Performed in the key of C

1st Verse
D
Ú    Ù    Ú    Ù     Ú    Ú
To-day  I heard the news,

D7
Ú    Ù    Ú    Ù     Ú    Ú
It filled my ears with blues;

D
Ú       Ù    Ú      Ù    Ú    Ú
And presented me its views,

D7
Ú         Ù    Ú    Ù     Ú          Ú
About a world we cannot choose.

Chorus:

C                  C7
Ú         Ú  Ú    Ú      Ú   Ú
Speak to me somebody;

C          C7
Ú  Ú  Ú    Ú      Ú   Ú
I am not your nobody.

C            C7
Ú         Ú  Ú   Ú  Ú   Ú
Speak to me in the light,

Am                E
Ú         Ú  Ú   Ú     Ú   Ú   Ú
Speak to me & make it right

2nd Verse

D
Ú         Ù    Ú    Ù     Ú    Ú
Tomorrow will be here soon,

D7
Ú         Ù    Ú    Ù     Ú        Ú
First   the sun  &   then the moon,

D
Ú      Ù     Ú     Ù     Ú   Ú
Playing a melancholy tune,

D7
Ú           Ù   Ú    Ù     Ú     Ú
During the summer heat of June.

(Repeat Chorus)

3rd Verse

D
Ú         Ù      Ú    Ù  Ú   Ú
Day breaks on the gravel,

D7
Ú     Ù  Ú     Ù    Ú   Ú
Like a Kerouac travel;

D
Ú         Ù      Ú         Ù  Ú   Ú
With heavy trains that marvel,

D7
Ú        Ù      Ú         Ù       Ú   Ú
Our minds strung-out, unraveled.

(Reapeat Chorus twice)
