Moving On Forward

by @analogj

Liner Notes

I've been writing a few songs about moving forward to stay emotionally alive. It's like the Woody Allen line in Annie Hall about his relationship with Annie that, like a shark, a relationship needs to forward or it will die. I feel like that if I don't keep moving forward, something will figuratively die inside.

Lyrics

And for those who might want to follow along. Note that the verse might sound like the song is in the key of C major, when it's actually in G major.

C G D G D C

C G D
I just got up today
G D C
My body started to sashay
G D
With a song I could sing right out
G D C
And things that I could tryout

G D
I'm moving on forward
C G D
I've got something new to brew
G D
A bit of this and that
C G D
And a quite a bit of ballyhoo
G D
Even though it may rain
C G D
Something great'll come shining through
G D
But don't worry baby
C D G
I'll be coming on back to you

C G D
Some chords ran through my mind
G D C
But no words came up in kind
G D
I'm rummaging through my head
G D C
I came up with these instead

G D
I'm moving on forward
C G D
I've got something new to brew
G D
A bit of this and that
C G D
And a quite a bit of ballyhoo
G D
Even though it may rain
C G D
Something great'll come shining through
G D
But don't worry baby
C D G
I'll be coming on back to you
G D
But don't worry baby
C D G
I'll be coming on back to you

C G D
Now if should I go astray
G D C
And wander far away
C G D
I know I can count on you
G D C
If I bite off more than I can chew

G D
I'm moving on forward
C G D
I've got something new to brew
G D
A bit of this and that
C G D
And a quite a bit of ballyhoo
G D
Even though it may rain
C G D
Something great'll come shining through
G D
But don't worry baby
C D G
I'll be coming on back to you
G D
But don't worry baby
C D G
I'll be coming on back to you
