DThis is a song, that I Cmaj7wrote when I was young
And I Amcall it, the Gbroken hearted bluDes
The Dair on that night, was Cmaj7tempered like a knife
And the Ampeople wore the Gface masks of a clDown
DDon he was long, mis-Cmaj7shapen and forlorn
And his Amwoman ran aGway without a smDile
DDays of the earth, are unCmaj7broken changeless turf
But the Amfaces of the Gmen are something eDlse
Jason DWind, as a boy, was a Cmaj7spacious sexual toy
But Ambaby, now he's a Gtoothless baggy mDan
When the Dhills of the sun, make you Cmaj7feel that you are young
Get Amgood now, and Gface your face into the wiDnd
And Dthis is a song, that I Cmaj7wrote when I was young
And I Amcalled it the Gbroken hearted blDues

[Verse]

D Cmaj7

This is a song, that I wrote when I was young

Am G D

And I call it, the broken hearted blues

D Cmaj7

The air on that night, was tempered like a knife

Am G D

And the people wore the face masks of a clown

D Cmaj7

Don he was long, mis-shapen and forlorn

Am G D

And his woman ran away without a smile

D Cmaj7

Days of the earth, are unbroken changeless turf

Am G D

But the faces of the men are something else

D Cmaj7

Jason Wind, as a boy, was a spacious sexual toy

Am G D

But baby, now he's a toothless baggy man

D Cmaj7

When the hills of the sun, make you feel that you are young

Am G D

Get good now, and face your face into the wind

D Cmaj7

And this is a song, that I wrote when I was young

Am G D

And I called it the broken hearted blues
