4+20 - Stephen Stills







TUNING: E E E E B E

E<1>	<2>
Four and twenty years ago, I come into this life 

<3>	<4>
The son of a woman and a man who lived in strife 

G<5> <6>	A<7>
He was tired of bein' poor

G<5>	<6>	A<7>
And he wasn't into sellin' door to door

G<5>	<6>	A<7>
And he worked like the devil to be more





A different kind of poverty now upsets me so 

Night after sleepless night, I walk the floor 

And I want to know, why am I so alone?

Where is my woman, can I bring her home? 

Have I driven her away? Is she gone?





Morning comes the sunrise and I'm driven to my bed 

I see that it is empty and there's devils in my head 

I embrace the many-colored beast

I grow weary of the torment can there be no peace? 

And I find myself just wishing that my life would simply cease
