Chords for Kris Kristofferson - "The Pilgrim" [Live from Austin, TX]

_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ He wasted on the sidewalk in his jacket and his jeans [F] wearing yesterday's
misfortune [C] like a smile _ _
[F] Once he had a future [Am] full of money and love and [D] dreams
But he spent like they was going out [G] of style _ _
[C] And he keeps right on a change for the better or the worse
[F] searching [G] for a shrine he's [C] never found _ _
[F] Never knowing if believing [C] is a blessing or a curse
[F] Or if the going [G] up is worth [C] the coming down _
[F] He's a poet.
He's a picker.
[C] He's a prophet.
He's a pusher
[G] He's a pilgrim man a preacher and a problem [C] when he's stoned
[F] He's a walking contradiction
[C] partly truth and part fiction
[G] Taking every wrong direction on his lonely way [C] back home
He _ [D] _ _ _ has tasted good and evil in your [Am] bedrooms and [D] your bars
And [G] he's trading in tomorrow for [D] today
Running _ [G]
from his devil's [D] Lord and reaching for [Bm] the star
[E] Then losing all he loved along [A] the way
[D] But if this world keeps right on turning for the better or the worse
[G] And all he ever [A] gets is older [D] and around
_ [G] Swap the rocking of the cradle to [D] the rolling of the hearse
[G] The going up [A] was worth the coming [D] down _ _
[G] He's a poet.
He's a liar.
[D] He's a prophet.
He's a dreamer
[A] He's a pilgrim man a preacher
And a problem when [D] he's stoned
[G] He's a walking contradiction
[D] partly truth and partly fiction
[A] Taking every wrong direction on his lonely [D] way back home
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ Thank you _ _
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
