  			Intro Am  C    Am 

Am                   G                C 
Time flies by like a shot from a gun 
Am                              G            C 
Makin hay with the devil in the new days sun 
Am                              G              C 
Striking at the iron while the iron is hot 
Am                      G       Am 
I’ll pay my dues for the life I got 


Livin for the minute and livin for the day 
In my own town in my own way 
Headin nowhere just as fast as I can 
Yeah I’m ridin on dunes leavin tracks in the sand 

Am                           C      Am 
I say that’s how you die a lonely man 

F               C               G                       Am 
Die yi yi yippy yippy yippy yay leavin my tracks in the sand 
F               C               G                       Am 
Die yi yi yippy yippy yippy yay goin real hard drivin at the wind 
Am                           C      Am 
I say that’s how you die a lonely man 

There’s a train to Chicago and a plane to L.A. 
Yeah a meeting in Akron on all saints day 
Well it got so late, I forgot to call in 
Yeah, well daddy’s doin business at the bar again 

I say that’s how you die a lonely man 

Die yi yi yippy yippy yippy yay leavin my tracks in the sand 
Die yi yi yippy yippy yippy yay goin real hard drivin at the wind 
I say that’s how you die a lonely man 
I say that’s how you die a lonely man 

Bridge Am  C    Am 

Kids are always asking, when daddy’s getting hooooome 
Momma’s getting angry dinners cold upon the stove 
She takes all the kids awaaay!!! 
I get the life of a lonely man 
I get the life of a lonely man 
I get the life of a lonely man 
I get the life of a lonely man 


Die yi yi yippy yippy yippy yay goin real hard drivin at the wind 
I say that’s how you die a lonely man
