Turtles All the Way Down Chords by Sturgill Simpson

[Start]
N.C.                                          
Introducing Metamodern Sounds in Country Music


[Verse]
                          E     
I've seen Jesus play with flames
             E                          
In a lake of fire that I was standing in
A D A D
■ ■ ■ ■
        B7              
Met the devil in Seattle
                                 E        
And spent nine months inside the lions den
    E                      
Met Buddha yet another time
                                 A      D A
And he showed me a glowing light within ■ ■
B7                           
But I swear that God is there
                                       E          
Every time I glare into the eyes of my best friend


[Chorus]
A                             
Says my son It's all been done
                                     E       
And someday you're gonna wake up old and gray
   A                          
So go and try to have some fun
A                         
Showing warmth to everyone
                                       B7 
You meet and greet and cheat along the way


[Verse]
          E                   
There's a gateway in our minds
                                               A    
That leads somewhere out there far beyond this plane
B7                                
Where reptile aliens made of light
                                   E    Esus4 E
Cut you open and pull out all your pain ■     ■
        E                   
Tell me how you make illegal
                                  A    
Something that we all make in our brain
B7                         
Some say you might go crazy
                                 E      
But then again it might make you go sane


[Chorus]
A            B          
Every time I take a look
A                   B          
Inside that old and fabled book
    A                      
I'm blinded and reminded of
                                   E A      
The pain caused by some old man in ■ the sky
A            
Marijuana LSD
A                 
Psilocybin and DMT
A                             
They all changed the way I see
                                             B   
But love's the only thing that ever saved my life
B7 E B7       E                                
So ■ ■  don't waste your mind on nursery rhymes
   E                            
Or fairy tales of blood and wine
A                    G#m          F#m7
It's turtles all the way down the line
   A                                
So to each their own 'til we go home
A                                  
To other realms our souls must roam
                                         B7    E       
To and through the myth that we all call space and time
