Open D tuning.
Melody on chorus (& high notes on gtr) are G-A-G-E (G-O-N-E).
Probably would be better served as simply an instrumental (or with some sweet psychedelic lyrics from Stephen Stills).
lyrics
Going going going gone
How can you tell when you've been gone too long
Going going going gone
You don't know where you belong
Going going going gone
Believe when I say the things that might be wrong
Going going going gone
How many words to put into this song
You turn it up, you turn it around
You're falling in, you're falling down
Thought you'd make it to the top
You never stop
Going going going gone
How can you tell when you've been gone too long
Going going going gone
You don't know where you belong
Going going going gone
Believe when I say the things that might be wrong
Going going going gone
How many words to put into this song
Bring it back, bring it to me
Leave it alone and let it be
Thought you'd make it to the end
You just pretend
Going going going gone
How can you tell when you've been gone too long
Going going going gone
You don't know where you belong
Going going going gone
Believe when I say the things that might be wrong
Going going going gone
How many words to put into this song
