Well, I tried, and I tried,

But the river seems so wide.

And my head hurts and my hands are tied.

         C     G7
And it's so... hard,

            F               C
When you're standing on the yard,

      F              G7             C
Every time that your number comes a-round.

Get the message to me, anyway you can.

                     C                        F
Well, let your river roll, a-way down in your soul,

From the airport, to the plane,

A-way to the railroad trains.

Why can't we take it from the top,

              C
And start all over again?

              C                 G7
Everytime you hear that whistle blow,

Every time your number comes a-round.

From the car, to the bar;

   F                          C
Or why don't you pour it in a jar?

         F
An put a label on it,

    G7                          C
And send it off to the lost and found.

             C              G7
You've gotta get it in your brain,

Every time your number comes a-round. (Here it comes);
