[E]In the darkest hour [A]of the [B]longest [E]night
[E]If it was in my power I'd [A]step in[B]to the [E]light
[E]Candles on the alter, [A]penny [B]in your [E]shoe
[E]Walk upon the water, [A]transcen[B]dental [E]blues
Happy ever after 'til the day you die
Careful what you ask for, you don't know 'til you try
Hands are in your pockets, starin' at your shoes
Wishin' you could stop it ' transcendental blues
If I had it my way, everything would change
Out here on this highway the rules are still the same
Back roads never carry you where you want 'em to
They leave you standin' there with them ol' transcendental blues
