Verse 1
D 
Bm 
D 
Bm 
I  was
D 
born just out
Bm 
of town and I never could get in.
D 
Bm 
So I turned to traveling around where the
nights fade and the days begin.
F#m 
G 
They called me a hobo but I never
F#m 
took that name and they called
G 
Told me a pilgrim, but I was not to blame
D 
As I wandered through
A 
the tall pines and the
clay
Bm 
A 
G 
Trying to put a hurry up on
Judgment
D 
Bm 
D 
Bm 
Day
D 
Well, they jailed me in
St.
Louis
Bm 
Cause I   was easy prey
D 
And  everyone was happy
Bm 
To go home early that day
F#m 
Till it was just  me and my cellmate
G 
Staring eye to eye
F#m 
And then he started laughing, saying,
G 
Let me guess, you're not the guy.
D 
A 
He offered me a cigarette.
Bm 
A 
As I reached, he pulled away, saying,
G 
You never get a last request
D 
Bm 
D 
Bm 
Till it's judgment day.
D 
Her eyes, were flawed diamonds,
Bm 
she said, that's the price of fame
D 
But all the girls are beautiful,
A 
Bm 
all the women look the same
F#m 
And     all the men come courting
G 
me because I'm the final one
F#m 
And they give their names so quietly,
G 
just like you might have done
D 
A 
And names are just the final thing
Bm 
a man must give away
G 
And you'll pass yours on so willingly when
D 
G 
Bm 
D 
it comes judgment day
Bm 
D 
But I heard her sing a melody
Bm 
from a window in the jail
D 
And I knew the day I broke out
Bm 
she'd cov er up my trail
F#m 
Expecting nothing more than
G 
the name I tried to toss
F#m 
Staring into  my heart with the eyes of
G 
St.
John of the
Cross
D 
A 
Wondering if I'd return again,
Bm 
but it don't work out that way
A 
G 
Once you've turned your back and the
rope goes slack around
Judgment
D 
Bm 
D 
Bm 
Day
D 
It was long out on the
Great
Bm 
Plains, with nowhere left to go
D 
The road was full of nothing,
Bm 
and the sky was full of snow
F#m 
I've seen  this road before,
G 
in the sun and rain and wind
F#m 
But I don't need  it anymore,
G 
let that be my only sin
D 
A 
For whatever the next motel costs,
Bm 
I'll be glad to pay
A 
G 
And  I'll hide out till I hear that
song that calls me
Judgment
D 
Bm 
D 
Bm 
Day
D 
you
