Verse 1 GDG Way down along Sycamore Slough CG A white man sings the blues GDG Selling roses of papier mache CD With flecks of starlight dew EmD I swiped a bunch and I threw it your way CBm Where hazy moonlight glowed Chorus CGA7/GC/GG Way down, down along lazy river road Verse 2 GDG Way down along Shadowfall Ward CG End of the avenue GDG Run hide seek in your own backyard CD Mama's backyard won't do EmD All night long I sang love's sweet song CBm Down where the water flowed
Repeat chorus
Bridge AmD Moonlight wanes as hound dogs bay EmBEm Never quite catch the tune AmD Stars fall down in buckets like rain EmBEm Till there ain't no standing room AmB Bright blue boxcars, train by train AmB Rattle while dreams unfold CGA7/GC/GG Way down, down along lazy river road
Verse 3 GDG Way down along Seminole Square CG Belly of the river tide GDG Call for me and I will be there CD For the price of a taxi ride EmD Night time double clutches into today CBm Like a truck downshifting its load
Repeat Chorus/Solo/Repeat Bridge
Verse 4 GDG Thread the needle right through the eye CG The thread that runs so true GDG All the others I let pass by CD I only wanted you EmD I never cared much for careless love CBm But, oh, how your bright eyes glowed
Repeat chorus three times with lyrics, once without lyrics to final cadence
