SPEED OF THE SOUND OF LONELINESS (John Prine)
---------------------------------------------
[Nanci Griffith's version is actually in C, with
a capo on the 5th fret.]
[Each chord is one 2/2 measure]
F[intFro] F F G G F F
F You come home lFate and you come home eaFrly F
G You come on bGig when you're feeling smFall F
F You come home strFaight and you come home cuFrly F
G Sometimes you dGon't come home at aFll F
F So what in the wForld's come Fover you F
G And what in Gheaven's name hFave I done F
F You've broken the spFeed of the sound of lFoneliness F
G You're out there Grunning just to be on the Frun F
Well I got a heart that burns with a fever
And I got a worried and a jealous mind
How can a love that'll last forever
Get left so far behind
So what in the world's come over you
And what in heaven's name have I done
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You're out there running just to be on the run
[Instrumental, same chords as one verse]
It's a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow
It's crossed the evil line today (?)
How can you ask about tomorrow
When we ain't got one word to say
So what in the world's come over you
And what in heaven's name have I done
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You're out there running just to be on the run
So what in the world's come over you
And what in heaven's name have I done
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You're out there running just to be on the run
You're out there running just to be on the run
G G F F G F.
You're out there running just to be on the run
