Intro: E5 B5

E5 
Now there's a singer everyone has heard
E5
At night he turns into a mocking bird
                                       B5
If I whistle in the dark he'll do that too.
  E5
I met him on the road at the close of day
G5
Talk like me, walk this way 
         E5                B5             E5
I said "Mocking bird, you ain't no widowmaker".


E5
And there is a singer everybody knows, 
E5
he makes round with late night show,
                                  B5
Shake the hands in the hopes that the masquerade is on,
E5                                        A5
You turn him off on the radio when he say me and my shadow,
B5            
Shoot out the lights my shadow's gone.

E5
Down at the bottom of the calendar day
E5
find my roots yeah you'll see all eight
E5                                                         B5
if I'm tied up to the tracks, then he's chained up to the road

(Down at the bottom of the calendar day)
E5                                                A5
And it's one for the money, two for the show, for me and my shadow.
B5                                     E5
Shoot out the lights and my shadow's gone
B5                                      E5
Shoot out the lights and my shadow is gone

There is a shadow everyone has heard,
E5
At night he turns into a mocking bird,
                                        B5
If I whistle in the dark, he'll do that too
E5                              A5
I met him on the road today, a silhouette on a black highway 
        E5                 B5                          E5
I said "You can have this world, this world is not my own"
                E5                 B5                          E5
Then he said " You can keep this world, this world is not my home".
