How long

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


Bb Eb Bb 
Bb 
Like a blue bird with his heart removed
Eb 
lonely as a train
Bb Eb Bb F Bb 
I’ve run just as far as I can run
Bb 
If I never see the good old days
Eb 
shinin’ in the sun
Bb F Bb 
I’ll be doin’ fine and then some
           Gm F Eb Bb F 
            How long, how long - woman will you weep
           Gm F Eb Bb F Bb 
            How long, how long - rock yourself to sleep
Bb 
Well I been doin’ time in a lonesome prison
Eb 
where the sun don’t shine
Bb F 
Just outside the freedom river runs
Bb 
Out there in that shiny night
Eb 
with blood hounds on your mind
Bb F Bb 
Don’t you know it’s the same sad situation?
           Gm F Eb Bb F 
            How long, how long - woman will you weep
           Gm F Eb Bb F Bb 
            How long, how long - rock yourself to sleep
Sóló
Bb Eb Bb F 
Bb Bb7 
Everybody feels alright you know
Eb Bb 
I heard some poor fool say (Somebody Oooooh)
F 
Everyone is out there on the loose
Bb 
Well I wish I lived in the land of fools
Eb 
no one knew my name
Bb F Bb 
But what you get is not quite what you choose
           Gm F Eb Bb F 
            Tell me, how long, how long - woman will you weep
           Gm F Eb Bb F Bb 
            How long, how long - rock yourself to sleep
           Gm F Eb Bb 
            How long, how long
           Gm C F 
            muddy river runs so deep
           Gm F Eb Bb 
            How long, how long
           F Bb 
            Good night baby, rock yourself to sleep
           F Bb 
            Sleep tight baby, rock yourself to sleep
           F Eb Bb Bb7 
            b-b-b bye bye baby, rock yourself to sleep
