C  
Just Like a blue bird with his heart removed

Lonely as a train

I’ve run just as far as I can run  
C                                F  
If  I ever see the good old days shining in the sun

I’ll be doin’ fine and then some

F  
Where the sun don’t shine

Out there in that shining night   
F  
With bloodhounds on your mind  
C                     G               C

No one knew my name
