Original hand-written draft


G           D       Em    Bb
Walking down dusty road
C                      D
Sure am feelin’ fine
G        D        Em
Finest feelin’ ever knowed
C                        G            D
Because it is not mine.

 

Garden flows, river grows

Manzanita, oak, and pine

Finest feelin’ ever known

Because it is not mine

          C
In the days there are gnats
          G
In the night there are bats
Am             B7                     Em  E7
In between suns come and go
       C                                        G
The mountains so high and the clouds they float by
Am                            D

What else is there to know

 

Walkin down dusty road

Sure am feelin’ fine

Finest feelin’ ever knowed

Because it is not mine.

Berjalan di jalan berdebu

Berjalan di jalan berdebu
Tentu saya merasa baik-baik saja
Perasaan terbaik yang pernah diketahui
Karena itu bukan milikku.

Taman mengalir, sungai tumbuh
Manzanita, ek, dan pinus
Perasaan terbaik yang pernah diketahui
Karena itu bukan milikku
Pada hari-hari ada agas
Di malam hari ada kelelawar

Di antara matahari datang dan pergi
Gunung-gunung begitu tinggi dan awan-awan mereka mengapung
Apa lagi yang perlu diketahui?

Berjalan di jalan berdebu
Tentu saya merasa baik-baik saja
Perasaan terbaik yang pernah diketahui
Karena itu bukan milikku.
