Lyrics
Gm        Bb     C      Eb

Take this guitar from my hand

Gm           Bb    C

And leave me here alone

Gm        Bb          C        Eb

For I've been playing the same old song

Gm     D      Gm     [Gm Ab A (x4)]

For no ears but my own

Blackbirds sing their song at night

The raven sits alone

The eagle spreads his wings in flight

And roams where he may roam

Wandering through the desert sand

The blind man heeds the call

The voice that bids him from the dark

Will lead him to his fall

Angels in the sunlight glow

The devil plays at night

What once was here for goodness' sake

Is now our mortal plight

So take me from this prison cell

A shelter here no more

My refuge now a den of pain

Since you walked out that door
