Start Jamming...
A bunch of lonesome and very [Bm] quarrelsome heroes
[E] were smoking [E] out along the [A] open road.
The night was very dark and thick between [Bm]
[E]
each man beneath his ordinary [A] load.
[D]
I'd like to tell [A] my story, [B]
said one of them so young and [E] bold.
[D]
I'd like to tell [A] my story before [F#m]
I turn [E] into gold.
[A]
But no one really [Bm] could hear him,
[E] the night so dark and thick [A] and green.
Well, I guess that these heroes must [Bm] always live there,
[E] where you and I have [A] only been.
[A]
[D] Put out your
[A] cigarette, my love.
[B] You've been alone too [E] long.
[Em] [D] And some of us are all [A] very [E] hungry now to [G] [F#m] hear what it is you've done that was so [E] wrong.
I
[A] sing this [Bm] for the crickets.
[E] I sing this for [A] the army.
I sing this for [Bm] your children [E] and for all who [A] do not need me.
[C#] [D] I'd like to [A] tell my story,
[B] said one of them [E] so bold.
[D] Oh yes, I'd like to tell my [A] story,
[F#m] because you know I feel I'm turning [E] into gold.
