Verse 1:
Em
I've gone down the river of sadness
                            D
I've gone down the river of pain
       Em
In the dark, under the wires
  G                 Em    G  Em
I hear them call my name


Verse 2:
Em
I gave you the key to the highway
                        D
And the key to my motel door
        Em
And I'm tired of leaving and leaving
  G                  Em   G  Em
I can't come back no more

Verse 3:
Em
Oh, my dark-eyed friend
                  D
I'm recalling you again
     Em
Soft voices that speak nothing
      G              Em   G Em
Speak nothing to the end

Verse 4:
Em
Oh, Mother of Earth the blind they call
                          D
But, yet stay behind the wall
       Em
Their sadness grows like weeds
  G                  Em   G Em
Upon my thighs and knees


Verse 5:
Em
Oh, Mother of Earth the wind is hot
                             D
I tried my best, but I could not
       Em
And my eyes fade from me
        G         Em  G Em
In this open country
