Verse:
Bm A D
If I get up and let you in
Bm A D
I lose my house and my home again
Bm A D
If I get up and try to come
G A
I get sent back to the land I'm from
G A D
Back to the land I'm from
Bm A D
The cloud came low and the rain did pour
Bm A D
I hear your hand touch on my door
Bm A D
The rain has quit and the light of the moon
G A
Shows you standing in my room
G A D
Standing in my room
Chorus:
Bm A D
Bugeye Jim, I can't come
Bm A D
I can twist and turn, but I can't come
Bm A D
I can ache and I can burn, but I can't come
G A
I work up this morning with an aching brain
G A D
Hear you tap on my window pane.
D
Verse
Bm A D
I look at you with a heavy head
Bm A D
I hear you sit down on my bed
Bm A D
The storm gets worse and my heart feels bare
G A
I feel your fingers comb my hair
G A D
Your fingers comb my hair
Bm A D
The mud it runs and the waters rise
Bm A D
I feel your hot kiss on my eyes
Bm A D
The rain it rained and the world did stir
G A
I sing to you my lovesick word
G A D
I sing you my lovesick word
Chorus:
Bm A D
Bugeye Jim, I can't come
Bm A D
I can twist and turn, but I can't come
Bm A D
I can ache and I can burn, but I can't come
G A
I work up this morning with an aching brain
G A D
Hear you tap on my window pane.
