ITS ALL GONE
F C Bb F
F C Bb F
Bb F
Bb F
Bb F C F

Busted drunk in New Orleans
without a dime or a dollar in my pocket of my jeans
Nighttimes spent howling at the moon
Laughing & joking with friends on evenings ending too soon
Of a lifetime of messed up dreams
Busting with life breaking at the seams
Know life was to live and be seen
It's all gone
It's all gone
It's all gone
It's all gone

Daylight light came roaring in like a sin
I remember my body aching from within
Days too bright to open your eyes
but the nighttime came to make you arise
Like the Pheonix flying up through the ashes you burned
Flying high every night into the absurd
A lifetime of messed up dreams
Knowing life was to be lived and to be seen
It's all gone
It's all gone

Break

The alarm breaks out that sound that smashes up dreams
Back to reality of being back on the scene
Chipping away at this coal face of life
With the craziness of my youth left whey behind
Something had to give
some thing had to give
some thing had to give
its all gone
its all gone
its all gone
its all gone
its all gone
its all gone
its all gone
its all gone

I love your 12 string guitar too, it sounds great.

Hauntingly understated, lovely!

A sad reflective song lyrically but presented so well, Reg. The emotive delivery of that vocal track and the excellent lyrics create the perfect atmosphere for this song.

Reg, Great song, tone, vibe, and feel. I can relate to the story as well.

Fun to play along with also since you left a nice spot for a mellow lead.

I guess we all have a little of that story in us, as we grow older. Very well stated, in an intimate and emotional manner. Sadly missing those days, but with no regrets. Nicely done.
