[Verse 1]
        G             C   C/B             C        C/B        A7
On the old forgotten crossways where the fourteen rivers did meet

    G            C   C/B     C    C/B        A7
The bones of our elders were lying in the street

        G             C  C/B  C    C/B          A7
On the dark and dusty desert like a ghost I've flown

  G            C   C/B              C    C/B      A7
I barely cried wherever I'd ride I never found a home
[Chorus]
C   D   G
Woe on me

 Am        C               D
Somehow I will feel more free

B7                               C
To wallow in the empty headed peace

Em                       C             D
Where the plain hearted sorrows never cease
[Verse 2]
   G            C   C/B  C       C/B      A7
I am just a ramshackle I go from town to town

    G             C   C/B     C     C/B       A7
Where there is no shelter I lay down on the ground

      G            C   C/B     C    C/B        A7
I've killed for no reason I've pissed upon a kind

G                  C         C/B   C        C/B      A7
Cost them all and burned the bone when I've had the time
[Chorus]
C   D   G
Woe on me

 Am        C               D
Somehow I will feel more free

B7                               C
To wallow in the empty headed peace

Em                       C             D
Where the plain hearted sorrows never cease
[Verse 3]
              G                   C   C/B         C    C/B        A7
Well there's saints and there are animals they've taken what they could

         G              C  C/B   C       C/B        A7
And it's written in the pages to do just what they should

           G                   C        C/B       C        C/B        A7
Well they stood the test and burned the rest and tore them limb from limb

        G              C   C/B      C   C/B       A7
Like a fashion with no passion they open up their skin
[Chorus]
C   D   G
Woe on me

 Am        C               D
Somehow I will feel more free

B7                               C
To wallow in the empty headed peace

Em                        C             D
Where the plain hearted sorrows never cease
