[Verse]
I Gdream with my eyes oDpen
I Gsee with my eyes cDlosed
I Gwatch through many Bmwindows
AHeaven only knows
Some Gwords can't be Dspoken
Some tGhings can't be explBmained
DOut when it gets Glonesome
In the early summer Drain
GBlack crow he's the Djoker
GRed rail hawk's the kDing
GDiamondback he's the Bmtax man
AHe don't miss a thing
Out Gwhere there's no foDrgiveness
Out Gwhere's there's no Bmblame
DOut where it's gets lGonesome
In the early summer rDain
There's Awind down in these ditches
There's Gred dust on the rye
But there's Dstorm up on the riGdges
There's a Dsilver tear in my eyes
AAll I know is you my friend
GWill  not see my pain
DOut where it gets lGonesome
In the early summer DrainG  
There's a Gred flying horse by the Droadside
GSpreading his wings Dagain
GMe and him are gonna tBmake a little ride
AHope we catch a good tail wind
GTake me to the purple Dmountain
GWhere nobody knows my Bmname
DOut where it gets Glonesome
In the early summer rAain
There's Awind down in these ditches
There's Gred dust on the rye
But there's Dstorm up on the rGidges
There's a Dsilver tear in my eyes
AAll I know is you my friend
GWill  not see my pain
DOut where it gets lGonesome
In the early summer Drain
AAll I know is you my friend
GWill  not see my pain
DOut where it gets lGonesome
In the early summer DrainG  D
