(Willie Nelson then Kris Kristofferson)
1. [G] I'm gonna live forever
I'm gon-[C]na cross that river
I'm [D] gonna catch [G] tomorrow now
You're gonna want to hold me
Just [C] like i always told you
You'-[D]re gonna miss me [G] when i'm gone

(all together)
2. [C] Nobody here [G] will ever find me
But [D] I will always [G] be around
Just [C] like the songs I [G] leave behind me
I'm [D] gonna live [G] forever now

(Waylon Jennings then Johnny Cash)
3. [G]You fathers and you mothers
[C] Be good to one another
[D] Please try to raise your [G] children right
Don't let the darkness take 'em
[C] Don't make 'em feel forsaken
[D] Just lead them safe-[G]ly to the light

(all together)
[C] When this old world is [G] blown assunder
And [D] all the stars fall [G] from the sky
[C] Remember someone [G] really loves you
We'-[D]ll live forever [G] you and i

(all together)
[G]I'm gonna live forever
I'm [C] gonna cross that river
[D] I'm gonna catch [G] tomorrow now

(all together)
[G]I'm gonna live forever
I'm [C] gonna cross that river
[D] I'm gonna catch [G] tomorrow now

(all together)
[G]I'm gonna live forever
I'm [C] gonna cross that river
[D] I'm gonna catch [G] tomorrow now

3. [E]I been a mover
I was a shaker
You had a girlfriend
I tried to snake her
I've [A] been mysterious
I've been delirious
I've been so weird it would have killed a normal man

4. [E]I wanted money
I wanted power
I want a monument
Kind of like the Eiffel Tower
I've [A] been lost at sea
I've been lost in space
And when i fall in love
I fall all over the place

(all together)
[G]I'm gonna live forever
I'm [C] gonna cross that river
[D] I'm gonna catch [G] tomorrow now

5. [A]And you can go on forever and make the same mistakes
[B] Or you can stand up on your hind legs and change your fate
[A]Go on and do until you finally see
[B] What it is that you was that you don't want to be

6. I [E] was an outlaw
I was an in-law
I was a scapegoat
That was the last straw
I [A] hit the highway
Singin' my way
But it wound up sounding like you'll never walk alone

7. [E]I got a story
Reflected glory
Is the way that i've been seein' for most of my life
I hea-[A]rd the laughter
Up in the rafter
But i never ever thought that the joke was on me

(all together)
[G]I'm gonna live forever
I'm [C] gonna cross that river
[D] I'm gonna catch [G] tomorrow now

(all together)
[G]I'm gonna live forever
I'm [C] gonna cross that river
[D] I'm gonna catch [G] tomorrow now.
