How long

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


Bb 
Like a blue bird with his heart removed
Bb 
lonely as a train
Bb 
I’ve run just as far as I can run
If I never see the good old days
Bb 
shinin’ in the sun
I’ll be doin’ fine and then some
           Dm Bb 
            How long, how long - woman will you weep
           Dm Bb 
            How long, how long - rock yourself to sleep
Well I been doin’ time in a lonesome prison
Bb 
where the sun don’t shine
Just outside the freedom river runs
Out there in that shiny night
Bb 
with blood hounds on your mind
Don’t you know it’s the same sad situation?
           Dm Bb 
            How long, how long - woman will you weep
           Dm Bb 
            How long, how long - rock yourself to sleep
Sóló
Bb 
F7 
Everybody feels alright you know
Bb 
heard some poor fool say (Somebody Oooooh)
Everyone is out there on the loose
Well I wish I lived in the land of fools
Bb 
no one knew my name
But what you get is not quite what you choose
           Dm Bb 
            Tell me, how long, how long - woman will you weep
           Dm Bb 
            How long, how long - rock yourself to sleep
           Dm Bb 
            How long, how long
           Dm 
            muddy river runs so deep
           Dm Bb 
            How long, how long
           
            Good night baby, rock yourself to sleep
           
            Sleep tight baby, rock yourself to sleep
           Bb F7 
            b-b-b bye bye baby, rock yourself to sleep
