Cruel, cruel world, must I go on
  7      -6   -5    -5   5 -5  6
Cruel, cruel world, i'm moving on
 -5    6   -6 7  -8   7
I've been living too fast
 -6   -5   6 -5  -5   4
I've been living too wrong
 -5      -4    4    -5   -5
Cruel, cruel world, i'm gone

 -5   6   -6   7     -8   7  -5  -6 6     -5 
This big old world, just got me running 'round
  6  -6   7    -8   7  -5   -6 6   6
Heard a voice, it told me: settle down
 -5   6     -6 7    7 -8  7
With the moonlight as my guide
-6  -5     6 -5   6    -5 4
And this feeling deep inside
-5 -4   4   -6   7   -6 6     -5
I know now that I'm homeward bound

-5 6  -6 7     7    -8    7
As I wander through the pines
-6    6 -5 -4    -5   6
The whisperings they tell
-5  6  -6 7 -8  7  -6 -5    6   -6   6
Of the many before me who tried and fell
 -5 6     -6 7   -8  7
Seeking fortune and ways
-5  6  -5 -4 -5  6
To get to glory days
 -5 -4   4 -6   7   -6  -6   6   -5
Looking for a place in this old world

  7     -6   -5     6  -5 -4 -5       
Cruel, cruel world, must I go on
  7      -6   -5    -5   5 -5  6
Cruel, cruel world, i'm moving on
 -5    6   -6 7  -8   7
I've been living too fast
 -6   -5   6 -5  -5   4
I've been living too wrong
 -5      -4    4    -5   -5
Cruel, cruel world, i'm gone

 6 -6   7     7 -6   -5
Desert road, desert plain
6  -6   7    7   -6   6
I have seen, so much pain
-5  6 -6  7 -8 -5   -6  6 -4 -5 
Now I see into the eyes of a girl
-5  4    -6  7     -6    -5
No more, no more, cruel world

5 -5 6 -6    7  -8  7 -5 -6 6   -5 
On a dusty trail I saw a vapor light
-5  6   -6 7    -8    7    -6  -6   6     6 
Was it mirage? Don't know, but it seemed right
-5  6    -6 7   7  -8    7
I felt mission, I felt trust
-6 -5   6     6  -4 -5
I knew then, that I must
-5 -4  4   -6 7  -6   -6    6    -5
Go to her, away from this cruel world

  7      -6   -5     6  -5 -4 -5       
Cruel, cruel world, must I go on
  7      -6   -5    -5   5 -5  6
Cruel, cruel world, i'm moving on
 -5    6   -6 7  -8   7
I've been living too fast
 -6   -5   6 -5  -5   4
I've been living too wrong
 -5      -4    4    -5   -5
Cruel, cruel world, i'm gone
 -5     -4     4    -6  -5
Cruel, cruel world, i'm gone
