  			Dm                    C               Am 
Where are you going?   Where are you going? 
Dm                     C   Am 
Will you take me with you? 
        Dm                       C   Am 
For my hand is cold and needs warmth.  
                Dm 
Where are you going? 

C                      Dm 
Far beyond where the horizon lies, 
            C    
Where the horizon lies, and the land sinks into 
D                C            D 
Mellow blueness, oh, please, take me with you. 
C                D 
Let me skip the road with you.     
       C                          D 
I can dare myself, I can dare myself.  
C                 D                 C 
I'll put a pebble in my shoe, and watch me walk, 
       D 
I can walk and walk. 

Dm                       C             Am              Dm 
I shall call the pebble dare. (I shall call the pebble dare) 
                            C        Am 
We will talk together about walking.  
               Dm 
Dare shall be carried, 
                      C 
And when we both have had enough,  
       Dm                               C          Am 
I will take him from my shoe, singing,  "Meet your new road." 
          Dm                      C              Am 
Then I'll take your hand, finally glad. (Finally glad) 

That you are here.  
      Dm              C          Am 
By my side, by my si--de, by my side 
       Dm             C          Am 
By my side, by my si--de, by my side 
       Dm                   C          Am 
By my side, that you are he--re by my side.
