Born To Die Alone
Bm F#7
I was born a restless man, I do my livin’ where I can
Bm
And any road or highway is my home
Em Bm
Here today and gone tomorrow, keeping just ahead of sorrow
F#7 Bm
Knowing I was born to die alone
Bm F#7
Left my home when I was ten to try to spread my wings and then
Bm
Learn about some things I didn’t know
Em Bm
Labor cruises and gangly dancers taught me questions without answers
F#7 Bm
I (???) on I go
Bm F#7 Bm
Hear the sea in my destiny is calling me, calling me away
Em
To travel on
F#7 Bm
The day I die I know that I will be alone
Bm F#7
I go with the memory of the many flavored wine of love
Bm
I’ve had the chance to taste but never own
Em Bm
Though I know there’s no denying, love’s a pleasant way of dyin’
F#7 Bm
I believe I’m born to die alone
Bm F#7
Nights I drifted on the river,gazing at the stars so far above
Bm
In the dark that is their home
Em Bm
Life is like a lonely river driftin’ on into never
F#7 Bm
And like every star I’m alone
Bm F#7 Bm
Hear the sea in my destiny is calling me, calling me away
Em
To travel on
F#7 Bm
The day I die I know that I will be alone
