E                  A        E 
Ride the blue wind high and free 
E                   A       E 
It'll lead you down through misery 
E              A            E     
Leave you low, come time to go 
          A              E    A  E    
Alone and low as low can be 
E                     A      E 
If I had a nickel I'd find a game 
E                     A       E 
If I won a dollar I'd make it rain 
E                         A        E 
If it rained an ocean I'd drink it dry 
           A      E   A  E 
And lay me down dissatisfied 
E                 A          E 
Legs to walk and thoughts to fly 
                  A       E 
Eyes to laugh and lips to cry 
                     A    E 
A restless tongue to classify 
E            A         E   A  E 
All born to grow and grown to die 
 
SOLO 
 
E                A      E 
tell my mother I did no wrong 
E                 A       E 
So tell my baby I said so long 
E                  A         E 
Tell my brother to watch his own 
            A                E    A 
And tell my friends to mourn me none 
E                    A       E 
I'm chained upon the face of time 
E               A       E 
Feelin' full of foolish rhyme 
E                         A           E 
There ain't no dark till something shines 
             A     E     A   E  A 
I'm bound to leave this dark behind 
E                  A         E 
Ride the blue wind high and free 
E                           A    E 
It'll lead you down through misery 
E                   A       E 
Leave you low, come time to go 
          A              E 
Alone and low as low can be
