Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 Old man on the corner, singing my life

 He's playing guitar with a rusty old knife

 Each line that he sings rhymes with the truth

 And the promise of something beyond the blues

You and me darling took the long way around

 Across the wide open country, past the heart attack town

 Hit the fork in the road where we all have to choose

 Between darkness and light, beyond the blues

 Beyond the shadows, and the rain

 Beyond the darkness, beyond the pain

 You know in your heart there's no way I push through

 Take a walk with me darling

 Beyond the blues

Solo

That old man on the corner he's been gone for years

 His guitar and knife all rusted with tears

 There's a song that he gave us that we'll never have to lose

 About another life waiting beyond the blues

 Beyond the shadows, and the rain

 Beyond the darkness, beyond the pain

 You know in your heart there's no way I push through

 Take a walk with me darling

 Beyond the blues

 Take a walk with me darling

 Beyond the blues
