John Prine – Sleepy Eyed Boy (Guitar)

D
Where are the boot straps,

   D
To lift myself up?

G
Where is the well

        D
Where I once filled my cup?

G
Where does this sorrow

     D
All turn into joy?

    D                     A           D
And where oh where is the sleepy-eyed boy?

D
Where is my true love

         D
When the wind starts to moan?

       G
Is she out in the wild wood?

       D
Is she there all alone?

       G 
Have I cast her aside

        D
Like an unwanted toy?

        D                     A           D
Tell me where oh where is the sleepy-eyed boy?

     D
He’s goin’ down the backroads

     D
In a cold pourin’ rain

       G
He’s a waitin’ for a postcard

       D
In the south coast of Spain

G 
Postmarked from a sweetheart

        D
Back in ol’ Illinois

       D                    A           D
Sayin’ where oh where is my sleepy-eyed boy?

D
Where are the boot straps,

   D
To lift myself up?

G
Where is the well

        D
Where I once filled my cup?

G
Where does this sorrow

     D
All turn into joy?

    D                     A           D
And where oh where is the sleepy-eyed boy?

D                     A           D
Where oh where is the sleepy-eyed boy?

D                     A           D
Where oh where is the sleepy-eyed boy?
