Verse 1
D 
Em 
The white, white open sky
G 
D 
Em 
G 
Above the sage and the thorns
D 
Em 
The rocks and pines were hum ming
G 
D 
An old familiar tune
His hard black boots came
Em 
G 
D 
crunching up  this gravel road
Em 
He saw the house a mile away,
G 
D 
the moon was just setting
Em 
G 
The nights were darker then
D 
Em 
G 
Lights in the living room
D 
He could recall that the
Em 
G 
TV  was on,
D 
Em 
G 
but not if anyone was watching
A 
G 
D 
He never thought of himself as cruel
A 
G 
D 
A 
He never thought of himself at all
G 
D 
A 
Kindness was always outside his grasp
D 
C 
G 
D 
He was the meanest man in the world
Em 
G 
D 
He was the meanest man in the world
The door wasn't really locked,
Em 
G 
D 
the fireplace was burned in
Em 
The room exploded like a bomb,
G 
D 
but all in slow motion
Em 
Bicycles hung from the roof,
G 
D 
he remembered someone weeping
Em 
Though it was sticky on the road,
G 
D 
he just kept on walking
Em 
He never closed a door,
G 
D 
Em 
G 
he never turned off a light
D 
He left things pretty much
Em 
the way they were
G 
D 
Em 
G 
After he did what he did that night
A 
G 
D 
He never thought of himself as cruel
A 
G 
D 
A 
He never thought of himself at all
G 
D 
A 
Kindness was always outside his grasp
C 
G 
D 
He was the meanest man in the world
Em 
G 
A 
D 
He was the meanest man in the world
Em 
G 
D 
He was the meanest man in the world
