I might just change my mind
Sometimes you can never tell
Where a story will unwind
How deep is the shallow ground After each Em following a G you
always do the open, 2nd, 3rd on
on the string.
Sometimes you would never guess
Who's all talk and who just might
Find a way or lose themselves
On the king's highway tonight
I am just like many more
Who lie in bed, still and numb
Waking up and I can see
Just how dark it has become
Who knows no better angels now
Who knows none but earthly light
Who is waiting for a stranger
On the king's highway tonight
And so on, not 100% to me but it sounds good.
