Intro: F
F A#
Cars lined up the street
Dm F
A procession for the thief
F A#
The men were restless and the women howled
Dm F
As they professed their grief
Dm F
A smoke was lying on his lips
A# C
And in his hand a rusty flask
F Dm
Even in death he'd forced a smile
C F
I oughta give him his dues for going out like that
Interlude:
F Dm F A#
Dm x2 F x2
F A# Dm A#
Dm x2 F x2
F
When you've walked through the valley
A#
Saw the face of death
Dm
And you've paid your debts
A# Dm
Well then, is there anything left
A# F
Is there anything left
Dm A#
When you've settled up
F
Is there anything left
F A#
I came to pay a false courtesy
Dm A#
So you couldn't get the best of me
Dm A# F
But the grief hung in the air and mingled with the sweat
Dm A# F
I presumed to know your inner workings, but I just wept
A# F
I never thought much about the man
C F
He was always just drifting along
A#
But a couple hours in
F
We were drunk as sin
Dm A# F
I was wrong, I was wrong about him
Dm A# F
I came around, I came around, I came around
F A#
I took you for a hanger-on
Dm F
But the way those folks all wept
F A#
You must've been doing something right
Dm F
To move the company you kept
A# F
The drinks kept coming and I loosed my tongue
Dm C
And I talked a little shit
F A#
But your friends just laughed and chimed right in
Dm F
Telling yarns so good it made me quit
A# F
I never thought much about the man
C F
He was always just drifting along
A#
But a couple hours in
F
We were drunk as sin
Dm A# F
I was wrong, I was wrong about him
Dm A# F
I came around, I came around, I came around
A# F
The room started reeling
A# F
I got the feeling I read you wrong
A# F A#
Then another bottle of gin
A# F A#
Break out the bar brawl again
A# F C
You were the reason for them
F A#
By the time the sun was at its feet
Dm F
Everybody there was pissed
F A#
And I can say with some degree of certainty
Dm F
The old bastard will be missed
A# F A# C
I thought your life was nothing more than one long grift
F Dm
Now I sit weeping by your coffin
A# F
Clutching a bottle in my fist
Dm A# F
I came around, I came around, I came around x 6
