A
[Verse 1]
A
The cats are sleeping here in the autumn sun
A
Your dog has flushed a deer and he's on the run
Bm
And the coffee cup is cold
A
And the morning's feeling very old
[Verse 2]
A
Fifteen months of time my man's been gone
A
The second winter now is coming on
Bm7
And our fates could all be worse
A
But sometimes I still must curse my own
[Chorus]
F
And hello
A
I wish you well
F
Where you sleep
A E
All in your cell
[Verse 3]
A
As for friends I can't complain, they've been good to me
A
The fire's burning bright, they've left wood for me
Bm
And the roof has been repaired
A
And I thank them for the love they've shared
[Verse 4]
A
You see, there's really nothing wrong, I've just got the blues
A
Because if you give a damn you're going to pay some dues
Bm
But if you see the game we're in
A
Like I do, you know in time we'll win
[Chorus]
F
And hello
A
I wish you well
F
Where you sleep
A E E7
All in your cell
[Verse 5]
A
So time give me a break of a week or more
A
My head is reeling and my back is sore
Bm
And the baby cries for me
A
And I think I'll walk by the sea alone
