INTRO: D
G D
Lonesome stranger, won't you share my bed
G D Asus2 D
The sidewalk siren at the bus stop said
G D
Love is a tear in a salty bay
G D Asus2 D
And it's hard to make it in this world today
G G/F G/E
Love is a river, but the river run dry
D
And the clouds blow bitter in a bone-yard sky
G G/F G/E
Flesh dries up and it burns away
D
And you can't remember where your heart once lay
Asus2 D
And it's hard to make it in this world today
G D
Dandy Don, he's a velvet hand
G D Asus2 D
He's my silent partner, he's the inside man
G D
Holds me shaking through the shotgun dawn
G D Asus2 D
And he keeps me walking down this road I'm on
G G/F G/E
Keeps me running when he calls my name
D
He shines the light, but he kills the flame
G G/F G/E
Stones me simple when I try to speak
D
And he bruise my face, but he kiss my cheek
Asus2 D
And it's hard to make it when you get this weak
INSTRUMENTAL: D G D G D Asus2 D (2x)
D G D
One of these mornings, gonna spread my wings
G D Asus2 D
Like a red-ass robin at the gates of spring
G D
Rise up singing on a cyclone wind
G D Asus2 D
'Til the walls of this city come tumbling in
G G/F G/E
Walls of this city come tumbling, rumbling
D
'Round my head like an old man stumbling
G G/F G/E
I don't care if the mountains fall
D
There's a little blue egg in the middle of this all
Asus2 D
And it's hard to make it when you feel so small
D G D
Bus pulled up and I climbed inside
G D Asus2 D
I sat in the window and I waved goodbye
G D
She stood staring at the blue machine
G D Asus2 D
Singing, "Nobody knows the trouble I've seen"
G G/F G/E
Nobody cares and nobody knows
D
Only weeds remember where your headstone grows
G G/F G/E
And it's dust to ashes and wings to clay
D
And I check my wallet as we pull away
Asus2 D
'Cause it's hard to make it in this world today
