Verse 1
G 
Am 
On a
Dm 
C 
F 
race huddled near East 53rd
G 
His life in a pile
C 
not too far from the curb
Am 
C 
It's come down to this place,
F 
but he's not deterred
G 
C 
G 
The honoree's huddled near East 53rd
Am 
D 
C 
The honoree sits on the Lower East Side
F 
G 
C 
He's lost about everything
except for his pride
Am 
C 
A man with a vision, the vision's denied
F 
G 
C 
And Honoré sits  on the
G 
Lower East Side
Am 
C 
They used to say Honoré
Em 
wasn't all there
Am 
C 
He'd a penchant for speeches
G 
and thousand -yard
E 
Dm 
F 
They said that he'd fought
G 
C

Am 
Sometimes he  would weep,
D 
G 
Am 
D 
G 
and he'd whisper a yell
Am 
C 
Now Honoré's buried in
some pauper's grave
F 
G 
Of his archives,
C 
there wasn't much left to be saved
Am 
C 
Of forty -nine boxes of
F 
books hauled away
G 
C 
And a deed for some land
G 
near a place called Duck Lake
Am 
C 
And Donneray was all he said,
so it seemed
F 
G 
The last act of life
C 
left him far from his dreams
Am 
They took it away,
C 
F 
and it can't be redeemed
G 
C 
And Honoré was all he said,
G 
so it seemed
Am 
C 
They used to say on a rain
Em 
wasn't all there
Am 
C 
He'd a penchant for speeches,
G 
E 
a thousand -yard stares
F 
They said that he'd fought
G 
C 
when some half -breeds rebelled
Am 
Sometimes he  would weep
G 
Am 
and he'd whisper
Sometimes he would weep,
G 
and he'd whisper,
