 A        D
Hey Bruce,
E          A   D

Open up a bottle of
 E             A    D
Whatever you choose
 E           A         D
You see the naked truth
           E         A    D
It's only truth sometimes
E              A               D

That's what you gonna find-i-ind

Follow my heart wherever it takes me

Like a piece of driftwood, woh

     A
You win some, you lose some
     D             E               A    D        E

You get some, you give some
      D             E             A              D  E
You trade a little piece of your youth of your youth
     A                      D       E           A
But nothing makes me happier  than singing the blues
         D  E
Woh woh woh no
        A           D        E             A   D E
Set my big brown hat to my black pointed shoes

Follow my heart wherever it takes me

Let it float on by like a piece of driftwood
    D       E        A

A
  Ain't no mind through the troubles on the telephone lines

They can't take away your soul but they can take all your pride
