Eight Days Out Words Fred Grittner, Music Jan Hauenstein
(G) (Gj7) (Am) (Am7) (D) (D4)
I’m (G)out on the circuit, (Gj7)making my rounds.
(Am)Been out since Monday, it’s (D)bringing me down.(D4) (D)
I’m (Cj7)stuck in the mud, (Bb)spinning my wheels,
You’ve (Am)been here your(Am7)self, you (D)know how it (D4)feels.(D)
(G)You’re what’s (Cj7)keeping me go(G)ing
Through the (Am)heartache, the (Am7)fears and the (D4)do(D)ubt.
(Em)I’ll be (B7)back, (Cj7)I’ll be (D)back,
(Am) But I’m (Am7)eight days (D)out, (D4)
(Em)I’ll be (Cj7)back, (Am7)I’ll be (D)back,
(Am) But I’m (Am7)eight (D)days (G)out. (Gj7) (Am) (Am7) (D) (D4) (D)
I (G)used to like traveling, I (Gj7)don’t anymore,
(Am)Talking to strangers, (D)opening doors. (D4) (D)
(Cj7)I can’t believe what (Bb)I have become,
A (Am)splintering stick(Am7) on a (D)little tin drum.(D4) (D)
(G)You’re what’s (Cj7)keeping me go(G)ing
Through the (Am)heartache, the (Am7)fears and the (D4)do(D)ubt.
(Em)I’ll be (B7)back, (Cj7)I’ll be (D)back,
(Am) But I’m (Am7)eight days (D)out, (D4)
(Em)I’ll be (Cj7)back, (Am7)I’ll be (D)back,
(Am) But I’m (Am7)eight (D)days (G)out.
The (Em)shadows keep shifting,
(Bbj7/F)Moving the lines,
Don’t (Am7)know where I’m going,
Though there are (D)plenty of signs. (D2) (D)
(G) (Gj7) (Am) (Am7) (D) (D4) (D)
I’ll (G)go through the motions and (Gj7)X off the days,
I’ll (Am)make up distractions, as (D)time burns away. (D4) (D)
(Cj7)Deep in this night I am (Bb)thinking too much,
(Am)You’re far away,(Am7) but I’m (D)feeling your (D4)to(D)uch.
(G)You’re what’s (Cj7)keeping me go(G)ing
Through the (Am)heartache, the (Am7)fears and the (D4)do(D)ubt.
(Em)I’ll be (B7)back, (Cj7)I’ll be (D)back,
(Am) But I’m (Am7)eight days (D)out, (D4)
(Em)I’ll be (Cj7)back, (Am7)I’ll be (D)back,
(Am) But I’m (Am7)eight (D)days (G)out. (Gj7) (Am) (Am7) (D) (D4) (D)

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year......more
