Standard (EADGBE)

 Old man on the corner, singing my life

 And he's playing that guitar with a rusty old knife

 And every line that he sings rhymes with the truth

 And the promise of something beyond the blues

 Beyond the blues

Me and my darling took the long way around

 Through the wide open countries and the heart attack towns

 To every fork in the road where we've all got to choose

 Between darkness and light, beyond the blues

 Beyond the blues, beyond the shadows, beyond the rain

 Beyond the darkness and all the pain

 When you're walking in circles, with holes in your shoes

 Love is the road that leads out beyond the blues

 Beyond the blues

Solo

Old man on the corner has been gone for years

 And that guitar in the night bled rusty tears

 But there's a song that he left us we'll never lose

 That love is the road that leads beyond the blues

 Beyond the blues

 Beyond the blues, beyond the shadows, beyond the rain

 Beyond the darkness and all the pain

 When you're walking in circles, with holes in your shoes

 Love is the road that leads out beyond the blues

 Beyond the blues

 Love is the road that leads out beyond the blues
