Love Sick

Em

I'm walking, through streets that are dead
Em
D

Walking, walking with you in my head
Em
D
My feet are so tired
B
Am
Am7
My brain is so wired
Em
And the clouds are weeping Did I, hear someone tell a lie? Did I, hear someone's distant cry? I spoke like a child You destroyed me with a smile While I was sleeping
G
A
I'm sick of love
G
A
Em
That I'm in the thick of it
G
A
This kind of love
G
A
Em
I'm so sick of it I see, I see lovers in the meadow I see, I see silhouettes in the window I watch them 'til they're gone And they leave me hangin' on To a shadow I'm sick of love I hear the clock tick This kind of love I'm lovesick Sometimes, the silence can be like thunder Sometimes, I wanna take to the road and plunder Could you ever be true? I think of you And I wonder I'm sick of love I wish I'd never met you I'm sick of love I'm tryin' to forget you
Em
D
Just don't know what to do
C
B
Em
I'd give anything to be with you

Dirt Road Blues

Capo:

E
Gonna walk down that dirt road 'til someone lets me ride
A
E
Gonna walk down that dirt road 'til someone lets me ride
B
E
If I can't find my baby, I'm gonna run away and hide Well, I been pacing round the room, hoping maybe she come back Pacing round the room, hoping maybe she come back Well, I been praying for salvation, laying round in a one-room country shack Gonna walk down that dirt road, until my eyes begin to bleed Gonna walk down that dirt road, until my eyes begin to bleed 'Til there's nothing left to see, 'til the chains have been shattered and I been freed But I'm looking at my shadow, I been watching the clouds up above Looking at my shadow, watching the clouds up above Rolling through the rain and hail, looking for the sunny side of love Gonna walk down that dirt road 'til everything becomes the same Gonna walk down that dirt road 'til everything becomes the same I keep on walking 'til I hear her holler out my name

F
C
I got nothin' to go back to now The light in this place is so bad Makin' me sick in the head All the laughter is just makin' me sad The stars have turned cherry red I'm strummin' on my gay guitar Smokin' a cheap cigar The ghost of our old love has not gone away Don't look it like it will anytime soon You left me standin' in the doorway cryin' Under the midnight moon Maybe they'll get me and maybe they won't But not tonight and it won't be here There are things I could say, but I don't I know the mercy of God must be near I been ridin' a midnight train Got ice water in my veins I would be crazy if I took you back It would go up against every rule You left me standin' in the doorway cryin' Sufferin' like a fool When the last rays of daylight go down Buddy you'll roll no more I can hear the church bells ringin' in the yard I wonder who they're ringin' for I know I can't win But my heart just won't give in Last night I danced with a stranger But she just reminded me you were the one You left me standin' in the doorway cryin' In the dark land of the sun I eat when I'm hungry drink when I'm dry And live my life on the square And even if the flesh falls off of my face I know someone will be there to care It always means so much Even the softest touch I see nothing to be gained by any explanation There's no words that need to be said You left me standin' in the doorway cryin' Blues wrapped around my head

Million Miles

You told yourself a lie, that's alright mama I told myself one too
B7

Em
I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you You took the silver, you took the gold You left me standing out in the cold People asked about you, I didn't tell them everything I knew Well I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you I'm driftin' in and out of dreamless sleep Somehow my memory's in a ditch so deep Did so many things I never did intend to do And I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you I need your love so bad, turn your lamp down low I need every bit of it for the places that I go Sometimes I wonder, tell us just what it's all coming to Well I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you
Instrumental verse
Well I don't dare close my eyes and I don't dare wink Maybe in the next life I'll be able to hear myself think Feel like talking to somebody but I just don't know who Well I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you Yes the last thing you said before you hit the street Gonna find me a janitor to sweep me off my feet I said that's alright mamma you, you do what you gotta do Well I try to get closer I'm still a million miles from you Rock me pretty baby rock me all at once Rock me for a little while Rock me for a couple of months And I'll rock you too I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you Well there's voices in the night trying to be heard I'm sitting here listening to every mind-pollutin' word I know plenty of people put me up for a day or two Yes I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you

