Capo 2

    [ D ]                  [ G ]       [ D ]  [ D9 ]  [ D ]
Old man on the corner, singing my life
                             [ G ]      [ D ]  [ D9 ] [ D ]
He's playing guitar with a rusty old knife
                                          [ G ]
Each line that he sings rhymes with the truth
        [ D ]                   [ A ]        [ G ]
And the promise of something beyond the blues
  

[ D ]                            [ G ]     [ D ]  [ D9 ] [ D ]
You and me darling took the long way around
                                        [ G ]          [ D ]  [ D9 ] [ D ]
Across the wide open country, past the heart attack town
                                                 [ G ]
Hit the fork in the road where we all have to choose
        [ D ]                  [ A ]         [ G ]
Between darkness and light, beyond the blues

           [ D ]              [ G ]                   
Beyond the shadows, and the rain
           [ A ]                  [ D ]
Beyond the darkness, beyond the pain
                  [ G ]                         [ D ]  [ D9 ] [ D ]
You know in your heart there's no way I push through
                       [ A ]                              
Take a walk with me darling
            [ G ]
Beyond the blues

Solo

[ D ]                        [ G ]                  [ D ]  [ D9 ] [ D ]
That old man on the corner he's been gone for years
                     [ G ]               [ D ]  [ D9 ] [ D ]
His guitar and knife all rusted with tears
                                                         [ G ]
There's a song that he gave us that we'll never have to lose
  [ D ]                      [ A ]          [ G ]
About another life waiting beyond the blues
           

         [ D ]                 [ G ]                   
Beyond the shadows, and the rain
           [ A ]                    [ D ]
Beyond the darkness, beyond the pain
                   [ G ]                         [ D ]  [ D9 ] [ D ]
You know in your heart there's no way I push through
                       [ A ]                              
Take a walk with me darling
            [ G ]
Beyond the blues
  [ D ]                  [ A ]
Take a walk with me darling
             [ G ]
Beyond the blues
