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 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 Bb 
I’ll be doin’ fine and then some
           Gm Eb Bb 
            How long, how long - woman will you weep
           Gm Eb Bb 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 
Just outside the freedom river runs
Bb 
Out there in that shiny night
Eb 
with blood hounds on your mind
Bb Bb 
Don’t you know it’s the same sad situation?
           Gm Eb Bb 
            How long, how long - woman will you weep
           Gm Eb Bb Bb 
            How long, how long - rock yourself to sleep
Sóló
Bb Eb Bb 
Bb Bb7 
Everybody feels alright you know
Eb Bb 
heard some poor fool say (Somebody Oooooh)
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 Bb 
But what you get is not quite what you choose
           Gm Eb Bb 
            Tell me, how long, how long - woman will you weep
           Gm Eb Bb Bb 
            How long, how long - rock yourself to sleep
           Gm Eb Bb 
            How long, how long
           Gm 
            muddy river runs so deep
           Gm Eb Bb 
            How long, how long
           Bb 
            Good night baby, rock yourself to sleep
           Bb 
            Sleep tight baby, rock yourself to sleep
           Eb Bb Bb7 
            b-b-b bye bye baby, rock yourself to sleep
