Intro: |
A A |
A Bm |
A bunch of lonesome and very quarrelsome heroes |
E |
Were smoking out |
E7 A A4 A Aadd9 A Aadd9 |
along the open road |
A Bm |
The night was very dark and thick between them |
E E7 |
Each man beneath |
A A4 A Aadd9 A Aadd9 |
his ordinary load |
D A |
"I'd like to tell my story," |
B E E7 |
Said one of them so young and bold |
D A |
"I'd like to tell my story |
F#m E Esus4 E E7 |
Before I turn into gold." |
A Bm |
But no one really could hear him |
E E7 |
The night so dark |
A A4 A Aadd9 A Aadd9 |
and thick and green |
A |
Well I guess that these heroes |
Bm |
must always live there |
E E7 A A4 A Aadd9 A Aadd9 |
Where you and I have only been |
D A |
Put out your cigarette, my love |
B E E7 |
You've been alone too long |
D A |
And some of us are very hungry now |
F#m |
To hear what it is you've done |
E Esus4 E E7 |
that was so wrong |
A Bm |
I sing this for the crickets |
E E7 A A4 A Aadd9 A Aadd9 |
I sing this for the army |
A Bm |
I sing this for your children |
E E7 A A4 A Aadd9 A Aadd9 |
And for all who do not need me |
D A |
"I'd like to tell my story," |
B E E7 |
Said one of them so bold |
D A |
"Oh yes, I'd like to tell my story |
F#m |
'cause you know I feel |
E Esus4 E E7 |
I'm turning into gold." |
