D5                  G5        D5
Ride the blue wind high and free
                             G5    D5
she'll lead you down through misery
                    G5       D5
leave you low, come time to go
          G5 G5 G5         D5
alone and low as low can be


                      G5      D5
If I had a nickel I'd find a game
                      G5       D5
If I won a dollar I'd make it rain
                          G5        D5
If it rained an ocean I'd drink it dry
           G5 G5 G5        D5
and lay me down dissatisfied


[D4 D D4... just do sthg, with some G too]
E5                A5           E5
Legs to walk and thoughts to fly
                  A5       E5
eyes to laugh and lips to cry
                     A5     E5
a restless tongue to classify
            A5 A5 A5            E5
all born to grow and grown to die

[ E5 E5 E5 , 'gain... ]
E5                 A5       E5
So tell my baby I said so long
                 A5      E5
tell my mother I did no wrong
                   A5         E5
tell my brother to watch his own
            A5      A5 A5         E5
and tell my friends to mourn me none

[ G5 G5 G...]
G5                    C5       G5
I'm chained upon the face of time
                C5       G5
feelin' full of foolish rhyme
                         C5         G5
there ain't no dark till something shines
             C5   C5            G5
I'm bound to leave this dark behind

E5                  A5        E5
Ride the blue wind high and free
E5                            A5   E5
she'll lead you down through misery
                    A5       E5
leave you low, come time to go
          A5 A5 A5         E5
alone and low as low can be

one of the truest songs on earth, thank you tvz.
