Intro 
             G             D                  C G 
And with the length of his mind, he darked the sun 

verse 1 
G                             C 
It was not so long ago, maybe just a year or so 
           G                               D 
When I was lonely and went looking for someone 
         G                            C 
Way down south in New Orleans just a-lookin' for a dream 
           G                D                   C  G 
And that's when I found him that's where it all begun 


[Refrão]
       C                            G 
He was there on that night said for you I know I'm right 
        C        A7               D7 
I'll be with you until my race is run 
          G                     C 
He walked into my life with his cold evil eyes 
             G             D                   C  G 
And with the length of his mind, he darked the sun 

verse 2 
         G                           C 
Well, my memory cannot speak and, oh Lord, I'm feeling weak 
      G                               D 
But I blame it on the fact that I was young 
         G                                      C 
Though I know it may sound strange, there is no way I can change 
G                                       D    G 
What my fate has laid out for me now is done
