Capo 8



You can vary the bass notes during the picking/strumming of the chords.
Usually the five  (D/A,  C/G), but he uses some others as well, almost like a walking bass sometimes.


Verse:
D                     C
Exiled on the road tonight
  D         C
Am I, oh am I
D                             C
Just like a child of the easy lights
D          C
Am I, oh am I

   D                       C
Oh play the saxophone very sweetly
  D         C
Do I, ah do I
   D                       C
No I'm not afraid of no darkness
   D       Am7
Oh am I, am I


Chorus:
    D            G
And seven bold colors
C          D
All in the rain
   D             G
Oh showed me life
           C               D
But it was very much in vain
   D             G
Oh after the colors
C          D
Made me cry
     D            G
And showed the way
         Am7          C
With the rainbow sides

|D         |Am7          |x4

   D                         C
Oh in a procession of golden green
    D             C
put it in the leevee
   D                     C
Oh there's a darkness at hand
      D     C
oh Am I, am I
   D                           C
Am I to blame for the dark fire

Am I, yea am I
