Chords for Bruce Hornsby, The Noisemakers - Fortunate Son (Live at Town Hall, New York City, 2004)

_ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Db] Sitting, wondering, watching a [Gb] love parade [Bbm] in my ever [Ab] _
[Eb]-present chair.
[Ebm] _ [Db] People laughing and smiles all [Gb] around me, looms and [Ab] paper [Eb] in my hair.
[Ab] _ There's a man in [Bbm] a car with [Gb] the top [Ab] down, waving wildly [Gb] at [Eb] me.
_ _ [Eb] Poor son [Bbm] of a gun, I [Gb] know he's [Ab] thinking, better him, him [Ebm] than [Db] me.
I stared down the double, and had [Ab] to look [Gb] away.
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ Called out to the angels, [Ebm] but [Db] no one ever [Gb] came.
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ Laid down on an even [Eb] but double zero [Gb] _
plane.
[Db] It's alright, [Ebm] I'm a lucky [Eb] one.
_ _ _ _ Oh, [Ab] _
such a fortunate son.
_ _ [Db] _ _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] I was [Ab] always taught well, [Db] taught [Gb] well, to be the [Ab] strong one and keep [Ebm] it inside.
_ [Ab] Sometimes I sit beside the [Gb] freeway, and [Ab] howl out of [Eb] dark, dark sky.
[Ab] _ I might [Bbm] just have to go out [Gb] and burn [Ab] one.
Have a drink [Eb] on refuse, _ _ [Ab] and [Bb] fade away in a cloudy [Gb] haze of [Ab] smoke.
Give the old [Gb] man's best [Eb] salute.
[Db] _ I stared down the double, and [Ab] had to look [Gb] away.
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ Called out to the angels, [Bbm] but no [Ab] one ever [Gb] came.
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ Laid down on an even but [Ab] double [Gb] zero plane.
_ It's alright, [Ebm] I'm a lucky one.
_ _ _ [Gb] Oh, _ [Ab] such a fortunate son.
_ [Db] _ _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [Db] _ _ _

[Fm] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ I might just have [Bb] to go out and burn one.
Have a drink [Gb] on refuse, [Ebm] and [Eb] _ fade away [Bbm] in a cloudy [Gb] haze of [Ab] smoke.
Give the old [Gb] man's best salute.
[Db] _ I stared down the double, and [Ab] had to look [Gb] away. _ _
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ Called out to the [Eb] angels, but [Ab] no one [Gb] ever came. _
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ Laid down on an even [Eb] but [Ab] double [Gb] zero plane.
_ It's [Ebm] alright, I'm a lucky one. _
[Eb] _ _ [Db] _ [Gb] _ Oh, [Ab] such a fortunate son.
[Db] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ There is no pain, you are a real [Ab] city. _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ [Db] _ A distant ship, smoke on [Ab] the horizon. _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ [B] You are only coming through [Gb] in waves. _ _ _
_ [B] Oh, your lips move, but I can't hear a [Gb] thing. _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ [Db] When I was a child, I [Ab] had a fever.
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ [Db] My head felt just a night [Eb]
too [Ab] blue. _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] Now I've got that feeling once [Gb] again.
I can't explain to you [B] without _ understanding.
This is not how I _ _ _ _ _ used [Ab] to feel.
And _ I _ _ _
[B] _ _ have [Gb] become _ [Db] comfortably numb.
_ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
Okay, okay, okay, just [Ab] a little imprisoned.
_ _ _ There'll be [Gb] no more, _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] if you're gonna let us egg.
[Ab] Can [Bbm] you stand up, stand up, stand up?
I do [Ab] believe it's working, _ _ good.
That'll [Gb] keep you going for [Ebm] the show.
_ [Bbm] Come on, it's time to go.
[Ab] _ _ _ [Db] _
There is no pain, you are a real [Ab] city.
_ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ A distant ship, [Db] smoke on [Ab] the horizon.
_ _ _ _ _ [B] You are only coming through [Gb] in waves.
_ _ _ Oh, [B] your lips move, but I can't hear a [Gb] thing. _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ [Db] When I was a child, I caught [Ab] a fleeting glimpse.
A fleeting [Gb] glimpse _ [Db] _ out of the corner [Gb] of my [Ab] _ _ _
eye.
_ [Bbm] _ _ [B] I turned to look, but it [Gb] was gone.
I cannot put my fingers [B] on it now.
The child has gone, [Gb] the fever's gone. _
_ [Ab] Oh, and I _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ have [Gb] become _ [Bb] comfortably numb. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] Comfortably numb.
[Fm] _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Ab] _ I might just [Bbm] have to go [Gb] by and _ [Ab] _ have a drink or [Gb] a few. _
[Eb] Yes, fade away, fade away in [Bbm] a cloud of haze of [Ab] smoke.
You'll be home as [Gb] they're through.
[Db] _ I've stepped down the tower, _ [Ab] and I took [Gb] a way. _ _ _ _
[Db] _ Called out to the angels, [Eb] but no one ever [Gb] came. _ _ _
[Db] Yes, laid down on a fever, but the [Ab] bluesy [Gb] road played.
_ And it's all [Ebm] right, I'm a lucky one, yeah.
_ _ [Gb] _
Oh, [Ab] such a fortunate, _ _ _ such _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ a fortunate _
[Ab] _ soul.
_ _ _ [Ebm] _ _
_ [Abm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ Ooooooh.
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
