Standard (EADGBE)

 Listen to the sound of the night bird singin'

 I wonder who he calls

 My fingers hurt so bad it's got me grinnin'

 And I wonder can I do it all

 Hit a stretch of rapids in the rushing ragin' river

 Looking out for boulders and falls

 A woman she watches from the top of the canyon

 Hopin' we don't drown us all

Chorus

 Help me now, I got to slow down

 Hear my singin' call

Hurt myself bad on a run through the desert

Threw a shoe and took a bad fall

Long for the peace that the ancients bring me

Murmur of the lowlands shut my jaw

Chorus

Everyone knows there's a price for the askin'

Some people buy themselves a doll

Help me sweet Jesus

I'm weary from the journey

I need to tell my brothers what I saw

Chorus

NOTE: On the picking pattern, any given second string note can be

Listen to the record closely to hear this- the first string note is

relatively easy to pick out.
