Verse 1
(G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) This (G major) is for our friends
at Seven Hills Homeless Shelter.
Happened in Indianapolis,
but it could happen here or anywhere.
On a cold autumn morning,
in the (D major) green before (G major) dawn,
I (C major) was wandering aimless,
trying to stay (G major) warm.
Sleepless (C major) and ragged,
sad and (G major) alone
In Indianapolis without (D major) a (G major) home
Just an old woman living (D major) out on the street
(G major) Like (C major) so many others with
no food (G major) to eat
Accepting (C major) scraps from the dumpsters,
undone and (G major) unknown,
Indeed, a life without a home. (A major)
I spied a big trash bin
outside (E major) a motel,
(A major) And (D major) shivering I climbed in to sleep for a spell (A major)
I put the (D major) lid back upon it,
curled up with a cold (A major) moan
In Indianapolis without (E major) a (A major) home
My blurry eyes closed up,
my mind (E major) faded away
(A major) Into (D major) a deep sleep in the quiet before (A major) dawn
My (D major) weary heart found rest
in a land of its own
(A major) In Indianapolis without (E major) a home (A major) (C major)
And while I was sleeping,
a (G major) trash truck rolled (C major) up
And a (F major) man dumped the garbage
in the back of the truck (C major)
Where (F major) it was compressed down,
crushing my (C major) bones
In Indianapolis, without (G major) a (C major) home (D major)
What's down at the trash pits,
they burn (A major) what you don't (D major) need
Old food (G major) scraps and newspapers
and the shards of your (D major) greed
The truck (G major) dumped out my body,
on the heap it was (D major) thrown
Indianapolis without (A major) a (D major) home
Workers saw my dead body
and they (A major) lifted it (D major) out
And a (G major) few said a prayer,
some talked (D major) about
The neglected, (G major) the homeless,
but my spirit had (D major) flown
Far from Indianapolis
to (A major) its true (D major) home (G major)
Well, the sun it rose up
and shone down (D major) upon all (G major)
Of the (C major) sleepers awakening
behind windows an (G major) d walls
And down (C major) in the streets wandering,
the windows
This (G major) song of the homeless,
who (D major) must have a (G major) home.
