[Verse]
D                  G        D
Ride the blue wind high and free

                             G    D
she'll lead you down through misery

                    G       D
leave you low, come time to go

          G G4 G         D
alone and low as low can be

                      G      D
If I had a nickel I'd find a game

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

                          G        D
If it rained an ocean I'd drink it dry

           G G4 G        D
and lay me down dissatisfied
D4 D D4
D                G           D
Legs to walk and thoughts to fly

                  G       D
eyes to laugh and lips to cry

                     G     D
a restless tongue to classify

            G G4 G            D
all born to grow and grown to die
D4 D D4
D                 G       D
So tell my baby I said so long

                 G      D
tell my mother I did no wrong

                   G         D
tell my brother to watch his own

            G      G4 G         D
and tell my friends to mourn me none
D D4 D
D                    G       D
I'm chained upon the face of time

                G       D
feelin' full of foolish rhyme

                         G         D
there ain't no dark till something shines

             G4   G            D
I'm bound to leave this dark behind

D                  G        D
Ride the blue wind high and free

D                            G   D
she'll lead you down through misery

                    G       D
leave you low, come time to go

          G G4 G         D
alone and low as low can be
