the moody blues
tortoise and the hare
a question of balance – 1970
chords by stanetheman .

G

G
you know he’s moving fast ,

G
be he’s still going slow ,

Cm
he’s ahead in the race ,

Cm
and there is not far to go ,

F
and your load is so heavy

F
and your legs want to rest .

A# C A# C A# C A# C D# C
it’s all right , it’s all right , it’s all right .

G
you think he’s way up in front
but he’s so far behind .
he’s asleep in the grass ,
and he’s run out of time .
while your load was so heavy
you never wanted to stop .
it’s all right , it’s all right , it’s all right .

Am
your friend is heavy

F
but he was ready

D G
and never stopped for a while

Am
and while you were sleeping

F
he went on keeping

D Gm A# D# C F
the final line in his mind .

A# C A# C A# C A# C D# C
it’s all right , it’s all right , it’s all right .

. . .

long live the moody blues
