Kris Kristofferson - Shipwrecked in the 80s (Live at Farm Aid 1985) chords
Start Jamming...
Here's a song called Shipwrecked in the 80s.
[B]
Goes out to the farmer and the Vietnam vet and all the rest of us who just wonder what
the hell's going on [E] today.
Well you fight like the devil to just keep your [B] head above water.
Chained to whatever you got that you [E] can't throw away.
And you're shooting through space on this river of life [B] that you're right.
And it's swirling and sucking you deeper on down [E] every day.
[A] So you turn to your trusty old partner to share some [E] old feelings.
And you [B] find to your shock that your faithful companion [E] is gone.
So long Tano.
[A] The truth slowly dawns that you're lost and alone [E] in deep water.
[B] And you don't even know how much longer there is [C#m] to go on.
You [E]
[B]
know what I'm [E] talking about.
Like an old holy bible you've flung to through so [B] many seasons.
With the rules of survival and words you could still [E] understand.
It proved something wrong you believed in so long.
[B]
You're crazy.
So close to folding the cards that you hold in [E] your hand.
[A] Singing holy toledo I can't see the [E] light anymore.
[B] All those horizons that I used to guide me [E] are gone.
Scary out there.
[A] And the darkness is driving me farther away from [E] the shore.
[B] Throw me a rhyme or a reason to try to [C#m] go on.
[C#] Come on y'all, you're on your [E] time baby!
