       E7
By and by,
                         A
I'm breathing a lover's sigh.
           Bm7
Well, I'm sitting on my watch
                E7
So I can be on time
     A7             D  
I'm singing love's praises
      Dm            E
With sugar-coated rhyme.

       E7
By and by,
                       A
On you I'm casting my eye.
                  E7
I'm paintin' the town,
Swingin' my partner around
         Bm7
Well, I know who I can depend on,
               E7
I know who to trust
    A7             D  
I'm watchin' the roads,
      Dm          E
I'm studying the dust

                  E7
I'm paintin' the town
                   A    G#7
Making my last go round.

Chorus:
         C#7                  G#7
Well, I'm scuffling, and I'm shuffling
      C#7            A7   G#7
And I'm walking on briars
C#             G#7
I'm not even acquainted
    C#  G#      E7   E7
with my own  desires

I'm roamin' slow,
I'm doing all I know.
I'm telling myself
I've found true happiness,
That I've still got a dream
that hasn't been repossessed.
I'm roamin' slow
Going where the wild roses grow.

Chorus:
Well, the future for me
Is already a thing of the past
You were my first love
And you will be my last.
Papa gone mad,

Mama, she's feeling sad.
Well, I'm gonna baptize you in fire
So you can sin no more
I'm gonna establish my rule
Through civil war,
Gonn' make you see
Just how loyal and true a man can be!
