VERSE 1: [add sus4 to 2nd balf of G measures at will]
See him w[G]asted on the s[G]idewalk in his j[G]acket and his j[G]eans,
Wearin' y[C]esterday's misf[C]ortunes like a sm[G]ile--[G]
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--
And he k[G]eeps right on a'ch[G]angin' for the b[G]etter or the w[G]orse,
S[C]earchin' for a shr[D]ine he's never f[G]ound--[G]
Never kn[C]owin' if bel[C]ievin' is a bl[G]essin' or a c[G]urse,
Or if the g[C]oin' up was w[D]orth the comin' d[G]own--[G]
CHORUS:
He's a p[C]oet, he's a p[C]icker--
He's a pr[G]ophet, he's a p[G]usher--
He's a p[D]ilgrim and a pr[D]eacher, and a pr[D]oblem when he's st[G]oned--
He's a w[C]alkin' contrad[C]iction, partly tr[G]uth and partly f[G]iction,
Takin' [D]ev'ry wrong dir[D]ection on his l[D]onely way back h[G]ome.[G]
[modulate wbole-step up:] A (...sus4) A (...sus4)
VERSE 2: [add sus4 to 2nd balf of A measures at will]
He has t[A]asted good and [A]evil in your b[A]edrooms and your b[A]ars,
And he's tr[D]aded in tom[D]orrow for t[A]oday--[A]
D D A F#m
Runnin' from his devils, Lord, and reachin' for the stars,
And l[B7]osin' all he's l[B7]oved along the w[E]ay--[E]
But if this w[A]orld keeps right on t[A]urnin' for the b[A]etter or the wo[A]rse,
And all he [D]ever gets is [E]older and ar[A]ound--[A]
From the r[D]ockin' of the cr[D]adle to the r[A]ollin' of the h[A]earse,
D(or Bm) E A A
The goin' up was worth the comin' down--
CHORUS
He's a p[D]oet, he's a p[D]icker--
He's a pr[A]ophet, he's a p[A]usher--
He's a p[E]ilgrim and a pr[E]eacher, and a pr[E]oblem when he's st[A]oned--
He's a w[D]alkin' contrad[D]iction, partly tr[A]uth and partly f[A]iction,
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 [bold]
