[VERSE 1]
 D                  G         D  Dsus2
Ride the blue wind high and free

D                        G       D  Dsus2
It'll lead you down through misery

 D               G          D 
Leave you low come time to go

           G              D
Alone and low as low can be

[VERSE 2]
D                       G      D  Dsus2 
If I had a nickel, I'd find a game

D                       G       D  Dsus2
If I won a dollar, I'd make it rain

    D                            G       D 
And if it rained an ocean, I'd drink it dry

            G            D
And lay me down dissatisfied

[VERSE 3]
      D                 G         D  Dsus2 
It's legs to walk and thought to fly 

D                  G       D  Dsus2
Eyes to laugh and lips to cry

D                      G    D 
A restless tongue to classify

              G                D
All born to grow and grown to die

Tell my mother, I did no wrong

Tell my baby, I said so long

[VERSE 5]
      D               G       D  Dsus2 
I'm chained upon the face of time

 D               G        D  Dsus2 
Feelin' full of foolish rhyme

       D             G               D 
There ain't no dark till something shines