Tryin' to get to heaven before they close the door When I was in Missouri, they would not let me be I had to leave there in a hurry, I only saw what they let me see You broke a heart that loved you Now you can seal up the book and not write anymore I've been walkin' that lonesome valley Tryin' to get to heaven before they close the door People on the platforms, waitin' for the trains I can hear their hearts a-beatin', like pendulum swingin' on chains When you think that you've lost everything You find out you can always lose a little more I'm just going down the road feelin' bad Tryin' to get to heaven before they close the door
Instrumental verse
I'm goin' down the river, down to New Orleans They tell me everything is gonna be all right, but I don't know what all right even means I was ridin' in a buggy with Miss Mary Jane Miss Mary Jane got a house in Baltimore I've been all around the world boys I'm tryin' to get to heaven before they close the door Gotta sleep down in the parlor, and relive my dreams I close my eyes and I wonder, if everything is as hollow as it seems Some trains don't pull no gamblers No midnight ramblers like they did before I've been to Sugartown, I shook the sugar down Now I'm tryin' to get to heaven before they close the door
Instrumental verse

'Til I Fell In Love With You

Capo:

Well my nerves are exploding and my body is tense I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence
A
I been hit too hard, seen too much
E
Nothing can heal me now but your touch
B

A
E
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you Well my house is on fire, burnin' to the sky Well I thought it would rain, but the clouds passed by I feel like I'm comin' to the end of my way But I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray Still I don't know what I'm gonna do I was all right 'til I fell in love with you Boys in the street, beginnin' to play Girls like birds, flyin' away When I'm gone you will remember my name I'm gonna win my way to wealth and fame Yet I just don't know what I'm gonna do I was all right 'til I fell in love with you Well junk's pilin' up, takin' up space My eyes feel like they're fallin' off my face Sweat fallin' down, I'm starin' at the floor I'm thinkin' about that girl who won't be back no more I just don't know what to do I was all right 'til I fell in love with you Well I'm tired of talkin', I'm tired of tryin' to explain My attempts to please you, they were all in vain Tomorrow night, Before the sun goes down If I'm still among the livin' I'll be Dixie bound Still I just don't know what I'm gonna do I was all right 'til I fell in love with you

It's not dark yet, but it's getting there Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain Behind every beautiful thing, there's been some kind of pain She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind She put down in writin' what was in her mind I just don't see why I should even care It's not dark yet, but it's getting there Well I been to London and I been to gay Paris I followed the river and I got to the sea I've been down on the bottom of a whirlpool of lies I ain't lookin' for nothin' in anyone's eyes Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear It's not dark yet, but it's getting there I was born here and I'll die here, against my will I know it looks like I'm movin' but I'm standin' still Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from Don't even hear the murmur of a prayer It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

I'm twenty miles out of town, in cold irons bound The walls of pride, they're high and wide Can't see over to the other side It's such a sad thing to see beauty decay It's sadder still to feel your heart torn away One look at you and I'm out of control Like the universe has swallowed me whole I'm twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound There's too many people, too many to recall I thought some of 'em were friends of mine, I was wrong about 'em all Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood I found my world, I found my world in you But your love just hasn't proved true I'm twenty miles out of town, cold irons bound Twenty miles out of town, in cold irons bound Well the winds in Chicago have torn me to shreds Reality has always had too many heads Some things last longer than you think they will There are some kind of things you can never kill It's you and you only I'm thinking about But you can't see in, and it's hard looking out I'm twenty miles out of town, in cold irons bound Well the fat's in the fire, and the water's in the tank Well the whiskey's in the jar, and the money's in the bank I tried to love and protect you because I cared I'm gonna remember forever the joy we've shared I'm looking at you and I'm on my bended knee You have no idea what you do to me I'm twenty miles out of town, in cold irons bound Twenty miles out of town, in cold irons bound

And I don't know how much longer I can wait I'm your man, I've tried to recover the sweet love that we knew You understand that my heart can't go on beating without you Well your loveliness has wounded me, I'm reeling from the blow I wish I knew what it was that keeps me loving you so I'm breathin' hard, standin' at the gate And I don't know how much longer I can wait Skies are gray, I'm looking for anything that will bring a happy glow Night or day, it doesn't matter where I go anymore, I just go If I ever saw you comin' I don't know what I might do I'd like to think I could control myself, but it isn't true That's how it is when things disintegrate And I don't know how much longer I can wait

