^AmWell I felt like I was b^Corn today ^AmSo I took it upon me to ^Cgo away ^AmTo gather my thoughts an^Cd go away To where ^BbI could be used by someb^Amody

^AmOver the hill like al^Cways you know ^AmWere Billy and Frankie and ^CHenry and Joe ^AmAnd they beat and broke me h^Card and slow To p^Bbrove I was no^Ambody

^AmAnd no one I was and s^Go remained ^AmKnocked out in a hut, no^G mother, no name ^AmAnd filled up my heart with ^Gone and the same ^AmThat grand dark f^Geeling of e^Ammptiness

^AmAnd was it a friend that ^Cturned me loose? ^AmOr was it a girl come to ^Cbaste my goose? ^AmOr was it my great God who ^Claid on his finger And s^Bbtarted my clock ^Amanew?

^AmAh no, it was rain, a^Gh no, it was gunning It was^Am point break and buckle and s^Ginging and cunning That ^Amskinned me, re-skinned me and ^Gstarted me running And I n^Amever looked ^Gback from then ^Amon

^AmAnd now I'm learning bit by bit ^G'Bout the make and model shit ^FMuddy bowl, I live in it ^EmAnd all the mucks that t^Amire us ^AmAnd I'm afeared if I don't have ^GA piglet, lamb, or little calf ^FI'll chop my humanness in half ^EmAnd be as worm or vi^Amrus

^AmBut kids I've had, and they are sung ^GUpon folks' ears my babes are hung ^FAnd rhythmically they live among ^EmAnd grow but don't get ^Amold ^AmNot in a box, not in a void ^GNot if their voice is never heard ^FNor if no-one repeats a word ^EmBut if their tune is t^Amold, then...

^CWe can age and fa^Gll away ^CAnd meet again some g^Golden day ^AmAnd fill it in our ha^Fppy way ^AmIn starlight^G and in ^Amgold
