Standard (EADGBE)
Verse i
JUST MY DOG AND I AT THE EDGE OF THE UNIVERSE
WELL I DIDN'T WANNA BRING HER
AND I KNOW IT'LL MAKE HER WORSE
NOW I LOOK OUT ON FOREVER
AND IT MUST BE NICE DOWN THERE
AND THEY CALL ME SHENANDORA IN THE AIR
Verse ii
WELL I'M TEN FEET TALL BUT I'M ONLY THREE FEET WIDE
AND I LIVE INSIDE THE OCEAN THAT FLOWS ON THE OTHER SIDE
IF I CAME BACK DOWN TOMORROW
WOULD IT ALL BE FAR TOO SOON
AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GONNA BE A LOVELY AFTERNOON
Verse iii
I THOUGHT THAT I WAS GOING HOME
AND ALL THE WAY I KEPT ON PRAYIN'
I COULDN'T STOP TO TURN AROUND
WELL HERE I AM AND HERE I'M STAYIN'
IT'S BEEN MY LONGEST JOURNEY
AND I'VE COME THROUGH THE BLACK OF NIGHT
I WAS TIRED AND HUNGRY WHEN I SAW YOUR DISTANT LIGHT
WELL I KNOW THIS MAY SOUND CRAZY
BUT I'M SURE I GOT HERE FIRST
I'M JUST ME, SHENANDORA, AT THE EDGE OF THE UNIVERSE
REPEAT VERSE III THEN REPEAT VERSE I
