Intro E A E E Esus4
E A E Esus4 E
Old man on the corner, singing my life
A E Esus4 E
And he's playing that guitar with a rusty old knife
A
And every line that he sings rhymes with the truth
E B A
And the promise of something beyond the blues
E
Beyond the blues
E A E Esus4 E
Me and my darling took the long way around
A E Esus4 E
Through the wide open countries and the heart attack towns
A
To every fork in the road where we've all got to choose
E B A
Between darkness and light, beyond the blues
E A E Esus4 E
Beyond the blues, beyond the shadows, beyond the rain
B E
Beyond the darkness and all the pain
A E Esus4 E
When you're walking in circles, with holes in your shoes
B A
Love is the road that leads out beyond the blues
E
Beyond the blues
Solo
E A E Esus4 E
Old man on the corner has been gone for years
A E Esus4 E
And that guitar in the night bled rusty tears
A
But there's a song that he left us we'll never lose
E B A
That love is the road that leads beyond the blues
E
Beyond the blues
E A E
Beyond the blues, beyond the shadows, beyond the rain
B E
Beyond the darkness and all the pain
A E
When you're walking in circles, with holes in your shoes
B A
Love is the road that leads out beyond the blues
E
Beyond the blues
B A
Love is the road that leads out beyond the blues
