Sometimes Ive Won

Yonder Mountain String Band


Tom: Dm

                G                   D
Sometimes I've won, sometimes i've lost
                C           G                  A
Somtimes I've walked away before the dice were tossed
          F                            C
It's not that I chose to be a gamblin' man
               F              C               F                G
But you're not left with many options walkin' roads that never end
         C                           G
And I'd love to imagine that there's some place for me
       C           G            F
At the end of this long, lonely road
        F          G                C             F
I keep tryin' my best, I sure could use a little rest
         Dm           G        C
And some help findin' my way home


[Verse 2]
             G                  D
I'm not the best, that's ever been
C          G                   A
Long ago I vowed I'd find the light I lost back then
         F                              C
And you think that you'd be better all alone
             F               C             F                 G
When there's noone there who loves you and no place to call home
    C                          G
Well I'm growin' tired of this search for my soul, with
C            G            F
All of these rocks in the road
       F           G              C             F
I keep tryin' my best, sure could use a little rest
         Dm           G        C
And some help findin' my way home


[Verse 3]
             G                    D
A life like mine, must be reasons why
      C              G                A
So I shouted all the names I knew for God up to the sky
       F                          C
And I listen for his answer every day
           F              C                  F                  G
But I grow worried by the waitin', he should know just what to say
   C                             G
I'd love to imagine that there's some place for me 
       C           G           F
At the end of this long lonely road
       F           G              C             F
I keep tryin' my best, sure could use a little rest
         Dm           G        C
And some help findin' my way home


[Bridge]
Am                              G
Well I've had friends, they've come and gone
               Bb                          F
And I've seen love shine like a sunset & last about as long
  Am                   G
In the end we're all walkin' different roads
           Bb                              C                 D
But we're lookin' for the same signs, the ones that lead us home


[Verse 4]
                G                   D
Sometimes I've won, sometimes I've lost
                C           G                  A
Sometimes I've walked away before the dice were tossed
          F                            C
It's not that I chose to be a ramblin' man
          F                     C                F              G
But I see bright lights in the distance and this road it never ends
         C                           G
And I'd love to imagine that theres some place for me
       C           G            F
At the end of this long, lonely road
        F          G               C            F
I keep tryin' my best, sure could use a little rest
         Dm           G        C
And some help findin' my way home


[Outro]
        F          G               C            F
I keep tryin' my best, sure could use a little rest
          Dm          G       C
And some help findin' my way home
