Ride the blue wind high and free
                                 
she'll lead you down through misery
                           
leave you low, come time to go
                     
alone and low as low can be


                            
If I had a nickel I'd find a game
                             
If I won a dollar I'd make it rain
                                  
If it rained an ocean I'd drink it dry
                     
and lay me down dissatisfied


[D4 D D4... just do sthg, with some G too]
                           
Legs to walk and thoughts to fly
                         
eyes to laugh and lips to cry
                          
a restless tongue to classify
                          
all born to grow and grown to die

[  , 'gain... ]
                        
So tell my baby I said so long
                       
tell my mother I did no wrong
                            
tell my brother to watch his own
                            
and tell my friends to mourn me none

[  ...]
                           
I'm chained upon the face of time
                       
feelin' full of foolish rhyme
                                  
there ain't no dark till something shines
                            
I'm bound to leave this dark behind

                          
Ride the blue wind high and free
                               
she'll lead you down through misery
                           
leave you low, come time to go
                     
alone and low as low can be

one of the truest songs on earth, thank you tvz.
