Verse 1
I (A minor) got a friend with a habit, (D minor)
a (A minor) habit of a runnin' away (D minor)
He (E minor) says he can't take it,
he (A minor) takes it everyday
He takes it like a hun (D minor) ger
The (A minor) lonely man he is (D minor)
Inside (E minor) his need of soul I see
Burn (A minor) ing with a will to live
Come on, John, (D minor) yeah
Come (A minor) on, John, it's life (D minor) -taking
Too (E minor) long now,
you've been staring at the moon
Reflec (A minor) ted (E minor) in the liquid,
dripping in your spoon
I (A minor) know you're alive (E minor) and right up a room
Come (A minor) on, (D minor) John
(A minor) Come on, come on (D minor) (E minor) (E major) (D major) (A minor)
This woman left him cry (D minor) in'
She (A minor) could nev (D minor) er please
She (E minor) could not get past his arm
He (A minor) couldn't get on his knees
Now me, I see a fu (D minor) ture
Could (A minor) be clear an (D minor) d free
I (E minor) know there is a spirit there,
I (A minor) know so does he
Come on John and make (D minor) it,
come (A minor) on John it's life (D minor) to me
Too (E minor) tired of self -review,
it's not easy when you're confused
I know you're alive,
I've seen you light up a room
Come (A minor) on, come on, come (D minor) on on,
(A minor) come on (D minor) (E minor) (D minor) (A minor)
I've got a friend with a habit (D minor)
Habit (A minor) of running away (D minor)
He (A minor) (E minor) says he can't take it,
but he takes (A minor) it if he can. (D minor) (A minor) (D minor)
(E minor) (A minor) (D minor) (A minor) (D minor)
(E minor) (A minor)
All right, David Bluehead, the (A minor) control then.
(C major) And we're gonna get ready
to wrap this up
and put it (A minor) to bed.
so for those of you who go
(D minor) to the (E minor) second halls
now's the time
I'm not pretend (D minor) ing to prescribe
or encourage anything
but you know if you if your doctor
feels that's what you should do
and it's time to go to bed
it's getting close to that time
and we're gonna close it up
with Chris Christopherson
and his band and Rita Coolidge and (A minor) I
know Chris knows a lot more songs
we might be here till morning
yet people record plant
have been doing fantastically
Tom fly John all right
let's have a hand for the
men at the controls
all (F sharp minor) they got to do
is get the remote truck
ready to go to Texas and
record Alice Cooper
hey how's for a bummer.
I ain't sure it'll work. All of it.
Okay, if you're there,
Mr. (E minor) Christopherson,
won't you please?
I know she picked us to do (E minor) the sleeping music.
