Transposed from the original by Willie Nelson



Intro F C F C



      F                     F                         A#

At a time when the world seems to be spinnin'

F               C        F

Hopelessly out of control

         F                   F                           A#

There's deceivers and believers and old in-betweeners

        F                   C                F         

That seem to have no place to go





C                          C              A#                 F

Well it's the same old song, it's right and it's wrong

        Dm            C#                        C       

And livin' is just something that I do

               F                F                            A#

And with no place to hide, I looked in your eyes

       F           C             F         

And I found myself in you



   C                   C                A#         F

I looked to the stars, tried all of the bars

     Dm            C#                 C       

And I've nearly gone up in smoke 

              F                   F                                  A#

Now my hand's on the wheel of somethin' that's real

       F            C              F        (A#)  F

And I feel like I'm goin' home



      F                         F                     A#

And in the shade of an oak, down by the river

F          F                C

Sat an old man and a boy

       F                    F                         A#

Settin' sails, spinnin tales, and fishin' for whales

       F        C           F       

With a lady that they both enjoy



C                                   C                    A#              F

Well it's the same damn tune, it's the man and the moon

       Dm            C#       C 

It's the way that I feel about you

           A                A                           D

And with no place to hide, I looked in your eyes

      F           C          F      

And I found myself in you



 C                      C              A#          F

I looked to the stars, tried all of the bars

      Dm           C#                C 

And I've nearly gone up in smoke 

           F                   F                                 A#

Now my hand's on the wheel of somethin' that's real

       F             C            F     (A#) F

And I feel like I'm goin' home
