verse 1 
 
D          G            C                  G 
Mystery is following me down that lonesome road 
    D               G                D     G 
And I don't know my way, my way back home 
D             Em              C                G 
Someone on my shoulder and he will not share a load 
    D               G                D     G    D  G 
And I don't know my way, my way back home

Like a rolling sea or a river wide

Get down Joe

Put your head down low and let those tears run wild

When the orchestra starts playing 
     D 
Blue John's Blues
