The Pilgrim, Chapter 33 chords by Kris Kristofferson
Verse 1
G
I started writing this song
about Chris Gantry.
Ended up writing about Dennis Hopper,
Johnny Cash,
Norman Norbert,
Funky Donnie Fritt,
Billy Swine,
Bobby Neuwerth,
Jerry Jeff Walker,
and Paul Seaborn.
Ramblin' Jack Elliot
had a lot to do with it.
See him wasted on the sidewalk
In his jacket and his jeans
C
Wearing yesterday's
G
misfortunes like a smile
C
Once he had a future
G
Full of money, love, and dreams
Em
A
Which he spent like they was
D
gold and out of style
G
And he keeps right on a -changin'
For the better or the worse
C
D
Searchin' for a shrine
G
he's never found
C
Never knowin' if believin'
G
Is a blessing or a curse
C
D
If a goin' up was worth
G
a comin' down
C
He's a po et, he's a picker
G
He's a prophet, he's a pusher
D
He's a pilgrim and a preacher
G
And a problem when he's stoned
C
He's a walking contradiction
G
Partly truth and partly fiction
D
Takin' ever wrong direction
G
A
On his lonely way back home
He has tasted good and evil
in your bedrooms and your bars
D
And he's trading in
A
tomorrow for today
D
Running from his devil's lord,
A
F#m
reaching for the stars
B
E
Losing all the love along the way
A
But if this world keeps right on turning,
for the better or the worse,
D
E
A
and all he ever gets is older and around,
D
from the rocking of the cradle
A
to the rolling of the hearse,
D
E
the going up was worth
A
the coming down.
D
He's a poet.
He's a picker.
A
He's a bluffin'.
E
He's a pusher, he's a pilgrim,
and a preacher,
A
and a problem when it's stoned.
D
He's a walking contradiction,
A
partly truth and partly fiction,
E
taking ever wrong direction
A
on his lonely way back home.
E
There's a lot of wrong direction
A
on that lonely way back home.
