A D G G
(x4)

[Verse]
A D A
As the moon goes fading
A D A
He lies awake waiting
D A
For a break in the night
G D
When he makes his lonely flight

[Verse]
A D A
And it’s the same old story
A D A
Somebody bound for glory
D G
And somewhere in my life
D A D G
I swear it had to belong
A D G

[Verse]
A D A
Been countin’ the stars
D G A
As they come on through the bars
D G
And I’ve been heard singing
D A
A sad man’s song

[Chorus]
A D A
It’s time for busting out of this jail
D G A
Get me a gun, no time for bail
D
And I’ve been here
G D A D G
Too many nights too long
A D E

[Bridge]
A F#m A
And now I wonder if they’ll find me tonight
A F#m
I’ve been sleepin’ in the day
A D G E
Runnin’ below the pale moonlight

[Verse]
A D A
Hidin’ in a canebrake
A D G A
From a man I can’t seem to shake
D
And in my head
G D A
I’m hearing a southern song

[Chorus]
A D A
Mississippi roll on in my brain
D
Keep me sheltered
G A
In the summer rain
D
I could never stay here
G D A D G
Too many nights too long
A D G
A D G
A D E

[Bridge]
A F#m A
And now I wonder if they’ll find me tonight
A F#m
I’ve been sleepin’ in the day
A D G E
Runnin’ below the pale moonlight

[Verse]
A D A
Escondido en un cañaveral
D G A
De un hombre que no puedo ver
D G
Y el hombre, escondido
D A
De dónde será

[Chorus]
A D A
Mississippi roll on in my brain
D
Keep me sheltered
G A
In the summer rain
A D
I could never stay here
G D A
Too many nights too long
A D
I could never stay here
G D A D G
Too many nights too long

[Outro]
A D G
(repeat)
