Black bass and a white light
D
all covered in blue
A
Now she trips out on her cocaine
E
D
cause there's noth ing to do
A
Since his man and his glam
E

were they up and shot through
A
You lose most your love
E

and win only a few

A
E
His de light at the sight of a worn apple skin
D
A
Goes with his hat in his hand
E
D
to the next rubbish bin
A
Con soled by the loan
E
D
that the bottle will bring
A
Means as much to his bid
E
D
E
as a throne to a king
A
Yes, there's a time, Lord,
E

that's heavy on me
A
Sad evenings are long
E

when my thoughts are on the sheet
A
And I fear that down here

See with his eagle
E

on his own shadow fall

Or a caged man with his bare hands
E

run through a brick wall
A

For forty -five years his life he had shored
A
And he wakes up one morning
E
D
E
to find his life gone
A

you seldom can see

Frankie's Vietnam was spent dodging lead
D
A
But eventually the enemy
E
D
blew off his head
A
His weight was a feather
E
D
as they carried him in
A
Only half of a friend sent
E
D
E
A
home in a tin
E
D
Time, Lord, attracts heavy on me
A
Sad evenings alone
E
when my thought s are on she
D
A
And I fear that down here
E
D
you sel dom can see
A
Do you have an idea
E
what loneliness can mean?
