Lord, Lord, can you hear me? Oh, I am in pain 
Am    G     C                    D 
And I don't have a woman left to blame anymore 
    Am   G       D 
She left me this morning 
   E            Am      G           C 
So why does the wind go howling her name?

Are your angels just children laughing insane 
       E                                Am 
At the fools we are as men? Go count me in

   Am        G       D 
An actor not given a part
