I still remember Miss Bessie singing 
                                       D 
Black, wrinkled fingers on ivory keys 
C                                         D 
Just five years old, my church shoes a-dangling 
C                                   G                C 
Yeah, she's long gone and I'm still chasing this song 

      G        D                    G              D 
With a guitar full of freedom and a head full of lines 
      G                D                 Em         D 
That nightlife full of demons has been a hell of a ride 
D              G               Cadd9        G 
I got a crazy heart, but I was born to lose it 
D             G            Em             D   
 Married to a dream with a mistress named music 
C 
No hope and squarely solitary 

                                               D  
Enough whiskey and Coke, boys, to get me in a bind 
C                                               D 
Amps juiced, the whole damn block could hear me 
                          C 
Even that cop car rolling past 
                          G 
By the time they hit the front door 
               D 
I was out the back 

      G        D                    G              D 
With a guitar full of freedom and a head full of lines 
      G                D                 Em         D 
That nightlife full of demons has been a hell of a ride 
D              G               Cadd9        G

D             G            Em             D

C 
White calloused fingers on bronze and nylon 
C                                       D 
These same old boots are still tapping time 
C                              D 
Not quite the buzz I used to tie on 
             C               G    
But 'til I'm gone, I'll be chasing this song 

      G        D                    G              D 
With a guitar full of freedom and a head full of lines 
      G                D                 Em         D
