C 
Like a blue bird with his heart removed 
F 
Lonely as a train 
     C     F     C      G     C   
I’ve run just as far as I can run 
C                                F 
If  I ever see the good old days shining in the sun 
C             G             C 
I’ll be doin’ fine and then some 


      Am  G    F   C                     G 
   How long how long woman will you weep 
   Am  G    F   C    G                C 
   How long how long rock yourself to sleep  


C 
I’ve been doin’ time in a lonesome prison 
F 
Where the sun don’t shine 
                               G 
Just outside the freedom river runs 
C 
Out there in that shining night  
F 
With bloodhounds on your mind 
C                     G               C 
Don’t you know it’s a same sad situation 

Chorus 

Solo 
C F ( C - F - C ) G 

C              C7 
Everbody feels allright  
F 
You now I’ve heard some poor fool sing 
C                            G 
Everyone is our there on the loose 
C 
Well I wish I’ve been in the land of fools  


F 
No one knew my name 

C                       G               C 
But what you get is not quite what you choose 

Chorus 
Am       G         F       C 
Hoooooow looooong, hooooow looooong  
Am    D             D 
Muddy river runs so deep 
Am       G         F       C 
Hoooooow looooong, hooooow looooong 
C               G                C 
Good night baby rock yourself to sleep
