How long

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


C# F# C# 
C# 
Like a blue bird with his heart removed
F# 
lonely as a train
C# F# C# Ab C# 
I’ve run just as far as I can run
C# 
If I never see the good old days
F# 
shinin’ in the sun
C# Ab C# 
I’ll be doin’ fine and then some
           Bbm Ab F# C# Ab 
            How long, how long - woman will you weep
           Bbm Ab F# C# Ab C# 
            How long, how long - rock yourself to sleep
C# 
Well I been doin’ time in a lonesome prison
F# 
where the sun don’t shine
C# Ab 
Just outside the freedom river runs
C# 
Out there in that shiny night
F# 
with blood hounds on your mind
C# Ab C# 
Don’t you know it’s the same sad situation?
           Bbm Ab F# C# Ab 
            How long, how long - woman will you weep
           Bbm Ab F# C# Ab C# 
            How long, how long - rock yourself to sleep
Sóló
C# F# C# Ab 
C# C#7 
Everybody feels alright you know
F# C# 
heard some poor fool say (Somebody Oooooh)
Ab 
Everyone is out there on the loose
C# 
Well I wish I lived in the land of fools
F# 
no one knew my name
C# Ab C# 
But what you get is not quite what you choose
           Bbm Ab F# C# Ab 
            Tell me, how long, how long - woman will you weep
           Bbm Ab F# C# Ab C# 
            How long, how long - rock yourself to sleep
           Bbm Ab F# C# 
            How long, how long
           Bbm Eb Ab 
            muddy river runs so deep
           Bbm Ab F# C# 
            How long, how long
           Ab C# 
            Good night baby, rock yourself to sleep
           Ab C# 
            Sleep tight baby, rock yourself to sleep
           Ab F# C# C#7 
            b-b-b bye bye baby, rock yourself to sleep
