Drowning Man
words and music by Arlo Guthrie
Intro: G Em
C G
I remember when I met you
Em C G
Underneath the evening sky
Am Am/B C
Now it seems I could forget you
D Em
Rescue me, I'm bound to die
C G
All the promises we made there
Em C G
With no words to understand
Am Am/B C
And though I've tried I've come up empty
D Em
Heart of stone, drowning man
CHORUS:
C G
I'm going down for the third time
Em C G
And I need a helping hand
Am Am/B C
The rooster crows and I'm sinking
D Em
Heart of stone, drowning man

Where are you, my dear companion

How much longer must you be

I'm all alone out on the ocean

When will you come and rescue me

It's too late for new beginnings

In this world I've left behind

There is nothing left worth keeping

Not a thing to change my mind
CHORUS

How far down the road to glory

Must we go without a sign

Caught out on these stormy waters

How can you treat me so unkind

Did you know from the beginning

That I'd dig this lousy hole

Oh, don't leave me here abandoned
