Verse 1
(D major) (G major) (D major) This is a true story
of the (A major) loneliest picture of
life I've ever seen.
The (D major) date, 9 -29 -73,
(G major) Memphis, (D major) Tennessee.
(A major) A cardboard pil (D major) low and
a concrete bed.
That's where (G major) the old man lays his (D major) head
A (A major) lonely (D major) soul that no one (G major) needs
On a cardboard pil (D major) low
to (A major) rhyme to sleep (D major)
I stood there (A major) in (D major) sorrow
as he tried to (G major) speak
But the old man just (D major) mumbled God,
he was too (A major) weak
from all the (D major) road that his life had (G major) led
To this cardboard pil (D major) low
and (A major) this concrete (D major) bed
I stood (G major) there thinking,
that maybe someday, (D major)
this might be (G major) me,
where this old man (D major) lay.
I wondered how (G major) many
dreams (D major) and heartaches
the old man went through
to get where he (A major) lay.
Then I said a (D major) prayer,
and I left him (G major) to sleep
On his cardboard pil (D major) low
an (A major) d his bed of concrete
(G major) (D major) (D major)
God bless you, sir, wherever you sleep.
