Dsus2: 200320
Intro:  Am   G   Dsus2  Am  
          Verse
 DAmead before the sun could rise
 I Gstole the silver off my lover’s eyes
 Dsus2Rolled out on the dark demise
 Of midnight’s breaking AmdayG  
 AmI was born full grown and raised up wild
 GAll mortal bones and passions piled
 Dsus2Upon my head the blessed child
 The father of the Amman
          Chorus
 I cut my Ghair and caught a train tAmo Jackson
 I took a Gname and found the range
 Where my Amvoice could make no sound
 I met a Gman he told me “Son, I can Amsee you’re on the run
 If you Gtell me where you’re going, Dsus2I’ll tell you where you’re boAmund G  Dsus2  Am  
            Verse
 TAmhey put me off outside of town
 A Gcold black rain was coming down
 Dsus2I lay my head on the red clay ground
 And slept for a thousand AmyearsG  
 AmI woke into a fever dream
 WGhere silence talked and money screamed
AnDsus2d nothing was but only seemed
And nobody seemed tAmo care
          Chorus
I cut my Gteeth on the bread of pure tempAmtation
I tried iGt all and I learned to fall
Like I would Amnever hit the ground
I met a Gghost who looked like me I asked him, “Is Amit plain to see
Or is it Ghidden?”   Dsus2He never made a sAmoundG  Dsus2  Am  
           Verse
I was a Amlion in a circus ring
A Gscarecrow dressed up like a king
Dsus2Innocent of anything
Like love and going AmblindG  
SAmo I set all my clothes on fire
 SGold my soul to any buyer
Dsus2Wrapped my heart in concertina wire
And showed it for a Amsong
         Chorus
I cut anGd run I ran until I stAmumbled
I struck out Galone a rolling stone
Forty Amdays came up and down
I chased thGe river to the source I met a giAmrl on a pale horse
She pGressed her fingers up against my Dsus2lips
And I fell down dead anAmd gone G  Dsus2  Am

Dsus2

Dsus2: 200320

Am G Dsus2 Am

Intro:

Verse

Dead before the sun could rise

I stole the silver off my lover’s eyes

Dsus2

Rolled out on the dark demise

Am G

Of midnight’s breaking day

I was born full grown and raised up wild

All mortal bones and passions piled

Dsus2

Upon my head the blessed child

The father of the man

Chorus

G Am

I cut my hair and caught a train to Jackson

I took a name and found the range

Where my voice could make no sound

G Am

I met a man he told me “Son, I can see you’re on the run

G Dsus2 Am G Dsus2 Am

If you tell me where you’re going, I’ll tell you where you’re bound

Verse

They put me off outside of town

A cold black rain was coming down

Dsus2

I lay my head on the red clay ground

Am G

And slept for a thousand years

I woke into a fever dream

Where silence talked and money screamed

Dsus2

And nothing was but only seemed

And nobody seemed to care

Chorus

G Am

I cut my teeth on the bread of pure temptation

I tried it all and I learned to fall

Like I would never hit the ground

G Am

I met a ghost who looked like me I asked him, “Is it plain to see

G Dsus2 Am G Dsus2 Am

Or is it hidden?” He never made a sound

Verse

I was a lion in a circus ring

A scarecrow dressed up like a king

Dsus2

Innocent of anything

Am G

Like love and going blind

So I set all my clothes on fire

Sold my soul to any buyer

Dsus2

Wrapped my heart in concertina wire

And showed it for a song

Chorus

G Am

I cut and run I ran until I stumbled

I struck out alone a rolling stone

Forty days came up and down

G Am

I chased the river to the source I met a girl on a pale horse

G Dsus2

She pressed her fingers up against my lips

Am G Dsus2 Am

And I fell down dead and gone
