Twenty years ago, saw a friend walking by  

       G                 Dsus4             G          
And I stopped him on the street to ask him how it went

    Csus2
And all he did was cry

  G                 Dsus4       G                Csus2
I looked him in the face, but I couldn’t see past his eyes

 G                 Dsus4                 G            Csus2
Asked him what the problem was, he says “Here is your disguise”

          G             Dsus4     G            Dsus4       Csus2
Now he’s hardly getting over it, hardly getting used to getting by

G             Dsus4      G             Dsus4        Csus2      Dsus4
Hardly getting over it,  hardly getting used to getting by    by it

G       Dsus4     G         Csus2                              
Old man lays down by the railroad tracks

       G            Dsus4          G        Csus2
Got no paper in his pocket, got no paper on his back 

   G                 Dsus4              G            Csus2
I asked him what the time was, he says “Hit the road now Jack”

G                Dsus4               G               Csus2
Went back to see him next week,  he died of a heart attack and died away

          G             Dsus4     G            Dsus4       Csus2
Now he’s hardly getting over it, hardly getting used to getting by

G             Dsus4      G             Dsus4        Csus2      Dsus4
Hardly getting over it,  hardly getting used to getting by    by it

G                Dsus4    G           Csus2
Grandma, she got sick,   she is going to die

     G             Dsus4                 G             Csus2
And Grandpa had a seizure, moved into a hotel cell and died away

    G                 Dsus4             G            Csus2       
My parents, they just wonder when they both are going to die    

     G            Dsus4   G        Csus2
And what do I do            when they die?

         G             Dsus4     G            Dsus4       Csus2
Now I'm hardly getting over it, hardly getting used to getting by

G             Dsus4      G             Dsus4        Csus2      Dsus4
Hardly getting over it,  hardly getting used to getting by    by it
