Overnight Bag

Am  C  E  Am        Am  C  E   Am      G

C                                 G
Packed my things in an overnight bag,
C                                       G
A toothbrush and guitar, got no tail to drag.
             Dm /C/H                        Am       G
Gonna leave,          on the next passing breeze.

C                                   G
My heart is heavy, as a sky full of rain,
C                                            G
Mind full of notions, that I just can't explain.
              Dm/C/H                      G
The reasons why,   just can't be supplied.

Am C E Am  ...  G

C                                       G
Trapped by a heartache, and freed by my will,
C                                        G
Sentenced to wander, so much time to kill,
           Dm/C/H                 G
Hear my plea,      and rescue me.

C                                   G
Packed my sorrows in an overnight bag,
C                                    G
But I'll be gone much longer than that,
              Dm/C/H                  G
Who knows when,      we'll meet again?

G                                  Dm         Am
Too many sleepless nights, put my soul on edge,
G                                   Dm       Am     G
 And so many restless moods, lay heavy in my head.

....SOLO.over verse....

G                                  Dm         Am
Too many sleepless nights, put my soul on edge,
G                                   Dm       Am     G
 And so many restless moods, lay heavy in my head.

C                                                G
Wrote down my thoughts, and I sealed them in hope,
C                             G
Sent them to you in a blue envelope,
             Dm/C/H             Am   G
Not received,       it seems to me.

C                             G
I had some things that I wanted to say,
C                        G
But my chance, well it just blew away,
             Dm/C/H              Am  G
On the breeze,     like some mystery
