Daniel Johnston Song Lyrics

Go

Respect (1985), Discovered Covered (2004)

So you think you've found the one

And she knows just how you feel

And you say that she's for real and she's fun

Well, that's all well and good

That's just the way it should be

To understand and be understood is to be free

So I think that you should go

Go on ahead

Take her in your arms and be wed

Go go go go you restless soul, you're going to find it

Go go go go you restless soul, you're going to find it

Yes, life's a bowl of cherries

You can have as many as you can carry

And someone once said that life is like a cow

But I don't know how that applies

But anyhow here we are all on this planet

Taking everything for granted

But I think you've caught on to something

Don't let go

Go go go go you restless soul, you're going to find it

Go go go go you restless soul, you're going to find it

Oh, yes you did, you found it

Oh, yes you did, you found it

Oh, yes you did, you found it

Originally played in G, but because of the cassete tape recorder speed, it is in Ab. So I when I refer to, for instance, the 3^rd fret, think about it as if you were playing in G without a capo.

Note: He adds a D note on the 2nd string/3rd fret (B-string) when he's playing his G chord.

When he plays his C chord, he seems to almost always leave the low E string open, instead of deadening it.

*On the "Go, go, go ... part, it's hard to tell exactly what he's doing, but it seems that he's playing G, then putting a finger on the fifth string, fourth fret, and then the fifth string, second fret, before going to Em on the word "restless." I put the notes that you would be fretting above
