Capo on 3

[Am]I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my [C]mind
There was something so pleasant about that [F]place.
Even your emotions had an echo, in so much [E]space

[Am]And when you're out there, without care,
Yeah, I was out of [C]touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know e[F]nough
I just knew too [E]much

Does that make me [Am]crazy?
Does that make me [C]crazy?
Does that make me [F]crazy?
Probab[E]ly…

[A]And I hope that you are having the time of your [F]life
But think [C]twice, that's my only ad[E]vice
Come on now, who do [Am]you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you [C]are,
Ha ha ha bless your [F]soul
You really think you're in con[E]trol

Well, I think you're [Am]crazy!
I think you're [C]crazy!
I think you're [F]crazy, Just like [E]me…

[A]My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a [F]limb
And all I re[C]member is thinking, I want to be like [E]them
[Am]Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like [C]fun
And it's no coincidence I've [F]come, And I can die when I'm [E]done

Maybe I'm [Am]crazy
Maybe you're [C]crazy
Maybe we're [F]crazy
Probab[E]ly…

But what was [Am]normal in the [C]evening by the [Am]morning [D]seems in[G]sane

And i'm [C]not sure what the trouble was that [G]started all of this
The [C]reasons all have run away but the [G]feeling never [A7]did
It's not [C]something i would [Em]recommend but it [G]is one way to [C]live
Cause what is [Am]simple in the [C]moonlight by the [Am]morning [D]never [G]is
Yeah it was [Am]simple in the [C]moonlight now it's [Am]so complica[Em]ted
It was so [Am]simple in the [C]moonlight, so [Am]simple in the [C]moonlight, so [Am]simple in the [C]moonlight... [G]

How did Mandela get the will to sur[pass the everyday
when injustice had him caged and trapped in every way?
How did Gandhi ever withstand the hunger strikes at all?
Didn't do it to gain power or money if I recall.
It's the gift, I guess I'll pass it on, mother thinks it'll lift the stress of Babylon
my mother knows, my mother she suffered blows
I don't know how we survived such violent episodes
I was so worried, it hurt to see you bleed,
but as soons as you came out the hospital you gave me sweets yea,
they tried to take you from me, but you still only gave 'em some prayers and
sympathy.
Dear Mama, you helped me write this
by showing me to give is priceless

Comin' out of Muqdisho and still draped in the mess
And no matter how we strong homie
It ain't easy comin' out of where we from homie
and it's the reason why I can never play phony
"Tell 'em the truth" is what my dead homies told me, ooh yeah
I take inspiration from the most heinous of situations
Creatin' medication out my own tribulations
Dear Africa, you helped me write this
by showin' me to give is pricless

I backed my car into a cop car, the other day.
Well he just drove off, sometimes life's ok.
I ran my mouth off a bit too much, oh what did I say.
Well you just laughed it off, it was all ok.

And we'll all float on, ok.
And we'll all float on, ok.
And we'll all float on, ok.
And we'll all float on any way, well.

A fake Jamaican took every last dime with a scam.
It was worth it just to learn some sleight-of-hand.
Bad news comes don't you worry even when it lands.
Good news will work its way to all them plans.
We both got fired on exactly the same day.
Well we'll float on good news is on the way.

And we'll all float on, ok...

When the [C]warden with his [G]key came to [D]set me free
They [Am]gave me five dollars and a [Em]secondhand suit
A [C]pistol and a [G]hat and a [D]worn out flute

So I [Am]took a bus down to the [Em]Rio Grande
And I [C]shot a man [G]down on the [D]edge of town
Then I [Am]stole me a horse and I [Em]rode it around
Til the [C]sheriff pulled me [G]in and he [D]sat me down

He said, [Am]you make no mistake I know just [Em]what it takes
To [C]pull a man’s soul [G]back from [D]heaven’s gates
I’ve been [Am]wandering in the dark about as [Em]long as sin
But [C]they say it’s [G]never too late to [D]start again

Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will the [C]spirit come a [G]calling for my [D]soul to send?
Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will the [C]keys to the [G]kingdom be [D]mine again?

[Am] [Em] [C] [G] [D] [twice]

Well the [Am]sheriff let me go with a [Em]knife and a song
So I [C]took the first [G]train up to [D]Oregon
And I [Am]killed the first man that I [Em]came upon
Because the [C]devil works [G]quick, you know it [D]don’t take long

Then I [Am]went to the river ford to [Em]take a swim
You [C]know that black [G]river water is as [D]black as sin
And I [Am]washed myself clean as a [Em]newborn babe
And then I [C]picked up a [G]rock for to [D]sharpen my blade

Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will the [C]spirit come a [G]calling for my [D]soul to send?
Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will the [C]keys to the [G]kingdom be [D]mine again?
Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will that [C]Black River [G]water wash me [D]clean again
Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will the [C]keys to the [G]kingdom be [D]mine again?

[Am] [Em] [C] [G] [D] [4x and fade]

capo 2

I sailed a [C]wild, wild sea
climbed up a [F]tall, tall mountain
I met an [C]old, old man
beneath a [G]weeping willow tree
He said now [C]if you got some questions
go and [F]lay them at my feet
but my [C]time here is brief
so you'll [G]have to pick just three

So I said:
[C]What do you do with the pieces of a broken [F]heart?
and [C]how can a man like me remain in the light?
and if [C]life is really as [C7]short as they say
then [F]why is the night so[Fm]long
and then the [C]sun went down
and he [G]sang for me this [C]song

He said:
I [C]once was a young man like [F]you
A[C]fraid to do the things
that I [G]knew I had to do
So I [G]played an escapade just like you
I [Dm]played an escapade just like [G]you

I sailed a [C]wild, wild sea
climbed up a [F]tall, tall mountain
I met an [C]old, old man
he sat be[G]neath a sapling tree
He said now [C]if you got some questions
go and [F]lay them at my feet
but my [C]time here is brief
so you'll [G]have to pick just three

And I said:
[C]What do you do with the pieces of a broken [F]heart?
and [C]how can a man like me remain in the light?
and if [C]life is really as [C7]short as they say
then [F]why is the night so[Fm]long
