[A] I wish I hope I wonder where you're at sometimes
[Em] Is your back against the wall or just [A] across the line?
Have you been [Em] standing in the rain reciting [A] nursery rhymes?
Trying [Em] to recall some long lost kind of [A] peace of mind
[B] Peace of [D] mind
Try spending the [G] night sometime
All alone in [D] a frozen room
Afterneath [A] your blanket
You're saddled in [Em] the rain
[C]
[Am] [C]
[Em] I dreamed that life got up down [A] in my basement
And he waited there for me to have this accident
So he could drink my wine and eat me like a sacrament
I [E] just stood there like I do
[A] Then I came and went, I [D] came and went
Like a [G] bird before the sky
I couldn't [D] even say goodbye
I come and [A] share the pain
My saddles [Em] here to the right

[C] [Em] Saw a friend who doesn't know if [A] I'm his friend just yet
His [Em] eyes and mouth were widely open [A] and his jaw was set
Like [Em] he'd fell off a cliff and hadn't [A] hit the bottom yet
I [Em] wish he wouldn't pull those things on [A] me without a net
Without [D] a net
I had him up [G] to the house one time
We was having [D] a real good time
Then he [A] went lame
He's saddled [Em] in the rain

In a laundromat not too far [A] from the Alamo
[Em] Sits a girl who stole my record [A] very long ago
[Em] And she wishes once and a washes out [A] those dirty clothes
[Em] And she shut her eyes and dreamed about [A] a one-eyed Joe
One [D]-eyed Joe
A car parked on [G] a dirty road
Never knowed [D] the load she pulled
Couldn't take [A] the strain
Saddled in [Em] the rain
