    INTRO Recitation (over riff above):
  • "I started out writin' this song about . . . [insert own music gods!]"
     
    [Notes: * each chord name below = one entire "bum-chicky-bum-chicky";
  • * (...sus4) = add sus4 to 2nd half of measure)
    * letters in are bass notes than can optionally be
    incorporated into guitar accompaniment]
  •  
    VERSE 1: [add sus4 to 2nd half of G measures at will]
     
  • G G G G
    See him wasted on the sidewalk in his jacket and his jeans,
    C C G G
  • Wearin' yesterday's misfortunes like a smile--
    C C G Em
    Once he had a future full of money, love, and dreams,
  • A7 A7 D (...sus4) D
    Which he spent like they was goin' outa style--
    G G G G
  • And he keeps right on a'changin' for the better or the worse,
    C D G G
    Searchin' for a shrine he's never found--
  • C C G G
    Never knowin' if believin' is a blessin' or a curse,
    C D G G
  • Or if the goin' up was worth the comin' down--
     
    CHORUS:
  • C C
    He's a poet, he's a picker--
    G G
  • He's a prophet, he's a pusher--
    D D D G
    He's a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when he's stoned--
  • C C G G
    He's a walkin' contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction,
    D D D G G
  • Takin' ev'ry wrong direction on his lonely way back home.
     
    [modulate whole-step up:] A (...sus4) A (...sus4)
  •  
     
    VERSE 2: [add sus4 to 2nd half of A measures at will]
  •  
    A A A A
    He has tasted good and evil in your bedrooms and your bars,
  • D D A A
    And he's traded in tomorrow for today--
    D D A F#m
  • Runnin' from his devils, Lord, and reachin' for the stars,
    B7 B7 E E
    And losin' all he's loved along the way--
  • A A A A
    But if this world keeps right on turnin' for the better or the worse,
    D E A A
  • And all he ever gets is older and around--
    D D A A
    From the rockin' of the cradle to the rollin' of the hearse,
  • D(or Bm) E A A
    The goin' up was worth the comin' down--
     
  • CHORUS
    D D
    He's a poet, he's a picker--
  • A A
    He's a prophet, he's a pusher--
    E E E A
  • He's a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when he's stoned--
    D D A A
    He's a walkin' contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction,
  • E E E A A / g# f#
    Takin' ev'ry wrong direction on his lonely way back home.
     
  • E E E [A:coda riff]
    There's a lotta wrong directions on that lonely way back home.
     
  • CODA Riff: AM6
    1 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 2 3 [hold]
