Where do you go -- David Cousins         Recorded by The Strawbs
===============


     A        E         D       E
When you were young you were protected
     A         E       D        E
When you were growing you were sheltered
     A        E            D     E
But when you reached your adult years
NC              A
You were left alone
            D      E    A
And you had no-one to rely on
D      E       A
No one to care for you
  D                                    E            E7
A lost soul in search of some kind of shelter and protection

CHORUS:
        D    E      A
  Now where do you run
    D    E      A
  Where do you hide
            D              E
  When you need a hole to crawl in
    D   E      A
  Where do you go?

I found that in our darkest hour
The young ones that I knew and loved well
Beckoned with the memory
Of their alluring spell
And so I gathered up my senses
Bade one and all godspeed
If my ways were what you desired then love is what you must need

(Chorus)

I tried to find a consolation
But realized that deep down inside
Consolation is but yet
My all despairing pride
And now I'm dark eyed and bewildered
My guts can feel the strain
My mouth is dry, my chest is tight, and my forehead's lined with the pain

(Chorus)
