Chorus 1
There's a man who walks beside me
It is who I used to be
And I wonder if she sees him
and confuses him with me
And I wonder who she's pinin' for
on nights I'm not around
Could it be (D minor) the man who (C major) did the things
I'm (F major) living now

I was (A minor) rougher than a timber
(G major) shippin' out (C major) of Fond du Lac

in (G major) my arms (C major) or in my gaze
So I found (D minor) another vic (C major) tim every cou (F major) ple days

We'd (A minor) robbed a Great Lakes freighter,
