[Intro]
C F C F C G
 
[Verse]
C                                        F
Like a blue bird with his heart removed, lonely as a train
C        F      C        G      C
I've run just as far as I can run
C                                F
If I never see the good old days shinin' in the sun
C              G                C
I'll be doin' fine and then some
 
[Chorus]
Am  G     F   C
How long, how long
                G
Woman will you weep
Am  G     F   C
How long, how long
G                    C
Rock yourself to sleep
 
[Verse]
C                                          F
Well I been doin' time in lonesome prison, where the sun don't shine
C                                  G
Just outside, the freedom river runs
C                              F
Out there in that shiny night, with blood hounds on your mind
C                       G             C
Don't you know it's the same sad situation?
 
[Chorus]
Am  G     F   C
How long, how long
                G
Woman will you weep
Am  G     F   C
How long, how long
G                    C
Rock yourself to sleep

Everybody feels alright you know, I heard some poor fool say (Somebody Ooooo)
C                                G
Everyone is out there on the loose
C                                         F
Well I wish I lived in the land of fools, no one knew my name
C                   G                   C
But what you get is not quite what you choose

Tell me, how long, how long
                 G
Woman will you weep

Rock yourself to sleep

How long, how long (long and drawn out)
Am     D             G
Muddy River runs so deep
Am  G     F   C
How long, how long (long and drawn out)
C                 G
Good night baby, rock yourself to sleep,
