F G C Am D G C
I was
walk
G
ing by the graveyard
C
late last Friday night
E
I heard somebody yelling,
Am
it sounded like a fight
F
It was just a drunken hobo
C Am
dancing circles in the night
F C G
Pouring whiskey on the headstones
F C
in the blue moonlight
F
So often have I wondered
G C
where these homeless brothers go
Am D
Down in some hidden valley
G
where their sorrows cannot show
F C
Where the police cannot find them,
Am
where the wanted man can go
F C
There's freedom when
G
you're walking,
F C
even though you're walking slow.
F G
Smash your bubble on the gravestone
C Am
and live while you can.
G C
That homeless brother is my friend.
G
It's hard to be a pack rat,
C
it's hard to be a boat.
E
But living's so much harder
Am
where the heartless people go
F C
Somewhere the dogs are barking
Am
and the children seem to know
F C G
That Jesus on the high
F C
was a lost hope born
F
And they hear the holy silence
G C
of the temples in the hill
Am D
And they see the ragged tatters
G
as another kind of thrill
F C
And they envy him the sunshine
Am C
and they pity him the chill
F C G
And they're sad to do their living
F C
for another kind of thrill
F G
Smash your bowl on the gravestone
C G C Am
and live while you can
D G C
That homeless brother is my friend
D G
Somewhere there was a woman
C
Somewhere there was a child
E
Somewhere there was a cottage
Am
Where the marigolds grew wild
F C
But somewhere's just like nowhere
Am F
When you leave it for a while
C
You'll find a broken heart
G F C
When you're traveling jungle style
F G
Down the bowels of a broken land
C
Where numbers live like men
Am D
Where those who keep their senses
G
Have them taken back again
F
Where the nights do cracks with
C
crazy rage
Am C F
Where madmen don't pretend
C G
Where wealth has no beginning
F C
and party nowhere.
F G
Smash a bottle on a gravestone
C G Am
and live while you can.
G C
That homeless brother is my friend.
G
The ghosts of highway royalty
C
have vanished in the night.
E
The Whitman wandered walking
Am
towards a glowing inner light.
F
The children have grown older
C Am
and the cops have gripped us tight
F C G
There's no spot round the melting pot
F C
for free men in their flight
F G
And you live on promises
C
and prosper as you please
Am D
The victim of your riches
G
often dies of your disease
F C
He can't hear the factory whistle,
Am F
just a lonesome freight train's wheels
C G
He's living on good fortune,
F C
he ain't dying on his knees
F G
Smash your bottle on the gravestone
C G Am
and live while you can
G
That homeless brother is my friend
C F G
Smash your bubble on the gravestone
C G Am
and live while you can.
G C
That homeless brother is my friend.
D Am G C
That homeless brother is my friend.
D G C
That homeless brother is my friend.
