Lyrics:
C# Bb C# Bb C# Bb C# Bb
I don't know just where I'm going
C# Bb C# Bb C#
But I'm gonna try for the kingdom if I can
Bb C#
Cuz it makes me feel like I'm a man
Bb C#
When I put a spike into my vein
Bb C#
Then, I tell ya', things aren't quite the same
Bb C#
When I'm rushin' on my run
Bb C#
And I feel just like Jesus' son
Bb C#
And I guess that I just don't know
Bb C#
And I guess that I just don't know
C# Bb C# Bb C# Bb C# Bb
I have made big decisions
C# Bb C# Bb C#
I'm gonna try to nullify my life
Bb C#
Cuz when the blood begins to flow
Bb C#
When it shoots up the dropper's neck
Bb C#
When I'm closing in on death
After this line, Morrison interjects with a riff B, which is to be repeated as necessary:

Bb C#
And you can't help me, not you guys
Bb C#
Or all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk
Bb C#
You can all go take a walk
Bb C#
And I guess I just don't know
Bb C#
And I guess that I just don't know
C# Bb C# Bb C# Bb C# Bb
I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
C# Bb C# Bb C#
I wish that I'd sailed the darkened seas
Bb C#
On a great big clipper ship
Bb C#
Going from this land here to that
Bb C# Bb C# Bb
Ah, in a sailor's suit and cap
C# Bb C#
Away from the big city
Bb C#
Where a man cannot be free
Bb C#
Of all of the evils of this town
Bb C#
And of himself and those around
Bb C#
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know
Bb C#
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know
C# Bb C#
Heeeeeroin
Bb C# Bb C# Bb
Be the death of me
C# Bb C#
Heeeeeroin
Bb C#
It's my wife and it's my life
Bb C#
Because a mainline to my vein
Bb C#
Leads to a center in my head
Bb C#
And then I'm better off as dead
Bb C#
Because when the smack begins to flow
Bb C#
Ah, I really don't care anymore
Bb C#
About all the jim-jims in this town
Bb C#
And all the politicians makin' busy sounds
Bb C#
And everybody puttin' everybody else down
Bb C#
And all the dead bodies piled up in Nam
Play riff B a few times
Bb C#
Cuz when the smack begins to flow
Bb C#
Then I really don't care anymore
Bb C#
Ah, when that heroin is in my blood
Bb C#
And that blood is in my head
Bb C#
Then thank god that I'm good as dead
Bb C#
And thank your god that I'm not aware
Bb C#
And thank god that I just don't care
Bb C#
And I guess I just don't know
Bb C#
Ah, and I guess I just don't know
End on Db
