How long

Song composer: J.D. Souther
Lyrics author: J.D. Souther


Ab C# Ab 
Ab 
Like a blue bird with his heart removed
C# 
lonely as a train
Ab C# Ab Eb Ab 
I’ve run just as far as I can run
Ab 
If I never see the good old days
C# 
shinin’ in the sun
Ab Eb Ab 
I’ll be doin’ fine and then some
           Fm Eb C# Ab Eb 
            How long, how long - woman will you weep
           Fm Eb C# Ab Eb Ab 
            How long, how long - rock yourself to sleep
Ab 
Well I been doin’ time in a lonesome prison
C# 
where the sun don’t shine
Ab Eb 
Just outside the freedom river runs
Ab 
Out there in that shiny night
C# 
with blood hounds on your mind
Ab Eb Ab 
Don’t you know it’s the same sad situation?
           Fm Eb C# Ab Eb 
            How long, how long - woman will you weep
           Fm Eb C# Ab Eb Ab 
            How long, how long - rock yourself to sleep
Sóló
Ab C# Ab Eb 
Ab Ab7 
Everybody feels alright you know
C# Ab 
heard some poor fool say (Somebody Oooooh)
Eb 
Everyone is out there on the loose
Ab 
Well I wish I lived in the land of fools
C# 
no one knew my name
Ab Eb Ab 
But what you get is not quite what you choose
           Fm Eb C# Ab Eb 
            Tell me, how long, how long - woman will you weep
           Fm Eb C# Ab Eb Ab 
            How long, how long - rock yourself to sleep
           Fm Eb C# Ab 
            How long, how long
           Fm Bb Eb 
            muddy river runs so deep
           Fm Eb C# Ab 
            How long, how long
           Eb Ab 
            Good night baby, rock yourself to sleep
           Eb Ab 
            Sleep tight baby, rock yourself to sleep
           Eb C# Ab Ab7 
            b-b-b bye bye baby, rock yourself to sleep
