Is this the real life

-2/  -2/   -2    -2/   2   -1

Is    this  just  fantasy

   -2     -2  -2  -3//   -2

Caught in a  landslide

-2     -2   6      6   -6  6  -5   5

No   escape from re-a-lit-y

  5  5    5       5      5     5  5  -5      6     4    -6

Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see

-6    -6  -6  -6   -6     6    6  -6     6  -5  -4

I’m just a poor boy, I need no sympathy

-3   -3    4     -4/  -4/  4    -3  -3  4

Because I’m easy come, easy go

-4/  -4/  4    -3  -3  4

Little high, little low

-3//    -3//  -3//   -2     4         -2/     -2/ -2/ -2  -1  2   -2

Any way the wind blows, doesn’t really matter to me

-3   4    4

To-oo me

   5   5    4      -4   5    5 

Mama, just killed a man

  5  5  -5     6    -5  5     -4

Put a gun against his head

    -4      5   -5    6   -5     5     -4

Pulled my trigger, now he's dead

 5    5     5    6   -7    -6  -6

Mama, life had just begun

-6     7      7      7     7      7      -6  -5  5   -4  -4

But now I've gone and thrown it  a-all   away

-6  -6  6  -6  6*   -6

Mama, oo-o-oo-oh 

-6   -6     6*  -6   -6     6     6

Didn't mean to make you cry

4    4    6     6   -6  -6   6*    6*   7  6*  -6

If I'm not back again this time tomorrow

6  -6   7     6 -6  -5

Carry on, carry on

4    4  -4   5    -4  5    -4   4

As if nothing really matters

   5     5    4     -4     5      5 

Too late, my time has come

    5     -5   6      -5    5      -4

Sends shivers down my spine

 -4   5   -5   6   -5   5    -4

Body's aching all the time

  5     5      -4  4  -4  5    6   -7 -6  -6

Goodbye everybody, I've got to go

-6  -6    7      7    7     7   7    -6  -5  5   -4    -4

Gotta leave you all behind and fa-ace the truth

-6   -6   6  -6  6*  -6

Mama, oo-o-oo-oh 

6*  -6    -6    6   6

I don't want to die

4    4     6        6    -6  -6  6*   6*    6*  7  6* -6

I sometimes wish I'd never been born at  a-all
