E A E
Ride the blue wind high and free
E A E
It'll lead you down through misery
E A E
Leave you low, come time to go
A E
Alone and low as low can be
E A E
If I had a nickel I'd find a game
E A E
If I won a dollar I'd make it rain
E A E
If it rained an ocean I'd drink it dry
A E
And lay me down dissatisfied
E A E
Legs to walk and thoughts to fly
A E
Eyes to laugh and lips to cry
A E
A restless tongue to classify
E A E
All born to grow and grown to die
SOLO
E A E
So tell my baby I said so long
E A E
tell my mother I did no wrong
E A E
Tell my brother to watch his own
A E
And tell my friends to mourn me none
E A E
I'm chained upon the face of time
E A E
Feelin' full of foolish rhyme
E A E
There ain't no dark till something shines
A E
I'm bound to leave this dark behind
E A E
Ride the blue wind high and free
E A
It'll lead you down through misery
E A E
Leave you low, come time to go
A E
Alone and low as low can be
