Simplified version.
*The asterisks denote that for one strum the D?s and A?s change to Dsus4 and a version
of Asus4 (like in the second line of tab).  It?s easy, and you?ll understand if you
hear the song.

D               *                   *
When she don?t need me it makes me crazy
               *                    *
She says rest easy and it makes me lazy
A             *        G                        D      *
But when she please me, she please me all night long

My friends are leaving, she says don?t worry
They?re only leaving, there is no parting
You will be lonely, I will be here with you

On winds of darkness, the light is soaring
And chains are bonded, freedom is singing
Cling to the darkness, until you turn to song

With the blues she?ll wash me and the sun she?ll dry me
The world will hide me but she will find me
And when she finds me, she will take me home

Repeat first verse.
