Old [E]man on the corner, [A]singing my [E]lif[Esus4]e[E]
And he's playing that guitar with a [A]rusty old [E]kni[Esus4]fe[E]
And every line that he sings rhymes with the [A]truth
And the [E]promise of [B]something beyond the [A]blues
Beyond the [E]blues

[E]Me and my darling took the [A]long way [E]aro[Esus4]und[E]
Through the wide open countries and the [A]heart attack [E]tow[Esus4]ns[E]
To every fork in the road where we've all got to [A]choose
Between [E]darkness and [B]light, beyond the [A]blues
Beyond the [E]blues, beyond the [A]shadows, beyond the [E]rai[Esus4]n[E]
Beyond the [B]darkness and all the [E]pain
When you're walking in [A]circles, with holes in your [E]sho[Esus4]es[E]
Love is the [B]road that leads out beyond the [A]blues
Beyond the [E]blues

Solo

[E]Old man on the corner has [A]been gone for [E]yea[Esus4]rs[E]
And that guitar in the night bled [A]rusty [E]tea[Esus4]rs[E]
But there's a song that he left us we'll never [A]lose
That [E]love is the [B]road that leads beyond the [A]blues

Beyond the [E]blues
Beyond the [E]blues, beyond the [A]shadows, beyond the [E]rain
Beyond the [B]darkness and all the [E]pain

When you're walking in [A]circles, with holes in your [E]shoes
Love is the [B]road that leads out beyond the [A]blues
Beyond the [E]blues

Love is the [B]road that leads out beyond the [A]blues
