Biography:
Bruce Randall Hornsby (born November 23, 1954 in Williamsburg, Virginia) is an American singer, virtuoso pianist, accordion player, and songwriter. He is probably best known for his 1980s signature song "The Way It Is" and the top five hits "Mandolin Rain," and "The Valley Road", all recorded as Bruce Hornsby & The Range, and for his long association with the Grateful Dead. In some of his solo albums (from 1993) he moved in a less commercial, more musically-challenging direction.

Verse:
C G Em
I'm on a long sojourn
C G Em
I'm sitting here shedding my skin
C G Em A
Don't know about inside, ugly on the outside
C G Em
They're all messing with me for the shape I'm in
Bridge:
C G Em
I'm looking for a clean slate
C G Em
Just need to find a new mind state
C G
Hey, let's go looking for squirrels
Em A
Let's find something to do
C G Em
I think she's shooting it right at you
A
Look down I said right at you
Chorus:
C G
And the hail falls hard
Em A
And the wind whips my face
C G A A
And I'm a long, long way from anywhere real safe
C G
And the storm clouds are flying high
Em A
Mud all over my face
C G A
And I'm a long, long way from my resting place

Verse:
C G Em
Hey, let's duck down this side street
C G Em
Maybe no, nobody else will see
C G Em A
Everybody sees us as big fat bastards
C G Em
But I can just see you looking at me
C G Em
Ever feel like a side-show attraction
C G Em
Ever feel like a walking infraction
C G Em A
Some people call me Tarzan in my big, big sweats
C G
Don't know just what they mean
Em A
Maybe not good, real bad I bet
Chorus:
C G
And the hail falls hard
Em A
And the wind whips my face
C G A A
And I'm a long, long way from some sheltered space
C G
And the storm clouds are flying high
Em A
Mud all over my face
C G A
And I'm a long, long way from my resting place

Bridge:
C G Em
I'm looking for a clean slate
C G Em
Just need to find a new way, way to relate
C G
You ever feel like a street walker
Em
I get by being a funny talker
A
All those funny jokes sting, so keep walking
Chorus:
C G
And the hail falls hard
Em A
And the wind whips my face
C G A A
And I'm a long, long way from some sheltered space
