[Verse 1]
[D][A][G][A][D][A][D][A][G][A]
[D]Bla[A]ck [D]best
in white, lights all [A]covered in [G]blue
She [D]trips out on the cocaine cause
there's [A]nothing to [G]do
Since a [D]man and his gland,
they haven't shot [G]through
You [D]lose most in love and you
win [A]only [G]a few[A]
[D]Time [A]alone, it drags heavy on [G]me
Sad [D]evenings [A]alone and my thoughts are
on [G]a sheet
[D]Feel it down here, you seldom can [G]see
Do you have [D]an idea what
[A]lonely can [G]be?[A]
His de[D]light at the sight of a
[A]worn -out [G]old skin
Goes with his hat [D]in his hand to
[A]the next rubbish [G]tin
He's con[D]soled by the role
that his [A]father [G]played
Means as much [D]to his being as
[A]a throne to a [G]king[A]
[D]Time,
[A]Lord, it drags heavy [G]on me
Sad even[D]ings alone and
[A]my thoughts are on
[G]the sheet
Feel [D]it down here your[A]self and [G]see
Do you have [D]an idea what [A]lonely
can [G]be?[A][D][G][D]
[A][D][G]
[D]He wak[A]es up [G]one[D] morning to [A]find his life's on [G]time,
[A][D]
Lord, it drags [A]heavy [G]on me, I
Sad [D]evenings alone and
[A]my thoughts are on [G]the sheaf
Feel [D]it down here, you [A]seldom [G]can see
Do [D]you have an idea what
[A]lonely can [G]be?[A]
[D]When this
Vietnam was spent dodging [G]lead
Then eventu[D]ally the enemy
[A]blew off his [G]head
His [D]weight was a feather
as we carried [G]them in
One harp [D]of a friend they
[A]sent home in a [G]tin[A]
[D]Time will only drag [A]heavy [G]on me
Sad even[D]ings alone and
[A]my thoughts [D]are on [G]the sheet
Feel [D]it down here, you seldom [G]can see
You have [D]an idea of [A]what love can [G]be[A]
