[Verse 1]
E A
See the blood on the magazine
E A
See the shine on the record machine
E A
Oh, it can not be so bad
E A B Baug
Oh, but I feel so sad about it now
E A
Like marmel in the Ivory Tower
E A
This years mile and the man of the hour
E A
Oh, it don't mean a thing
E A B Baug
Even the birds they all refuse to sing about it now
[Chorus 1]
E C#m
And I-I-I-I'd be a lonely man
E C#m
If I thought you wouldn't understand
A A7 E
Just how it can be-e-e
E C#m
No, don't say it's just me
A B E
Well you know, you know, you know how it can be

[Verse 2]
E A
With my baby right under my arm
E A
Leave this city, go back to the farm
E A
Oh, I'd be alone at last
E A B Baug
Oh and the sky will pass below the sun
E A
Meet me baby in the pale moonlight
E A
Meet the willow sweet by and by
E A
Oh, I can see it now
E A B Baug
Oh, I can feel just how there'll be no one
[Chorus 2]
E C#m
And I-I-I-I'd be a lonely man
E C#m
If I thought you wouldn't understand
A A7 E
Just how it can be-e-e
E C#m
No, don't say it's just me
A B E A B
Well you know, you know, you know how it can be
