^Bm you and I can ^G go my way
^Em Forev – ^D –ver
And if I get ^G carried ^A away ^D
I could ^Bm sailing on a ^G song
And ^Bm maybe we could ^G carry on
^Em Forev – ^D – ver
But ^G lately ^A this old dog ^D
Has been cha – ^Bm - sing his tail ^G
G Round and ^A round and round ^D
And the ^G circles ^A in my ^D mind
They have been ^Bm winding ^D slowly ^G Down ^D
G Everybody's bree - ^Bm – zing up,
But I'm ^D seizing up
I'm ^Bm freezing up
And I'm ^G fading, ^Em fading a – ^D – way.
Well, I got a ^G on a ^A night in June ^D
I got ^Bm room for you and ^G me
I got ^Bm moonlight up in the ^G trees
I got ^Em sixty-eight de – ^D – grees
I got ^G nothing on ^A my mind ^D
But I got ^Bm loving in my ^G heart
And I got ^Bm something out in the ^G garden
I want to ^Em show ^D
G Well, it ^A doesn't really ^D matter after – ^Bm – all ^G
If we ^G quit this ^A round – ^D – about
‘Cause ^G no one will ^A really no – ^D – tice
If we just ^Bm sit this ^D next one out ^{G D}
Well, you can ^G strike up the ^Bm band with – ^D – out me
You may ^Bm have your doubts ^G about me
But I'm just ^Em fading a – ^D – way
You can ^Bm hardly even ^G see me
‘Cause I'm ^Em fading away. ^D

Well, it's ^A hard to ^B find a la – ^E bel,
For this ^Cm feeling in my ^E bones.
If this is ^A all a ^B make be – ^E – lieve,
But my ^Cm cards are ^E on the ^A table
And there ain't ^Cm nothing up ^E my ^A sleeve ^E .
^A And here I thought I was a ^Cm thinking man
But I'm a ^E shrinking man
I'm ^Cm sinking man
And I'm ^Bm fading, I'm ^E fading away
Well, it's ^Cm really not so ^E bad to be ^Bm fading a – ^E – way
^Cm C'mon along with ^E me and we'll go ^Bm fading away
You can ^Cm hardly even ^E hear me
‘Cause I'm ^Bm fading ^E away
