[Verse 1]
D     E        A
I cry tears of emotion
D         E          A
To spread across the U.S.A
D          E
Ain't no sunshine cowboy
        A
In your pockets
                   B         E
I'll make my own way while I play
 
[Verse 2]
A
Baby you forgot you're living
                D
Someone covered up your eyes
E                      A
In my way at least I'm giving
E                 A
What I love, am I wise?
 
[Chorus]
        D        E    A
There's gonna be some confusion
      D           E    A
And there's gonna be a day
D                 E
You'll raise your eyes
           A
And you'll look to the skies
           B             E
And you'll pray, while I play
 
[Verse 3]
A
I am my father's son
           D
Or that is what I heard
E              A
Maybe I got it wrong
E               A
I didn't mean a word
E                   A
You got my face and I'll play your ace
E                 A
Pretend I haven't heard
 
[Chorus]
        D        E    A
There's gonna be some confusion
      D           E    A
And there's gonna be a day
   D              E
You'll raise your eyes
      A
And look to the skies
           B                E
And you'll pray, oh while I play
 
[Verse 4]
A
I am a minstrel
              D
That is all I want to be
E                     A
I'll play inside your soul
E                 A
I'll show you to yourself
E                      A
I'll fill your head with wild emotions
E               A
A symphony in wealth
 
[Chorus]
     D           E     A
There's gonna be some confusion
     D            E    A
And there's gonna be a day
 D                E
You'll raise your eyes
      A
And look to the skies
           B             E
And you'll pray, while I play
 
[Verse 5]
A
I will take my leave
         D
I gotta move on time
E                    A
I played inside your soul
E               A
I made you sing along
E                A
I will return to find out
E                 A
If the melody was wrong
 
[Chorus]
        D        E     A
There's gonna be some confusion
    D             E     A
And there's gonna be a day
 D                E
You'll raise your eyes
     A
And look to the skies
           B             E
And you'll pray, while I play, while I play
