Here's to the lone and wayward son!
 
                                           G       C
For to love is to live, for to roll like a rolling stone
 
  D            Am           G             C
I fell in with men who were wicked in the end
 
      Bb           A            F           C
As we roll, by and by, so these crimes multiply
 
     B7           E
Yeahhhhhhhh
 
Am               D
See this wayward son, boy
 
G                  F#7         B     A
Will you live to run another dayyyyyyy
 
E                     C      G    F#
Dark is the heart and dreams will come
 
       Bm            D            A            G       C
To the swift and the dead, to the poor and the wayward son
 
   D              Am               G            C
My love can't you see, just what's happening to me
 
      Bb             A             F               C
All I touch turns to sand slipping down through my hand
 
     B7           E
Yeahhhhhhhh

Shining like a million skies
 
    Faug      Am              C             G
Overall, overall, my petty crimes, I perpetrate

I know you should hate me
 
        Bm           C                       G
But you celebrate me everytime I'm on your side
 
               D
My eyes open wide
 
         C                  G                 D
You just wing it like a bird, out over the void
 
           C                   G                   F        C

But you elevate me up into the stratosphere
 
              D            C              G
I no longer care that I am terrified, alright
 
                        D
Yeah, but you are the cure
 
            C                   G              F      C
'Cuz all my petty crimes and curses, they disappear

E                               C#m
I can feel the future in your skin
 
                            F#m
Catch the spirits as they spin
 
      Faug         Am               C              G
All around, all around, my petty crimes, I perpetrate
 
                  F#7
I know you should hate me
 
        Bm           C                         G
But you rearrange me comin' off the starting line
 
            D
A hammer at wild
 
             C                G                   D
But you just wing it like a bird, out over the void
 
           C                   G                  F      C
And all my petty crimes and curses, they are destroyed

      Bm                 G
Now a serpent spoke to me
 
       F               C                  D (see tab A below lyrics)
He was hanging from a pale and nameless tree
 
          A             D               A
On the blade, where the guys are all insane
 
    C                  Bb
His voice was like the wind that blows
 
  G#                 D#            Bb
A thousand crows all rising into flight
 
          G#    F# E        D
Upon the night, alright
 
Woah, look out! ---> (see Tab B for solo and rhythm guitars)

     Bm                G
So I left him in his tree
 
           F                C                 D                A
Score some horses, took the road that runs in circles to the sea
 
        D                  A
But the snake he followed me
 
     C                Bb
So I hopped a ship, a silver seed
 
     G#           D#
Past galaxies and stars with speed
 
   Bb                G#      F#   E
To end this planet's world's a... void (sorry, hard to determine lyrics here)

When this world of ours is nothing more than a long lost song
 
     D            Am         G                 C
This road that we run, is it where we both belong?
