Chords for The Pilgrim (Chapter 33) - Jerry Lee Lewis & Kris Kristofferson

_ _ [D] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ See him wasted on the sidewalk _ in his jacket and his jeans
_ [F] Wearing _ yesterday's _ misfortunes [C] like a _ smile
_ _ _ _ Once he had a future full [C] of money, love, and [Am] dreams
Which [D] he spent like they were going [G] out of _ style
_ _ [C] _ And he keep right on changing _ for the better or the worse
_ _ [F] _
Searching for [G] a shrine he's never [C] _
found
_ _ _ Never [F]
knowing if believing _ [C] is a blessing _ or a curse
Or if [F] the going up [G] was worth the coming [C] _ down
_ _ _ He's a [F] poet, he's a picker, he's [C] a prophet, _ he's a pusher _
[G] He's a pilgrim and a preacher and the problem when [C] he's stoned
[F] He's a walking _ contradiction, partly [C] truth, _ partly fiction _
[G] Taking every wrong _ direction on his lonely way [C] back _ home
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ What is tasty, good and evil _ in your bedrooms and your bars
[G] He has traded in tomorrow for [D] today _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] Running from his devil's lord [D] and reaching for [Bm] the _ stars
[E] And losing all his love [A] along the _ way
_ [A] _ If [D] this world keeps right on turning _ for the better or the worse
It [G] only ever gets [A] older and [D] around _ _
_ _ From [G] the rocking of the cradle _ [D] to the rolling of the hearse
[G] The going up [A] was worth the coming [D] _ _ down
_ _ He's [G] a poet, he's a picker, _ [D] he's a prophet, he's a liar
_ [A] He's a pilgrim and a preacher _ and the problem when [D] he's stoned
[G] He's a walking _ contradiction, _ partly [D] truth, partly fiction
[A] Taking every wrong direction _ on his lonely way [D] back _ home
_ _ There's [A] a lot of wrong direction on your lonesome way back home
[D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ From the rocking of the cradle to the rolling of the hearse
The going up was worth the coming down
