Tell me the truth, how do you feel
Bb Gm
Like you're rollin' so fast that you're spinnin' your wheels
F C
Don't feel too bad, you're not all alone
Bb7M Gm
We're all tryin' to get along
F F7M
With ev'rybody else tryin' to go their way
Bb Gm
You're bound to get tripped, and what can you say
F C
Just go along til they turn out the lights
Bb7M Gm
There's nothin' we can do to fight it
Bb C F
No man's got it made
G7 Dm Bb
Till he's far beyond the pain
F C Dm
And we who must remain
F F7M
I once knew a man, very talented guy
Bb Gm
He's sing for the people and people would cry
F C
They knew that his song came
Bb7M Gm
From deep down inside
Bb7M Gm F
You could hear it in his voice and see it in his eyes
F7M Bb Gm
And so he traveled along, touch your heart, then be gone

Like a flower, he bloomed till that old hickory wind called him home
Bb C F
My man's got it made

He's gone far beyond the pain
F C Dm
And we who must remain
