Capo on 3)
Intro.: (D) x 16 measures
(D)Honey, honey, (G)honey you (A)still prey on my (D)mind
I tried (D)thumbin', freight train jumpin', baby, (G)nothin' (A)leaves you be-(D)hind
[Refrão]So I (G)jump up, (D)find me a mountain, (A) shake of the (D)sheep I been countin'
(G)Chase that sun 'til (D)it runs out of (A)sky
And if your (G)memory's still too (A)strong, I'll keep (Bm)mov-(A)in' (G)on
And (F#)get (Em)long-(A)er gone
Inst.: | (D) | (D) | (D) | (D) | (G) | (A) | (D) | (D) |
Now (D)there are those who (G)swear that I be-(A)long in a padded (D)room
Cause I (D)can't sleep, baby you keep (G)creepin' up like the (A)light of a crescent (D)moon
[Refrão]So I (G)jump up, (D)find me a mountain, (A) shake of the (D)sheep I been countin'
(G)Chase that sun 'til (D)it runs out of (A)sky
And if your (G)memory's still too (A)strong, I'll keep (Bm)mov-(A)in' (G)on
And (F#)get (Em)long-(A)er gone (D)
(Bm) It would be (A)easy if I (G)never (F#)loved you
(G)Found some-(F#)one new, but (Em)un-(F#)til (G)I (A)do
[Refrão]So I (G)jump up, (D)find me a mountain, (A) shake of the (D)sheep I been countin'
(G)Chase that sun 'til (D)it runs out of (A)sky
And if your (G)memory's still too (A)strong, I'll keep (Bm)mov-(A)in' (G)on
And get (Em)long-(F#) (G)er, and get (Em)long-(A)er gone
Inst.: | (D) | (D) | (D) | (D) | (G) | (A) | (D) | (D) |
(D)Honey, honey, (G)honey you still prey (A)on my mind
