Jerry Jeff Walker * 1990 **
D G D
D Bm G D
Thinking lonely thoughts about tomorrow
Bm A A7
Like my emptiness today
G D Bm
And how I know that the blues will haunt me
G A A7 D D G D
'Til I die or rambling' sets me straight
G D
I do not doubt that you are really trying
Bm A A7
It's just that I must break things down
G D Bm
I cannot see myself in your shoes
G A A7 D
I've got to go and bring it back around
G D
I'm here today and then I'm gone tomorrow
Bm A A7
I'm like a packrat in disguise
G D Bm
I leave a song and I take your wine, truth
G A A7 D
To spend the night alone beneath the sky
G D Bm A A7 G D Bm G A D G D
G D
I'm now alone and I know I need to ramble
Bm A A7
'Cause it's the call from deep inside
G D Bm
Away out there I'm sure I'm honest
G A A7 D D G D
For it's the strongest friend that I can find
D Bm G D
Thinking lonely thoughts about tomorrow

Like my emptiness today

And how I know that the blues will haunt me
