The Pilgrim: Chapter 33 chords
Start Jamming...
See him wasted on the sidewalk in his jacket and his jeans
[Db] Wearing yesterday's misfortunes [Ab] like a smile
[Db] Once he had a future full of [Cm] money, love and dreams
[Bb] Was he spent like they was [Bb] going [Eb] out of style
[Ab] And he keeps right on changing for the better or the worse
[Db] And searching for a [Eb] shrine he's [Ab] never found
[Db] Never knowing if we're leaving [Ab] his blessing or a curse
[Db] Or if the going up is worth [Ab] the coming down
[Db] He's a poet, he's a figure, [Ab] he's a prophet, he's a pusher
[Eb] He's a pilgrim and a preacher and a [Ab] problem when he's stoned
[Db] He's a walking contradiction, [Ab] partly truth, partly fiction
[Db] Taken every wrong [Eb] direction on [Db] his lonely way [Ab] back home
[A]
He has tasted good and evil in your bedrooms and your bars
[D] And he's traded in tomorrow [A] for today
Running from his [D] deviled lord [A] and reaching for the [Gbm] stars
[B] And losing only love [E] along the way
But [A] if this world keeps right on turning for the better or the [Db] worse
[D] And all he ever [E] gets is older [A] and round
[D] From the rocking of the cradle to [A] the rolling of the hearse
[D] The going up [E] is worth the coming [A] down
[D] He's a poet, he's a figure, [A] he's a prophet, he's a pusher
[E] He's a pilgrim and a preacher and a problem when [A] he's stoned
[D] He's a walking contradiction, [A] partly truth, partly fiction
[D] Taken every wrong [E] direction on his lonely [A] way back home
