[Intro]

Em7
Is this the real life
A7
Is this just fantasy
D7          Am7 D7
Caught in a landslide
    G
No escape from reality
Em
Open your eyes
     G7                   C
Look up to the skies and see
Am                   D7
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
            G#   G     F#   G
Because I'm easy come, easy go,
G#     G     F#     G
little high, little low,
C           G/B         Bbdim7         D7/A
Any way the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me,
   G
To me


[Verse]

G          Em
Mama, just killed a man,
      Am
Put a gun against his head,
          Am                 D
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead,
G              Em
Mama, life had just begun,
    Am                Am/G#     Am/G Am/F#   Am/F Am/E
But now I've gone and thrown it all  away
C    G Am
Mama ooooh,
       Dm
Didn't mean to make you cry
   G                               C
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
      G         Am        Fm                C
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters

G


[Verse]

G            Em
Too late, my time has come,
      Am
Sends shivers down my spine
       Am               D
Body's aching all the time,
G                        Em
Goodbye everybody - I've got to go
      Am              Am/G#    Am/G Am/F#    Am/F Am/E
Gotta leave you all behind and face   the truth
C    G Am
Mama ooooh (any way the wind blows)
Dm
I don't want to die,
  G                                      C
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