I'm doomed to love you, I been rollin' through stormy weather

Bsus4
I'm thinkin' of you and all the places we could roam together It's mighty funny, the end of time has just begun Oh honey, after all these years you're still the one Well I'm strollin' through the lonely graveyard of my mind I left my life with you somewhere back there along the line I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate I don't know how much longer I can wait

Well my heart's in the Highlands
A
E7
I'm gonna go there when I feel good enough to go Windows were shaking all night in my dreams Everything was exactly the way that it seems Woke up this mornin' and I looked at the same old page Same old rat race, life in the same old cage I don't want nothin' from anyone, ain't that much to take Wouldn't know the difference between a real blonde and a fake Feel like a prisoner in a world of mystery I wish someone would come and push back the clock for me Well my heart's in the Highlands wherever I roam That's where I'll be when I get called home The wind it whispers to the buck-eyed trees in rhyme Well my heart's in the Highlands I can only get there one step at a time I'm listening to Neil Young, I gotta turn up the sound Someone's always yellin', "Turn it down" Feel like I'm driftin', driftin' from scene to scene I'm wonderin' what in the devil could it all possibly mean? Insanity is smashin' up against my soul You could say I was on anything but a roll If I had a conscience, well I just might blow my top What would I do with it anyway, maybe take it to the pawn shop? My heart's in the Highlands at the break of dawn By the beautiful lake of the Black Swan Big white clouds like chariots that swing down low Well my heart's in the Highlands, only place left to go I'm in Boston town in some restaurant I got no idea what I want Or maybe I do but I'm just really not sure Waitress comes over, nobody in the place but me and her Well it must be a holiday, there's nobody around She studies me closely as I sit down She got a pretty face and long white shiny legs I said, "Tell me what I want" She say, "You probably want hard-boiled eggs" I said, "That's right, bring me some" She says, "We ain't got any, you picked the wrong time to come" Then she says, "I know you're an artist, draw a picture of me" I said, "I would if I could, but I don't do sketches from memory" Well she says "I'm right here in front of you, or haven't you looked?" I say, "All right I know but I don't have my drawin' book" She gives me a napkin, she say, "You can do it on that" I say, "Yes I could but I don't know where my pencil is at" She pulls one out from behind her ear She says, "Alright now go ahead, draw me, I'm stayin' right here" I make a few lines and I show it for her to see Well she takes the napkin and throws it back and says "That don't look a thing like me" I said, "Oh, kind miss, it most certainly does" She say, "You must be joking," I said, "I wish I was" And she says, "You don't read women authors do ya?" At least that's what I think I hear her say Well I say "How would you know, and what would it matter anyway" Well she says, "Ya just don't seem like ya do", I said, "You're way wrong" She says, "Which ones have you read then?", I say, "Read Erica Jong" She goes away for a minute, and I slide out, out of my chair I step outside back to the busy street, but nobody's goin' anywhere Well my heart's in the Highlands with the horses and hounds Way up in the border country far from the towns With the twang of the arrow and the snap of the bow My heart's in the Highlands, can't see any other way to go Every day is the same thing, out the door Feel further away than ever before Some things in life it just gets too late to learn Well I'm lost somewhere, I must have made a few bad turns I see people in the park, forgettin' their troubles and woes They're drinkin' and dancin', wearin' bright colored clothes All the young men with the young women lookin' so good Well I'd trade places with any of 'em, in a minute if I could I'm crossin' the street to get away from a mangy dog Talkin' to myself in a monologue I think what I need might be a full length leather coat Somebody just asked me if I'm registered to vote The sun is beginnin' to shine on me But it's not like the sun that used to be The party's over and there's less and less to say I got new eyes, everything looks far away Well my heart's in the Highlands at the break of day Over the hills and far away There's a way to get there, and I'll figure it out somehow Well I'm already there in my mind and that's good enough for now
