Verse 1:
 A                                            Bm      
A bunch of lonesome and very quarrelsome heroes

 E                   E7                A     Asus4       A   Asus2       A   Asus2       A   
Were smoking out along the open road;                       

 A                                      Bm          Bm/A      Bm    Bm/A      Bm    
The night was very dark and thick between them,              

 E             E7                    A     Asus4       A   Asus2       A   
Each man beneath his ordinary load.               


Chorus:
 D                       A       A/G#   
"I'd like to tell my story, "

 B                                E      E7    
Said one of them so young and bold,   

 D                       A       A/G#      
"I'd like to tell my story,

F#m                     E       E7    
Before I turn into gold."   


Verse 2:
 A                          Bm         Bm/A      Bm    Bm/A      Bm    
But no one really could hear him,               

 E              E7                     A     Asus4       A   Asus2       A   Asus2       A   
The night so dark and thick and green;                      

 A                                             Bm         Bm/A      Bm    Bm/A      Bm    
Well I guess that these heroes must always live there              

 E                E7             A     Asus4       A   Asus2       A   Asus2       A   
Where you and I have only been.                       


Chorus:
 D                         A         A/G#  
Put out your cigarette, my love,

 B                        E      E7    
You've been alone too long;   

 D                           A         A/G#  
And some of us are very hungry now

    F#m                                          E   Esus4       E   E7    
To hear what it is you've done that was so wrong.       


Verse 3:
 A                       Bm       Bm/A      Bm    Bm/A      Bm    
I sing this for the crickets,              

 E            E7           A      Asus4       A   Asus2       A   Asus2       A   
I sing this for the army,                        

 A                       Bm         Bm/A      Bm    Bm/A      Bm    
I sing this for your children                

 E            E7                  A    Asus4       A   Asus2       A   Asus2       A   
And for all who do not need me.                       


Chorus:
   D                      A         A/G#      
"I'd like to tell my story, "      

 B                       E    E7  
Said one of them so bold,

  D                               A     A/G#      
"Oh yes, I'd like to tell my story     

   F#m                                        E       E7    
'Cause you know I feel I'm turning into gold."
