G
There's a man in a cheap suit
          C
Holding a beer can
                G
Standing on his back porch
                     D/F#
Looking out past the highway
                 Em
The sun is going down
              C
In a field of dry corn
                     G
And the slider keeps catching
                  D/F#
And the screen is torn



[Verse 2]

           G
His tie is loose
               C
His socks are thin
                  G
He shakes the can once
              D/F#
And goes back in
                     Em
He walks between his children
                   C
And the television glow
                   G
To the kitchen for another
                   D/F#
To the living room alone



[Verse 3]

                    Em
There's a knock-off Gibson
               C
Leaning in the corner
                     G
Where he left it the last time
             D/F#
He felt like this
                 G
He pushes on the tuners
                   C
With his eyes shut tight
                           Gm
Runs out a figure with his left hand
                       D/F#
Until the chord sounds right

[Bridge]

         A7sus4   Dsus4 Csus2 Em  Dsus4
When he sings     he    looks so  far away
             A7sus4 Dsus4 Csus2 Em     Dsus4                           Em
Like there's some - thing he    almost remembers, And doesn't know how to say

C     G     D/F#

[Outro]
                    G
I see him from the doorway
                       C
I see that look in his eye
                           G
And I know I'm going to go there
        D/F#               G
Where my father's dreams lie
