Standard (EADGBE)

I cry tears of emotion

to spread across the USA.

Ain't no sunshine, cowboy, in your pockets.

 I'll make my own way,

while I play.

Baby, you forgot you're living.

 Someone covered up your eyes.

In my way at least I'm giving

what I love, am I wise?

 There's gonna be some confusion.

 And there's gonna be a day

you'll raise your eyes

 and you'll look to the skies

 and you'll pray,

 while I play.

I am my father's son

 or that is what I heard.

Maybe I got it wrong.

I didn't mean a word.

You got my face

 and I'll play your ace,

pretend I haven't heard.

 There's gonna be some confusion.

 And there's gonna be a day

you'll raise your eyes

 and you'll look to the skies

 and you'll pray,

 while I play.

I am a minstrel, that is all I want to be.

I'll play inside your soul,

I'll show you to yourself,

I'll fill your head with wild emotions,

 a symphony in wealth.

 There's gonna be some confusion.

 And there's gonna be a day

you'll raise your eyes

 and you'll look to the skies

 and you'll pray,

 while I play.

I will take my leave, I gotta move on time.

I played inside your soul,

I made you sing along.

I will return to find out

if the melody was wrong.

 There's gonna be some confusion.

 And there's gonna be a day

you'll raise your eyes

 and you'll look to the skies

 and you'll pray,

 while I play.
