Turtles All The Way Down
Turtles All The Way Down
Sturgill Simpson
Key: E

Verse:
          E
I've seen Jesus play with flames, in a lake of fire
                    A     Asus4   A     Asus4
That I was standing in
        B7
Met the devil in Seattle
                                        E        Esus4   E        Esus4
And spent nine months inside the lions... den

    E
Met Buddha yet another time
                                        A    Asus4   A      Asus4
And he showed me the glowing light within
B7
But I swear that God is there, every time I glare
                          E            Esus4    E        Esus4
Into the eyes of my best... friend


Refrain:
A
Says my son, it's all been done
                                      E        Esus4   E        Esus4
Someday you're gonna wake up old and... gray
    A
So go and try to have some fun, showing warmth to everyone
                                          B7    (walk down)
You meet and greet... and cheat along the way

          E
There's a gateway in our minds that leads somewhere out there
                A      Asus4   A      Asus4
Far beyond this plane
      B7
Where reptile aliens made of light
                                E      Esus4   E      Esus4
Cut you open, pull out all your pain

        E
Tell me how you make illegal
                                  A       Asus4   A      Asus4
Something that we all make in our brain
      B7
Some say you might go crazy
                                  E         Esus4   E    Esus4
Then again, it might make you go... sane

A
Every time I... take a look... inside that old and... fabled book
    A
I'm blinded and... reminded of...
                                        E    Esus4   E    Esus4
The pain caused by some old man in the sky
A
Marijuana... LSD... psilocybin... DMT...
A
They all changed... the way I see...
    A                                           B7    (walk down)
But love's the only thing... that ever saved my life
          E
So, don't waste your mind on nursery rhymes or fairy tales of blood and wine
      A               A/G#         F#m
It's turtles all the way down the line
      A
So to each their own til' we go home... to other realms our souls must roam
A                                                 B7        E
To and through... the myth that... we all call... space and time
                                            (let final chord ring)
