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

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