There's a nicer version in Dmajor Tuning that I'll post on here soon, but below is a
version in standard tuning which I tweaked from another entry on U.G. The Em7 below is
debatable. Suggestions welcome.
CAPO on 3
[Verse 1]
Am G C
When my blood runs warm with an old red wine
G Am F
I miss the life that I left behind
Am G C
And when I hear the sound of the blackbird's cry
G F C
I know I left in the nick of time
[Verse 2]
Am G C
Well this road I'm on's gonna turn to sand
G Am F
And leave me lost in a far-off land
Am G C
So let me ride the wind 'till I don't look back
G F C
And forget the life that I almost had
[Pre-Chorus]
F Am C
If I wander 'till I die
F Am F
May I know whose hands I'm in
F Am C
And if my home I'll never find
G F C
Then let me live again
[Chorus]
C F G
The longer I run then the less that I find
C F G
Selling my soul for a nickel and dime
C F G
Breaking my heart to keep singing these rhymes
G Am
And losing again
C F G
The longer I run then the less that I find
C F G
Selling my soul for a nickel and dime
C F G
Breaking my heart to keep singing these rhymes
G Am
And losing again
[Verse 3]
Am G C
Tell my brother please not to look for me
G Am F
I ain't the man that I used to be
Am G C
But if my saviour comes could you let him know
G F C
I've gone away for to save my soul
[Pre-Chorus]
F Am C
If I wander 'till I die
F Am F
May I know whose hands I'm in
F Am C
And if my home I'll never find
G F C
Then let me live again
[Chorus]
C F G
The longer I run then the less that I find
C F G
Selling my soul for a nickel and dime
C F G
Breaking my heart to keep singing these rhymes
G Am
And losing again
C F G
The longer I run then the less that I find
C F G
Selling my soul for a nickel and dime
C F G
Breaking my heart to keep singing these rhymes
G Am
And losing again
