Chords

As recorded by Joan Baez (From the 1971 Album BLESSED ARE...) [Intro] A [Verse 1]
A
The cats are sleeping here in the autumn sun

A
Your dog has flushed a deer and he's on the run

        Bm
And the coffee cup is cold

                               A
And the morning's feeling very old
[Verse 2]
A
Fifteen months of time my man's been gone

A
The second winter now is coming on

        Bm7
And our fates could all be worse

                                    A
But sometimes I still must curse my own
[Chorus]
       F
And hello

           A
I wish you well

          F
Where you sleep

            A E
All in your cell
[Verse 3]
       A
As for friends I can't complain, they've been good to me

A
The fire's burning bright, they've left wood for me

        Bm
And the roof has been repaired

                                      A
And I thank them for the love they've shared
[Verse 4]
A
You see, there's really nothing wrong, I've just got the blues

A
Because if you give a damn you're going to pay some dues

           Bm
But if you see the game we're in

                                  A
Like I do, you know in time we'll win
[Chorus]
       F
And hello

           A
I wish you well

      F
Where you sleep

       A     E E7
All in your cell
[Verse 5]
A
So time give me a break of a week or more

A
My head is reeling and my back is sore

        Bm
And the baby cries for me

                                  A
And I think I'll walk by the sea alone
[Outro] A
