Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Aadd11 (x02100) X 8
Too  long  on the road,  my friend
Too  long between rides
Too  long  between homes  again
 Too lo-ong  without someone by my side
 And Lord,  there's something 'bout a sad song
that  helps to ease the pain...
Here  I am, Lord, just singing up a storm
 and I'm all alone  again...
 A Aadd11 (x02100) X 2
Too  much  going down  today
just  can't take it in
Too  much  running 'round  today
can't  tell you where I've been
Seems  that just like singing in the only thing to do
only  thing to help me pass the time
Songs  are just like ladies--can't forget them when you're  through
 and they're always  on your mind...
 And the rosewood  bitters
 Help me meet the sunshine in the morning
 And the rosewood  bitters
 Help me through the night When I feel blue
 1st Verse w/leads then intro X2
Too  few stop  to pass  the time
Guess  that's how it goes
So sure  that there's much more than  this
when  really no one knows
And  easing into midnight
 as the bitters  pass around
crying  in my beer
Singing  someone else's troubles helps to ease your  own
Goodnight, Irene,  my dear...
 CHORUS X 2
