A D
Like a bluebird with his heart removed lonely as a train
A D A E A
I've run just as far as I can run
A D
If I never see the good old days shining in the sun
A E A
I'll be doing fine and then some
F#m E D A E
But how long how long woman will you weep
F#m E D A E A
How long how long rock yourself to sleep
A
You've been doing time in a lonesome prison
D
Where the sun don't shine
A E
Just outside a freedom river runs
A
Outside where it's shinny and night
D
With those blood hounds on your mind
A E A
Don't you know it's the same sad situation
F#m E D A E
But how long how long woman will you weep
F#m E D A E A
How long how long rock yourself to sleep
SOLO
A D
Everybody seems all right you know I heard some poor fool say
A E
Everyone is out there on the loose
A
I wished I lived in the land of fools ??
D
And no-one knew my name
A E A
What you get is not quite what you choose
F#m E D A E
But how long how long woman will you weep
F#m E D A E A
How long how long rock yourself to sleep
F#m E D A F#m B7 E
How long how long muddy river runs so deep
F#m E D A E A
How long how long goodbye baby rock yourself to sleep
A E A
Sweet surrender rock yourself to sleep
A E D A
Bye bye baby rock yourself to sleep
