G             C/G                 G
Oh I was sent to find the lonesome place
            C/G                 Am                      
Where I was lost but left to trace
           Em            C        D , D4 or D7 , your call
By carving riddles on the lonesome vine
       G               C/G              G
Oh but rumor has it that I wasn't born
                C/G                  Am
I just walked in one frosty morn
          Em            C        D , D4 or D7 , your call
Into the vision of some vacant mind

   G             C/G           G        C/G
Oh once I held a pony by its flagging mane
   G                  C/G             G       C/G
And once I called the shadow in the turning game
    C      Bm        Am                        G
But I will fight this stranger that you should fear
   C       Bm   Am                 G     G/C and repeat
So I won't be a burden of tomorrow dear


Aww Xavier's on the border of the sun
     
Swings on the chambers of your guns
         
And tries to shoot the chord and light the path

Aww but hell I'm just a blind man on the plains
          
I drink my water when it rains
          
And live by chance among the lightning strikes

Oh once I held a glacier to an open flame
And once I felt like wildcat in the fallen game
But I will fight this stranger that you should fear
So I won't be a burden of tomorrow dear

Oh the singer's on the edge to feed the canyon's mouth
They will go on forever til they sing you out of time
But I will fight this stranger that you should fear
So I won't be a burden of tomorrow dear
