Intro  E  A  E   E Esus4

    E                  A          E  Esus4  E
Old man on the corner, singing my life
                                    A         E  Esus4 E
And he's playing that guitar with a rusty old knife
                                             A
And every line that he sings rhymes with the truth
        E          B                    A
And the promise of something beyond the blues
           E
Beyond the blues

E                          A        E  Esus4 E
Me and my darling took the long way around
                                        A            E  Esus4 E
Through the wide open countries and the heart attack towns
                                                 A
To every fork in the road where we've all got to choose
        E            B                 A
Between darkness and light, beyond the blues

           E                 A                   E  Esus4 E
Beyond the blues, beyond the shadows, beyond the rain
           B                    E
Beyond the darkness and all the pain
                       A                           E  Esus4 E
When you're walking in circles, with holes in your shoes
            B                              A
Love is the road that leads out beyond the blues
           E
Beyond the blues

Solo

E                         A             E  Esus4 E
Old man on the corner has been gone for years
                                  A     E  Esus4 E
And that guitar in the night bled rusty tears
                                               A
But there's a song that he left us we'll never lose
     E           B                          A
That love is the road that leads beyond the blues
           E
Beyond the blues

           E                 A                   E
Beyond the blues, beyond the shadows, beyond the rain
           B                    E
Beyond the darkness and all the pain
                       A                           E
When you're walking in circles, with holes in your shoes
            B                              A
Love is the road that leads out beyond the blues
           E
Beyond the blues
            B                              A
Love is the road that leads out beyond the blues
