[Verse]
FAm
I've been called every bad name, some I can't name
BbGC
By judges and lawyers and folks I've never met
FBbF
But my mother she called me Walker Jermaine
BbCFDmBbDmBbC
She said, "Go out, boy, and make your own way"
[Verse]
FAm
So I tried making boxes out in Nashua
BbGC
Yeah, I tried laying traps up in Bar Harbour bay
FBbF
But none of it helped me and I got away
BbCFDmBbCDmC
Yeah, I got away good, just as gone as I could
[Chorus]
BbCF
Oh, every shuteye ain't sleep, I know it's so
BbC
Restless I ride in the linen
BbCDm
Every goodbye ain't gone, I hope it's true
BbCDmBbDmBbC
I count my days, leaving only a few
[Verse]
FAm
Oh, I know it's not right to take what's not mine
BbGC
Yeah, I'm sure ain't right, I know stealing's a crime
FBbF
But I know what it's like to see a life going down
BbCFDmBbCDmC
Like gravel in a grave, one grain at a time
[Chorus]
BbCF
Oh, every shuteye ain't sleep, I know it's so
BbC
Restless I ride in the linen
BbCDm
Every goodbye ain't gone, I hope it's true
BbC
I count my days, leaving only a few

[Verse]
FAm
Well, I've been here so long, I got stones for old friends
BbGC
And I tell 'am my secrets and that's where it ends
FBbF
And the woman who named me, well, she's in the ground
BbCFDmBbCDmC
But her Walker Jermaine just cannot be found
[Chorus]
BbCF
Oh, every shuteye ain't sleep, I know it's so
BbC
Restless I ride in the linen
BbCDm
Every goodbye ain't gone, I hope it's true
BbC
I count my days, leaving only a few
[Outro]

Every shuteye ain't sleep

Every goodbye ain't gone...

Every shuteye ain't sleep
BbCDmBbC
Every goodbye ain't gone...
BbCFBbC
Every shuteye ain't sleep

Every goodbye ain't gone...

Every shuteye ain't sleep

Every goodbye ain't gone...

Every shuteye ain't sleep

Every goodbye ain't gone...
