F5                                  G#5
  Two packs of cigarettes a day The strongest whiskey Kentucky can make
F5                            G#5             A#5
  That's the recipe  to put a vagabond on his hands and knees
F5                                                 G#5
  I watched it all up close   I knew it more than most
                                     F5
  I saw a side of him I could never show
                           G#5                 A#5
  for the sympathy   for a world that wouldn't let him be
C#5                     A#5
  That's the man he was   Have you heard enough?
F5        G#5          D#5              A#5                 F5
  What a shame What a shame to judge a life that you can't change
             G#5                    D#5               A#5              F5
  The choir sings the church bells ring so won't you give this man his wings
           G#5                            A#5               C#5
  what a shame to have to beg you to see we're not all the same
          F5
  What a shame

      F5                                               G#5
  There's a hard life for every silver spoon there's a   touch of grey for every   shade of blue
F5                                             G#5                           A#5
  That's the way that I see life if there was nothing wrong then there'd be nothing right
                                                   G#5                                        F5
  and for this working man they said could barely stand there's got to be a better place to land
                             G#5                A#5
  some kind of remedy for a world that wouldn't let him be

  that's the man he was have you heard enough

( A5  B5  C5  E5  D5 ) (2x)

  A5     B5       C5          E5      D5
  God forgive the hands that laid you down

  They never knew how,
  A5        B5    C5         E5       D5
  but your broken heart can break the sound

  And change the season
  A5
  Now the leaves are falling faster,
  G5
  Happily ever after
  A5
  You gave me hope through your endeavors
      A5  B5  C5   D5   E5 F#5 G5 
  And now you will live fo-re-ver
