SPEED OF THE SOUND OF LONELINESS (John Prine)
---------------------------------------------
[Nanci Griffith`s version is actually in C, with
a capo on the 5th fret.]
[Each chord is one 2/2 measure]
G G C C D D G G
[intro]
G G C C
You come home late and you come home early
D D G G
You come on big when you`re feeling small
G G C C
You come home straight and you come home curly
D D G G
Sometimes you don`t come home at all
G G C C
So what in the world`s come over you
D D G G
And what in heaven`s name have I done
G G C C
You`ve broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
D D G G
You`re out there running just to be on the run
Well I got a heart that burns with a fever
And I got a worried and a jealous mind
How can a love that`ll last forever
Get left so far behind
So what in the world`s come over you
And what in heaven`s name have I done
You`ve broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You`re out there running just to be on the run
[Instrumental, same chords as one verse]
It`s a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow
It`s crossed the evil line today (?)
How can you ask about tomorrow
When we ain`t got one word to say
So what in the world`s come over you
And what in heaven`s name have I done
You`ve broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You`re out there running just to be on the run
So what in the world`s come over you
And what in heaven`s name have I done
You`ve broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You`re out there running just to be on the run
You`re out there running just to be on the run
D D G C D G.
You`re out there running just to be on the run
