AbPlaying to the big crowds Playing to the cheap seats Db Another day in your life until your journey's end AbShine your ligDbht, move it Ebon, you burn so brigDbht, roll on John AbSailing through the tradewindsBound for the sun Db Rags on your back just like any other slave AbThey tied your hands and they clamped your mouth Db Wasn't no way out of that deep dark cave AbShine your ligDbht, move it Ebon, you burn so brigDbht, roll on John AbI heard the news today, oh boy Db They hauled your ship up on the shore AbNow the city's gone darkThere is no more joy Db They tore the heart right out and cut it to the core AbShine your ligDbht, move it Ebon, you burn so brigDbht, roll on John AbPut on your bags and get 'em packed. Db Leave right now you won't be far from hine AbThe sooner you go, the quicker you'll be back Db You've been cooped up on an island far too long AbShine your ligDbht, move it Ebon, you burn so brigDbht, roll on John AbSlow down you're moving too fast Db Come together right now over me AbYour bones are wearyYou're about to breathe your last Db Lord, you know how hard that it can be AbShine your ligDbht, move it Ebon, you burn so brigDbht, roll on John AbRoll on John, roll through the rain and snow Db Take the righthand road and go where the buffalo roam AbThey'll trap you in an ambush before you know Ab Too late now to sail back home DbShine your ligDbht, move it Ebon, you burn so brigDbht, roll on John AbTyger, Tyger burning bright Db I pray the lord my soul to keAbep In the forest of the night DbCover him over and let him sleep Ab Shine your ligDbht, move it Ebon, you burn so brigDbht, roll on John.
