E5                  A5        E5 
Ride the blue wind high and free 
E5                   A5       E5 
It'll lead you down through misery 
E5              A5            E5     
Leave you low, come time to go 
          A5              E5    A5  E5    
Alone and low as low can be 
E5                     A5      E5 
If I had a nickel I'd find a game 
E5                     A5       E5 
If I won a dollar I'd make it rain 
E5                         A5        E5 
If it rained an ocean I'd drink it dry 
           A5      E5   A5  E5 
And lay me down dissatisfied 
E5                 A5          E5 
Legs to walk and thoughts to fly 
                  A5       E5 
Eyes to laugh and lips to cry 
                     A5    E5 
A restless tongue to classify 
E5            A5         E5   A5  E5 
All born to grow and grown to die 
 
SOLO 
 

E5                A5      E5 
tell my mother I did no wrong 
E5                 A5       E5 
So tell my baby I said so long 
E5                  A5         E5 
Tell my brother to watch his own 
            A5                E5    A5 
And tell my friends to mourn me none 
E5                    A5       E5 
I'm chained upon the face of time 
E5               A5       E5 
Feelin' full of foolish rhyme 
E5                         A5           E5 
There ain't no dark till something shines 
             A5     E5     A5   E5  A5 
I'm bound to leave this dark behind 
E5                  A5         E5 
Ride the blue wind high and free 
E5                           A5    E5 
It'll lead you down through misery 
E5                   A5       E5 
Leave you low, come time to go 
          A5              E5 
Alone and low as low can be
