Verse 1
(G major) Black bass and a white light
all covered in (C major) blue
Now she (G major) trips out on her cocaine
cause there's noth (D major) ing to (C major) do
Since (G major) his man and his glam
were they (D major) up and shot (C major) through
You (G major) lose most your love
and win only (D major) a (C major) few (D major)
(G major) Time, Lord, it drag (D major) s heavy on (C major) me
Sad (G major) evenings alone
and my (D major) thoughts are on (C major) sea
Fears (G major) are down here,
you (D major) seldom can (C major) see
You (G major) have an idea of what (D major) lonely can (C major) be (D major)
His de (G major) light at the sight of a (D major) worn apple skin
(C major) Goes with his (G major) hat in his hand
to the (D major) next rubbish bin (C major)
Con (G major) soled by the loan
that the (D major) bottle will bring (C major)
Means as (G major) much to his bid
as a (D major) throne to a (C major) king (D major)
Yes, there's a (G major) time, Lord,
that's (D major) heavy on (C major) me
Sad (G major) evenings are long
when (D major) my thoughts are on (C major) the sheet
And I fear (G major) that down here
you sel (D major) dom can see (C major)
Do you (G major) have an idea
what lonely (D major) can be? (C major) (G major) (D major) (C major)
(G major) (D major) (C major) (G major) (D major) (C major)
(G major) (D major) (C major)
See (G major) with his eagle
on (D major) his own shadow (C major) fall
Or a (G major) caged man with his bare hands
run (D major) through a brick wall (C major)
For (G major) forty -five years (D major) his life he had (C major) shored
And he (G major) wakes up one morning
to (D major) find his life (C major) gone (D major)
(G major) Time, Lord, it drags (D major) heavy on me
(C major) Sad (G major) evenings alone
with my (D major) thoughts around you (C major)
And I feel (G major) it down here
you (D major) seldom can see (C major)
Do you (G major) have an idea
of what (D major) lonely can (C major) be? (D major)
Frankie's (G major) Vietnam was (D major) spent dodging lead
(C major) But eventually (G major) the enemy
blew (D major) off his (C major) head
His (G major) weight was a feather
as they (D major) carried him (C major) in
Only half (G major) of a friend sent
(D major) home in a (C major) tin (D major) (G major)
Time, Lord, attracts (D major) heavy on me (C major)
Sad (G major) evenings alone
when my thought (D major) s are on she
(C major) And I (G major) fear that down here
you sel (D major) dom can (C major) see
Do you (G major) have an idea
what (D major) loneliness can mean?
