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

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

      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)

          Bm          D            A           G         C
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?

       G#m6       A              F           C
As the years disappear, will you wait for me here?
