There's a man who walks beside me, he is who I used to be
[E]
And I wonder if she sees him and confuses him with me
And I wonder who she's pining for on nights I'm not around
Could it be the man who did the things I'm living [A] down
[C#m] I was rougher than the timber [E] shipping out of Fond du Lac
When [F#] I headed [E] south at [A] seventeen, a sheriff on my [E] mind
[C#m] I never held a [B] lover [E] in my arms or in my gaze
So I found another victim every couple [A] days
[E] But [C#m]
the night I fell in love [G#m] with her [E] I made my weakness known
To the fighters and the [A] farmers digging dusty fields alone
[C#m]
The jealous [B] innuendo [E] of the lonely hearted men
Let me [F#m] know what [E] kind of country I was sleeping [A] in
[C#m] Well you couldn't stay loner [E] on the plains before the war
[F#m] When my neighbors took [E] to slighting me I had to ask why
[C#m] Rumors of my [B] wickedness [E] had reached our little town
Soon [F#] she [E] heard about the boys I used [A] to hang around
[E] [F#m] [C#m] We'd robbed a great lake, sprayed [E] her kale, and a couple men aboard
When I [A] told [E] her her eyes flickered like the sharp steel of a sword
All [C#m] the things that she'd suspected [E] I'd expected her to fear
Was the [F#m] truth that [E] drew her to me when I landed here
[A] [C#m] There's a man who walks beside [E] me, he is who I used to be
And [F#m] I wonder [E] if she sees him and confuses him with me
[C#m] I wonder who she's pining for [E] all nights I'm not around
Could [F#] it be the [E] man who did the [B] things I'm [E] living [A] down

Well I carved her cross from live [E] oak and her box from shortleaf pine
[F#m] And buried [E] her so deep she touched the water [A] table [E] line
[C#m] And picked up what I needed [E] and I headed south again
To myself [F#m] I [E] wonder would I ever find another friend
[A] [C#m] There's a man who walks [E] beside me, he is who I used to be
