As recorded by Rory Gallagher (From the 1978 Album PHOTO-FINISH) [Intro] Am C Em Am C Em Am C Em Am G [Verse 1]
C                      G
Packed my things in an overnight bag

  C                             G
A toothbrush and guitar, got no tail to drag

      Dm   Dm/C G/B                 Am     G
Gonna leave,    on the next passing breeze
[Verse 2]
C                       G
My heart is heavy, as a sky full of rain

C                            G
Mind full of notions, that I just can't explain

            Dm Dm/C G/B              Am    Em
The reasons why,    just can't be supplied
[Interlude] Am C Em Am C Em Am G [Verse 3]
C                           G
Trapped by a heartache, and freed by my will

C                       G
Sentenced to wander, so much time to kill

        Dm  Dm/C G/B         Am  G
Hear my plea,     and rescue me
[Verse 4]
C                       G
Packed my sorrows in an overnight bag

C                     G
But I'll be gone much longer than that

          Dm  Dm/C G/B           Am
Who knows when,      we'll meet again?
[Bridge]
G                  Dm                     Am
Too many sleepless nights, put my soul on edge

    G                Dm                     Am   G
And so many restless moods, lay heavy in my head
[Guitar Solo] C G C G Dm Dm/C G/B Am G C G C G Dm Dm/C G/B Am [Bridge]
G                  Dm                     Am
Too many sleepless nights, put my soul on edge

    G                Dm                     Am   G
And so many restless moods, lay heavy in my head
[Verse 5]
C                             G
Wrote down my thoughts, and I sealed them in hope

C                     G
Sent them to you in a blue envelope

      Dm    Dm/C G/B           Am  G
Not received,      it seems to me
[Verse 6]
C                        G
I had some things that I wanted to say

C                      G
But my chance, well it just blew away

       Dm    Dm/C G/B              Am  Em
On the breeze,      like some mystery
[Outro] Am C Em C Em Am C Em Am C Em Am C Em Am C Em Am C Em Am C Em Am C Em Am C Em Am
