A Goodbye Rye
View chords used in this chart
G Em C Am Em C Am C
Once upon a blue Thing or two
Eyes and sight and a moon confused
We heard the sparks fly And we watched their lies
Some died in retreat Some in jealousy
You know boredom breeds Temptation in its wake
But will you look at what Temptations done
The spirits here in the hollow A message at the Bottom of the bottle
Oh the sky tonight is gray Oh the quiver and the quake
We cheered away A Goodbye Rye And bled on down the road
But when the buzz was over man
The years are slow So I lye alone
Do you want your name to burn away?
Oh, but lies aside Honey, will I ride? Along and through And over you
Sleep shame Reno's low behind in flames
So with your misty mist And your low-land frame
Won't you sleep? Shame?
