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
