[Verse]
D G D
Ride the blue wind high and free
G D
she'll lead you down through misery
G D
leave you low, come time to go
G G4 G D
alone and low as low can be
G D
If I had a nickel I'd find a game
G D
If I won a dollar I'd make it rain
G D
If it rained an ocean I'd drink it dry
G G4 G D
and lay me down dissatisfied
[D4 D D4... just do sthg, with some G too]
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
A A4 A E
all born to grow and grown to die
[E4 E E4, 'gain... ]
E A E
So tell my baby I said so long
A E
tell my mother I did no wrong
A E
tell my brother to watch his own
A A4 A E
and tell my friends to mourn me none
[G G4 G...]
G C G
I'm chained upon the face of time
C G
feelin' full of foolish rhyme
C G
there ain't no dark till something shines
C4 C G
I'm bound to leave this dark behind
E A E
Ride the blue wind high and free

she'll lead you down through misery

leave you low, come time to go
A A4 A E
alone and low as low can be
