SO IT GOES (Kim Richey)
-----------------------
[Actually in D; capo 7.]
[Each chord is two beats (half of a measure), except "D [stop]" is a whole
   measure, and pairs of chords joined by hyphens are a whole measure total.]

Notes on chord fingerings:
G: 320033.  C: 332010.  D: xx0232.  A7: x02020.  G6/B: x20030.
Em7: 022000 -> 022030 (it looks like Kim does a hammer-on from 0 to 3).
C(9): in the intro, Kim plays 332030; in the verse, it's x32030.  (The two
   voicings have slightly different hand positions.)  In the chorus, there's
   also a quick C(9) that's just 330010 (a C with the middle finger lifted).
(F#): not really a chord, it's just a single note: hit the low E string
   at the 2nd fret and bend it a little bit before the Em (Em7) chord.

     [intro]

Em7           C(9)    D           G  -  G/F#
  Some learn early and some learn hard
Em7         C(9)            D        G  -  G/F#
  Somebody called me in from my backyard
Em7                 C(9)   D                G  -  G/F#
  And I heard the whispers, something was wrong
Em7     C(9)           D    D
  And I knew you were gone

   C             C(9) - C  D              D
But the sun came up    and  the sun went down
C             C(9) - C     D            Em  -  D
  The spring lies waiting   beneath the frozen ground
Am          Em             D [stop]
  And I'll be seeing you around
(F#)  Em7  C(9)  D  D      Em7  C(9)  D  D
So it goes,          so it goes

And I made some good friends, and I made mistakes
I lost my religion, and I found my faith
And I tried to walk down every path I chose
So it goes

And the sun comes up and the sun goes down
The spring lies waiting beneath the frozen ground
And I'll be seeing you around
So it goes, so it goes

A7             A7         C(9)       G6/B            C(9)
  Seems like a small offering in the grand scheme of things
       G6/B                  C(9)            G6/B
But it gets me through, yeah, the thought of losing...
Em7  C(9)  G   D           Em7    C(9)   D   D
  you________, la la la la, laaaaa

And the sun comes up and the sun goes down
The spring lies waiting beneath the frozen ground
And I'll be seeing you around
So it goes, so it goes

[outro with la la la's]
