Sun Song chords

[G] [D] [G]

[V1]
[G]Oh, I met a man today, [Em]He dreamt he was the sun.
He told me, "I won’t [C]rise again, [G]so boy, you better r[D]un.”
[G]So with hope in my [C]hand, [Em]I left my unkempt [D]home,
[G]and found a bus to [C]Reno, alongside a [D]willingness to [G]roam.

[G] [D] [G]

[CHORUS]
[C]But the birds flew south As I [Em]ran off to the [G]west,
And the sun drove [C]on and la[G]id its soul to [D]rest.
[C]And from all the [G]sky above me, t[Em]o the barren earth b[D]elow
[G]I watch the night turn to b[C]lack, Until the [D]darkness says to [G]go.

[G] [D] [G]

[V2]
[G]I met a girl in Reno, S[Em]he only sang the blues
She said, "you better[C] risk it all [G]When you have nothing left to [D]lose”
[G]So with my wagers and my [C]bets, [Em]I sat down for the[D] game
[G]I tried my best to [C]turn the tides, But the [D]results remained the [G]same

[G] [D] [G]

[CHORUS]
[C]But the birds flew south As I [Em]ran off to the [G]west,
And the sun drove [C]on and la[G]id its soul to [D]rest.
[C]And from all the [G]sky above me, t[Em]o the barren earth b[D]elow
[G]I watch the night turn to b[C]lack, Until the [D]darkness says to [G]go.

[G] [D] [G]

[V3]
[G]Now, honey don’t feel bad for me, [Em]Oh, please don’t sympathi[G]ze.
I must leave before t[C]he worst of it, That’s why I [G]close my worn-out [D]eyes.
[G]So with cold blankets and the [C]blues, [Em]I know my day is don[D]e,
[G]And when I go to sl[C]eep tonight, I’ll [D]dream I am the [G]sun.
