Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

I go down the beaten track

Along the river with an empty bag

At the end she said to me

Why are you here with the autumn leaves?

'Cause this is my life, my friend

And this is my time to stand

Now this is my life, my friend

And I can't be no one else

I'm done, tipping on my toes

Strike an iron, and attack my soul

Misty moon, you're gonna see

I've got your blues to get on my feet

'Cause this is my life, my friend

and this is my time to stand

Now this is my life, my friend

and I can't be no one else

I don't wanna run, I don't wanna fight

I don't wanna hide, I just wanna stay free, to be me

I don't wanna win, I don't wanna lose

I don't wanna play, I just wanna remember, oh my name

'Cause this is my life, my friend

and this is my time to stand, Oh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Now this is my life, my friend

and I can’t be no one else

'Cause this is my life, my friend

and I can't be no one else

Now this is my life, my friend
