[Gm]
I lost you a while [C] ago
[Cm] Still I don't know [Gm]
why
I can't say your name
[Cm]
Got a crow [Gm] flying by
[Eb]
Gotta watch [Dm] my back
Now that you turned [G] me around
[Gm] [Cm] Got me walking backwards
Into my [Gm] hometown
Throw [Bb] me [Eb] a rope
[Bb] On the rolling [Eb] tide
What
[C] did [Gm] you want it to [Eb] be?

[Cm] said [Dm] it's him or [Eb] me
The

[Gm] We were seven years on the Burma [C] shore
[Cm] Gatling guns and [Gm] pain
Working the lowlands door to [Dm] door
[Cm] Like a ladder, do you [Gm]

[Gm]
never been so [Cm] disabused
I've never been so [G]
[Gm] mad
[C] I've [Gm]
never been served anything
[Cm]
That tasted so [Gm] bad
You [Eb]
might [Dm] need a friend
Any day now, any [G]
day
[Gm] Oh [Cm] my brother be careful
You are drifting [Gm] away
