A5       Aadd11 (x02100) X       8

A5       Aadd11  A5          Aadd11      
Too long on the road, my friend
D5                           A5          Aadd11  A5      Aadd11
Too long between rides
A5       Aadd11     A5        Aadd11     
Too long between homes again
        D5                                               A5 Aadd11               A5      Aadd11
Too lo-ong without someone by my side

        D5                                               A5
And Lord, there's something 'bout a sad song
D5                                  A5
that helps to ease the pain...
D5                                  A5
Here I am , Lord, just singing up a storm
            D5     C#5   B5   E5
and I'm all alone again...

A       Aadd11 (x02100) X       2

A5       Aadd11  A5         Aadd11
Too much going down today
D5                            A5         Aadd11  A5      Aadd11
just can't take it in
A5       Aadd11      A5          Aadd11
Too much running 'round today
D5                                     A5        Aadd11  A5      Aadd11
can't tell you where I've been

D5                                                       A5
Seems that just like singing in the only thing to do
D5                                               A5
only thing to help me pass the time

D5                                                       A5
Songs are just like ladies--can't forget them when you're through
                   D5      C#5 B5             E5
and they're     always on your mind...

                D5
And the rosewood bitters
                                                        A5          Aadd11   A5     Aadd11
Help me meet the sunshine in the morning
                D5
And the rosewood bitters
                                                                  A5     Aadd11  A5      Aadd11  E5
Help me through the night       When I feel blue

1st Verse w/leads  then   intro X2

A5       Aadd11    A5          Aadd11
Too few stop to pass the time
D5                               A5      Aadd11  A5          Aadd11
Guess that's how it goes
A5  Aadd11                       A5               Aadd11
So sure that there's much more than this
D5                               A5      Aadd11    A5          Aadd11
when really no one knows

D5
And easing into midnight
           A5
as the bitters pass around
D5                          A5
crying in my beer
D5                                                  A5
Singing someone else's troubles  helps to ease your own
D5         C#5         B5             E5
Goodnight, Irene, my dear...
