Fig 2
Sing me a song , you're a singer.
Do me all wrong , you're a bringer of evil
The devil is never a maker .
The less that you give , you're a taker.
C D
So it's on and on and on, it's heaven and hell
Oh, well.

Lovers of life's not a sinner
The ending is just a beginner.
The close you get to the meaning
The sooner you know that You're dreaming.
C D
So it's on and on and on,
C D
Oh, it's on and on and on.
C D
It goes on and on and on. Heaven and Hell
Fig 1(not the last four notes.) and then Fig 2
I can tell
Oh,
ooh,
Yeah,yeah
yeah
Fig 2
Well if it seems to be real, it's illusion.
For ev'ry moment of truth there's confusion in life.
Lover can be seen as the answer.
But nobody bleeds for the dancer.
C D fig2
And it's on and on and on, on and on and on and on and on and on
on and on and on and on and on and on.
