E* A F#m Bm E
Be-neath the weight of the world I can be found
A F#m Bm E
A-mong the chaos and the wheel, scattered all a-round.

On the wild windy wave I'm tossed, cast away and lost,

Be-tween the devil and the deep blue we find ourselves
A AM7 A F#m Bm E D#
Out of the frying pan and into, left on the shelf.
D A C#7 F#m
Borne willy nilly here and there when our hearts are full of care,
Bm B7 E
Oh my, now we under-stand what those sad songs say,

Sad, sad songs they say.
