[F]
Well he woke up that morning and he called into work
Put on his daddy's old suit with his second hand [Bb] shirt
All [Gm] untucked, shoes untied
[F] The people all snickered as he [C] walked by
So [Bb] he stopped [Gm] in a bar
And bought a shot of Stevens [F] and another
He [Bb] bummed a [Gm] cigarette and said
Talking with a stranger [F] about the weather
And [D] then he paid his bill and [C] he stepped outside
[F] Fell down into [Bb] the street
[F] He cursed and he cried [C] as he climbed back up [Bb] to his feet again
[C] So [F] up the road he found a paperman called his mom
He said, Mama, I think I'll be coming home
[Bb] I've been feeling so bad, I'm tired of this city
[F] Ain't been the same since I lost [G] my pretty [Bb] Angeline
Mama, [G] I miss her [F] so
It's [Bb] been over [Gm] a year and [Bb] there ain't nothing [G] I fear so [F] much as being alone
[Am] And [Dm] then he hung up the phone without [C] saying goodbye
[F] Stopped in a store and bought [Bb] a postcard and signed [F] it fairly well
[C] And sent it back home [Bb] to you, Mom
[C] Well [F] [C] [Dm] looking [C] back I'd say
[Bb] It wasn't so much [F] the girl
[Bb] As it was [F] the booze and the dope and [C] the way
He took the weight of the world up [C] upon his [Dm] shoulders
And [Bb] let it wash the blue from his eyes as he grew [F] colder
[Bb] Through all those lonely [C] nights there left [D] alone
[C] So [F] he was just 23 when he stepped out on that ledge
It was his weary heart that pushed him to the edge
He [Bb] was tired of living life and looking for love
[F] A weary heart just needs a little touch and [Bb] is there too much to ask?
He cried as [G] he stepped into the [F] wind
He [Bb] turned his back on the world and fell back to earth [F] again
So [C] [Dm] with the wind in his hair and [C] a smile on his face
[F] He cried through the hood [Bb] of an old 98
And [F] he laid there dying [C] on a cold winter's day [Bb] All alone [C] [F] All alone
Well he woke up that morning and he called into work
Put on his daddy's old suit with his second hand [Bb] shirt
All [Gm] untucked, shoes untied
[F] The people all snickered as he [C] walked by
So [Bb] he stopped [Gm] in a bar
And bought a shot of Stevens [F] and another
