Verse 1
(G major) 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
Wearing yes (C major) terday's
misfortunes like a (G major) smile
Once (C major) he had a future
Full of (G major) money, love, and dreams
(E minor) Which he (A major) spent like they was
gold and out of style (D major)
And he (G major) keeps right on a -changin'
For the better or the worse
(C major) Searchin' for a (D major) shrine
he's never found (G major)
Never (C major) knowin' if believin'
Is a (G major) blessing or a curse
If a (C major) goin' up was (D major) worth
a comin' down (G major)
He's a (C major) po et, he's a picker
He's a proph (G major) et, he's a pusher
He's (D major) a pilgrim and a preacher
And a problem when he's (G major) stoned
He's a (C major) walking contradiction
Partly truth (G major) and partly fiction
Takin' (D major) ever wrong direction
On his lonely way back (G major) home (A major)
He has tasted good and evil
in your bedrooms and your bars
And he's (D major) trading in
tomorrow for today (A major)
Running (D major) from his devil's lord,
(A major) reaching for the stars (F sharp minor)
Los (B major) ing all the love along the way (E major)
But if this (A major) world keeps right on turning,
for the better or the worse,
and all he (D major) ever gets is (E major) older and around, (A major)
from the (D major) rocking of the cradle
to the (A major) rolling of the hearse,
the going up (D major) was (E major) worth
the coming down. (A major)
He's a (D major) poet.
He's a picker.
He's a bluffin'. (A major)
He's a pusher, he's (E major) a pilgrim,
and a preacher,
and a problem when it's (A major) stoned.
He's a (D major) walking contradiction,
partly truth (A major) and partly fiction,
taking (E major) ever wrong direction
on his lonely way back (A major) home.
(E major) There's a lot of wrong direction
on that lonely way back (A major) home.
you
