    D              C                Bm           Bb               D      C
I often get the feeling that I'm talking to the wind and no one hears
Bm             Bb
No one listens in
     D                 C        Bm               Bb                    D    C    Bm
Then I start singing songs and music makes the whole world feel like home
        Bb                   D
Sing a song and you're not alone


[Verse 2]
        C                Bm            Bb                D     C
Lilly McLean, you are standing in the rain and you are cold
  Bm        Bb
Hungry and afraid
      D                C           Bm               Bb         D     C    Bm
And waiting for the sunrise, the sunrise makes you feel very small
          Bb              D
Darling Lilly, aren't we all?


[Chorus]
       G     D    G     Bm
Oh I'm believing, believing
   Bm           E                 A7
Believing that when I'm dead and gone
     D                C        Bm           Bb              D
Maybe some lonesome picker will find some healing in this song


[Verse 3]
       D            C        Bm              Bb             D    C
Yeah Julie get the gun, and throw it in the river, let it roll
Bm            Bb
Far on out to sea
        D           C                Bm             Bb           D     C    Bm
Let it carry the confusion, all the worry and the hatred here in me
       Bb             D
River roll it out to sea


[Chorus]
       G      D   G      Bm
Oh I'm believing, believing
   Bm           E                  A7
Believing that when I'm dead and gone
     D                C       Bm            Bb             D
Maybe some lonesome picker will find some healing in this song
          D                 C        Bm           Bb              D
Yeah maybe some lonesome picker gonna find some healing in this song
