Am G Am
N.C.
I want to believe in myself once again
So I dream of a man whose hopes never end
To kiss with a girl who's as lovely as you
I'd give you my heart, if you gave me the truth
[Verse 1]
C G
And for every tear that is lost from an eye
E Am
I'd dig me a well where no man could destroy
C G
I want to believe in a freedom that's bold
E
But all I remember is the freedom of old
[Chorus 1]
Am C G Am
Well I lost me a wife, so I found me a plane
G Am
Flew all the way to California
Am C G Am
This mess in my head is a mess getting out
G Am
Ya drink too much coffee, I drink too much stout
[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)
But after a while, when my mouth's not so dry
I'll dance up a storm, sure life's looking fine
But as darkness falls, I return to my bed
Don't ask me more questions, don't fuck with my head
[Chorus 2]
Am C G Am
I've been down in this world, down and almost broken
Am C G Am
Like thousands of people, left standing in their shoe
Am C G Am
I've been down in this world, down and almost broken
Am G Am
As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule
[Solo]
(mess around on Am)
N.C.
The buildings they shake but my heart it beats still
Oh mother of Jesus, I feel pretty ill
I want to go home where my feet both feel safe
But there ain't no jobs in the old free state
[Verse 3]
(same as verse 1)
So I must remain in my new adopted land
I'm doing the best, Hell I'm doin' all I can
So next time you see me, don't ask for my name
E
For I am the King and sure long may I reign
