J.D. Souther How Long written by J.D. Souther
AD Like a bluebird with his heart removed lonely as a train ADAEA I've run just as far as I can run AD If I never see the good old days shining in the sun AEA I'll be doing fine and then some F#mEDAE But how long how long woman will you weep F#mEDAEA How long how long rock yourself to sleep A You've been doing time in a lonesome prison D Where the sun don't shine AE Just outside a freedom river runs A Outside where it's shinny and night D With those blood hounds on your mind AEA Don't you know it's the same sad situation F#mEDAE But how long how long woman will you weep F#mEDAEA How long how long rock yourself to sleep
SOLO
AD Everybody seems all right you know I heard some poor fool say AE Everyone is out there on the loose A I wished I lived in the land of fools ?? D And no-one knew my name AEA What you get is not quite what you choose F#mEDAE But how long how long woman will you weep F#mEDAEA How long how long rock yourself to sleep F#mEDAF#mB7E How long how long muddy river runs so deep F#mEDAEA How long how long goodbye baby rock yourself to sleep AEA Sweet surrender rock yourself to sleep AEDA Bye bye baby rock yourself to sleep
