It's called Rex's Blues.
[E] [B]
[E] If you cut cards with Rex [A#] and you get a [A] three, he'll get a two.
[E] [E]
[F#] [E]
[F#]
[A] [E]
Ride the blue wind high and free, she'll lead you down through misery.
[F#] Leave you low come time to go,
[A] alone and low as low [E] can be.
[A] [E]
Well if I had [F#] a nickel I'd find a game.
If I won a dollar I'd make it rain.
If it rained an ocean I'd drink it dry and lay me [A] down
[E] dissatisfied.
[A] [E]
It's legs to [A] walk and thoughts to [F#] fly,
eyes to laugh and lips to cry, a restless tongue to classify,
born [A] to grow and [F#] grown to die.
So [A]
[E] [C#] [E]
[A] [F#]
[E]
[F#] tell my baby I said so long, tell my mother I did no wrong,
tell my brother to watch his own, and tell [F#m] my friends to [E] mourn me none.
[A] [E]
I'm chained [A] upon the face of time,
feeling full of foolish rhyme.
There ain't [F#m] no dark till something [E] shines.
I'm bound [A] to leave the [F#] dark behind.
[A] [E]
Well ride the [F#m] blue wind high [E] and free, she'll lead you down through misery.
Leave you [A] low come [E] time to go,
alone [F#m] and low as [E] low can be.
Alone [A] and low as low [E] can be.
