Intro

(Drum solo)

Verse 1

Em Em6 Em7 Em6 Blood from a stone, water from wine. Em Em6 Born under an ill-placed sign Em7 Em6 Em Em6 A stroke of bad luck, wrong place, wrong time. Em7 Em6 This flyer is out of the line.

Chorus

D G Em The story is a sad one, told many times. D G Em The story of my life in trying times. D G Em Just add water, stir in lime. D A How the west was won and where it got us. Ahhh.

Verse 2

Em Em6 Em7 Em6 Canary got trapped, the uranium mine. Em Em6 A stroke of bad luck, now the bird has died. Em7 Em6 Em Em6 a marker to mark where my tears run dry. Em7 Em6 I cross it, bless it, alkaline.

Chorus

D G Em The story is a sad one, told many times. D G Em The story of my life in trying times. D G Em Just add water, stir in lime. D A How the west was won and where it got us. Ahhh. Instr Piano (piano and verse riff)

Verse 3

Em Em6 Em7 Em6 I didn't wear glasses cause I thought it might rain. Em Em6 Now I can't see anything. Em7 Em6 Em Em6 I made a mistake, chalked it up to design. Em7 Em6 I cracked through time, space, godless and dry. Em7 Em6 Em Em6 I point my nose to the northern star, Em7 Em6 And watch the decline from a hazy distance.

Chorus

D G Em The story is a sad one, told many times. D G Em The story of my life in trying times. D G Em Just add water, stir in lime. D A How the west was won and where it got us. Ahhh. Instr Outro (piano and verse riff)
