[Verso 1]
 
               E 
Old man went a looking, 
G             E 
Looking for a heart, 
            D                A 
To fill the hole next to his soul, 
         E 
Where to start. 
 


[Verso 2]
 
                    E 
He went down to the river, 
E               E 
Down by the evergreen, 
          D                           A 
Under the light of the most beautiful moon, 
          E 
He'd ever seen. 
 


[Verso 3]
 
               E 
Blinded by the light, 
   E             E 
He fell into the mud, 
                          D 
Turned his eyes up to the sky, he cried, 
   A  E 
Oh my love. 
 


[Verso 4]
 
               E 
He cried oh my love, 
      E        E 
All I taste is misery, 
             D 
When you're alone, 
       A             E 
Do you ever think of me.

Down on his knees, 
   E                  E 
He prayed down on his knees,

Out loud to the sky above,

Wont you help me please.

Listen to what I say,

Wash this dirt along,

Wont you wash my hurt away.

[Verso 7]
 
            E 
So the sky above, 
E                 E 
Well it rained on down, 
D 
Pounded him, 
A                E 
Drove him to the ground. 
 


[Verso 8]
 
E                E 
Rust to dust and ashes, 
E              E 
Carried out to sea, 
                 Dsus2 
You never lay it down, 
          A              E 
You ain't never gonna be free.
