[Intro 1]
[D][G][D]
[G][D][Bm][D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
I watched the [D]crows
as they [G]sit upon the [D]rooftops
And every morn[G]ing
I could hear them cry for [D]me
I [G]don't know what they'll say,
so I'll [D]go on my way
[Bm]But the [D]curse they cry
will [A]not let me [D]be
For I am just a [G]figure seeking com[D]fort
And [G]I am but a boy who left his h[D]ome
I'm a [G]thousand miles away
and I'll set my boot[D]s down in the clay
[Bm]And I'm just a stranger
[D]trying to fin[A]d a place to roa[D]m
And the fa[G]vors that you ask
will keep me [D]busy
And the [G]fa vors that I seek
will drive me [A]mad
The [D]load upon my back is getting heavy
I'll sleep tight tonight
[A]but we're not going [D]back[G]
[D][G][D][G]
[D][Bm][D][A][D]
I've seen the ship [G]sleep in the har[D]bor
Now [G]I've watched a woman
leave without a [D]word
I saw a [G]tear in her eye,
she had no [D]need to say good[Bm]bye
Cause heart[D]break's just a lan
[A]guage that I've [D]learned
And the fa[G]vors that you ask
of keep me [D]busy
And the fa[G]vors that I seek
are driving me [A]mad
The [D]load upon my back is getting heavy
Sleep tight tonight
for [A]we are not going [D]back
Come [G]on[D][G][A]
[D]
[A][D]
If I should ever [G]find a place of [D]comfort
Won't you [G]lay me down
beneath an old [D]oak tree
Won't you [G]bury me so [D]deep
I might get [Bm]some sleep
But [D]don't you ever [A]shed a tear for [D]me
For the fa[G]vors that you ask
keep me [D]busy
The fa[G]vors that I seek drive [A]me mad
The [D]load upon my back is still heavy
Sleep tight tonight,
[A]we're not going [D]back
Sleep tight tonight,
[A]we're not going [Bm]back[G]
[D]Sleep [G]tig[D]ht tonight,
[A]we're not going back
