Jason Mason hears the sound
DD(add9)D5D(add9)A(no E)
The whistle blows in Congotown
GAD
and the mail boat's in
GAD
Mail boat's in
DD(add9)Dsus4DD(add9)
Brings him things from oh so far
DD(add9)D5D(add9)A(no E)
Old magazines and Snickers bars
GA
A simple man
GA
A simple land
GAGA
The world's to big to understand

Be good and you will be lonesome
DGA
Be lonesome and you will be free
DGD
Live a lie and you'll live to regret it
DGDA
That's what living is to me
AGAD
That's what living is to me
On a timeless beach in Hispanola
Young girl sips a diet cola
She?s worlds apart
Worlds apart
The sprit of the black king still
Reverberates through Haitian hills
He rules the sea and all the fish
What if he had a T.V. dish
Chorus
Be good and you will be lonesome
Be lonesome and you will be free
Live a lie and you'll live to regret it
That's what living is to me
That's what living is to me
EmBm
In the far off regions the foreign legions
GA
Keep the thieves and the predators at bay
EmBm
While closer to home, some bad boys still roam
GA
The streets aren't safe, so give it one more day
AGGEmGA
One more day
The stories from my favorite books
Still take on many different looks
And now I'm gone
Home again
The time has come the Walrus said
And little oysters hide their heads
My Twain of thought is loosely bound
I guess it's time to Mark this down
Chorus
Be good and you will be lonesome
Be lonesome and you will be free
Live a lie and you'll live to regret it
That's what living is to me
That's what living is to me
That's what living is to me
That's what living is to me
