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

        D                                               A
And Lord, there's something 'bout a sad song
D                                  A
that helps to ease the pain...
D                                  A
Here I am , Lord, just singing up a storm
            Dm     C#m   Bm   E
and I'm all alone again...

A       Aadd11 (x02100) X       2

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

D                                                       A
Seems that just like singing in the only thing to do
D                                               A
only thing to help me pass the time

D                                                       A
Songs are just like ladies--can't forget them when you're through
                   Dm      C#m Bm             E
and they're     always on your mind...

                D7M
And the rosewood bitters
                                                        A          Aadd11   A     Aadd11
Help me meet the sunshine in the morning
                D7M
And the rosewood bitters
                                                                  A     Aadd11  A      Aadd11  E
Help me through the night       When I feel blue

1st Verse w/leads  then   intro X2

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

D
And easing into midnight
           A
as the bitters pass around
D                          A
crying in my beer
D                                                  A
Singing someone else's troubles  helps to ease your own
Dm         C#m         Bm             E
Goodnight, Irene, my dear...
