F             G               F         G
Penniless and tired, with your hair grown long
      Dm             Am             Em          F
I was looking at you there and your face looked wrong
C           Dm     Em      F
Memory is a fickle siren's song
  G
I didn't understand


[Verse 2]

F           G            F       G
In the gentle light as the morning nears
          Dm           Am           Em       F
You don't say a single word of your last two years
         C       Dm     Em          F
Where you were or when you reached the frontier
   G
I didn't understand, no

[Verse 3]

F                 G           F      G
See your rugged hands and a silver knife
       Dm              Am            Em      F
Twenty dollars in your hand makes you hold so tight
        C        Dm      Em      F
All the evidence of your vacant life
   G
My brother, you were gone


[Verse 4]

F                   G           F   G
And you will try to do what you did before
         Dm             Am          Em      F
Pull the wool over your eyes, for a week or more
         C      Dm       Em      F
Let your family take you back to your
G
Original mind.

There's nothing I can do
        F             C
There's nothing I can do

There's nothing I can say
        F             C
There's nothing I can say
