SOL
When I was young I watched the cars
When I was older I drank in bars
DO SOL
When I was young I chewed the leaves
When I was older I drank with thieves
SOL
I found a love She gave me dreams
She left me drunk In New Orleans
DO SOL
So cold and lonely So all alone
I wished my heart Was made of stone
DO SOL DO SOL
I took the cold bright needle I used it as a sword
DO SOL RE SOL
My eyes have seen the glory of The coming of the Lord
DO SOL DO SOL
I burned across the delta I swam across the ford
DO SOL RE SOL
My eyes have seen the glory of The coming of the Lord
When I was a young man Standing on this road
My empty belly An aching hole
An old man said to me "Kid don't you know
That it's the same Wherever you go"
(not too sure about this part...)
SOL
I gambled in two graveyards I won against the odds
RE SOL
With the saints And the saviours With the maggots and the gods
SOL
I cursed the things they showed me I could never see again
RE SOL
And the howling of the wind at night I wrote upon the rain
SOL
I found the thing For which I prayed
And came back home To the USA
DO SOL
With a heart of stone And now I know
That it's the same Wherever you go
