Shawn Phillips - "I'm A Loner" chords
Start Jamming...
Well I've sat meet the shade of an old apple orchard and watched the big trucks rolling by
I've shared a grape soda with a man from Dakota and [D] seen a jukebox [C#m] in July
I'm [F#m] a drifter, oh [D] Lord, I'm a [C#m] whore, [F#m] and I've [B] seen every [F#] village and [C#] town
[F#]
I've passed by a [Bm] hearing, oh [C#] Lord, I'll die [F#m] a hearing, [E] then some [D] stranger will blow [C#]
a whore
[F#m] Well
[G#] [F#m] I've slept in your rains and I've slept in your hails
I've screamed at my herd while I've slept in your jails
I've heard the lone wail of a slow [F#] eastbound freighter
[D] Then wished I could [C#m] die to go meet my saviour
[F#m] I'm a drifter, oh Lord, I'm a [C#m] loner, and [F#m] I've seen every village and [C#] town
I've passed [E] by a [F#m] hearing, oh [C#] Lord, I'll die a hearing, then [E] some stranger [D]
will [C#] blow a
[F#m]
whore
I've shared silent thoughts with your children and barbers
I've sung to the stars while a jukebox was playing
[D] Then fought back the [C#] tears that come when I'm saying
[F#m] I'm a drifter, oh [F#] Lord, [D] I'm a [C#m] loner, and [F#m] I've seen every village [D] [C#] and town
[F#m] I've passed [Em] by a [D] hearing, [G#m] oh Lord, I'll die [F#m] a hearing, then [F#] some stranger [D] will blow [C#]
a whore
[F#m]
I've made love in your cities to the poor and the pretty
Then thought myself lucky and smart
And ended up lonely with nothing [C#] but only [D] a song and a [C#] half-broken heart
[F#m] I'm a drifter, [A] oh Lord, I'm a loner, [C#] and [F#m] I've seen [E] every [D] village and [C#] town
[F#m] I've passed by a hearing, oh [C#] Lord, I'll die [F#m] a hearing, then [E] some [D] stranger will blow [C#m] a whore
[F#m] Well, I've played basketball through the hoop of a barrel
And struggled to learn how to swim
And once was a baby, sometimes [G#] I think [D] maybe I only pretend [C#] I was him
I'm [F#] a drifter, oh Lord, [D] I'm a [C#] loner, [F#m] and I've seen [G#] every village [C#] and town
[F#m] I've passed by a [D] hearing, [C#m] oh Lord, I'll die a [F#m] hearing, then some [C#m] stranger [D] will blow a [C#] whore
Beat it down
