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)

And losin' all he's loved along the way--

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--

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--
