Capo 3

Em

          Em            C
If you’re sad, feeling low 
           G              D  
And you have got nowhere to go
          Em
You make mistakes
               C
And you never learn
            G              D
Now you’ve got nowhere to turn

          Em               C
Don’t be scared, I have a plan
          G                D
I know a place, I now the man

        Em              
Cowboy boots and back-catalogue
        C           
White Russians and a monologue 
        G                           D
Put him on, turn it up and rip him off
         Em
A hired guitar of no fixed abode
C
A howl and a suspended chord
        G                                D
Broken heart, a swinging door, the open road

           Em           C     D
When your lost, follow Robin down
         Em       C              D
To the darkness where he hangs around
C                 G        D
You can hear him sing his songs
C                                     G         D
Off how he bounced off women where it all went wrong
C 
Screaming at the dreamers
G              D            
Holding up a light 
C               G    D
In the darkness

                Em                         C
If you’re ever stuck in the middle of the night
               G                            D
You can’t get out and you don’t believe in light
              Em                 C
Well there’s hope, like there’s Hell
                 G
It’s like going home 
                   D
It’s like getting well
          Em               C
Don’t be scared, I have a plan
          G                D
I know a place, I now the man

        Em              
Cowboy boots and back-catalogue
        C           
White Russians and a monologue 
        G                           D
Put him on, turn it up and rip him off

           Em           C     D
When your lost, follow Robin down
         Em       C              D
