Version 1
[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
