Intro: Em D A Em x2
            Em            D  A         Em
   Well, I know how it feels to be ripped from my roots

        Em             D  A      Em
   And tossed into a world unbending.

Em           D  A      Em
   Not long ago I was bitten by the truth

Em                         D     A         Em
  Some folks spend their whole life pretending.

         D                             A
  Now I start each mornin' with the sunlight by my side

Em             D    A   Em
  Find another highway, hitch another ride

          D                            Em              A
   And I use this six-string like an archer wields his bow

     C                                  D
   I believe when the arrow finds its mark
It pierces the soul. (Chorus)
Em                     G                  Em
   Three songs for a quarter each time I open my case

Em                       G                  Em
   Four chords and the voice of a good man fallen from grace

Em                   G    D  Em                    G
   No pity for me mister, I'm proud to be a drifter

           C                  A
   A long shot from bein' a star

                   C   G           Am G
   You know, the times ain't been easy

       D F        Am  A9    Em
   For me and my Homeless Guitar.

          Em          D       A   Em
   Now I know how it feels to be judged in a glance

     Em              D   A          Em
   Stripped of your pride and your passion.

Em     D  A             Em
   I only know that the rivers of the soul

Em                   D   A        Em
   Run deeper than birthright or fashion.

                D                    A
   I see you look me over, feel the weight of your stare

Em                   D   A           Em
   I'm sendin' you a message but you act like you don't care.

       D               Em            A
   I see a ripple, a crack in your facade

                  C                                   D
   You know, it really don't matter who you think you are
We're the same under God. (Chorus)
Am7                                 C
   I thank the Lord above for the gift He's given me

Em                  G
   I'm richer than most men

Em
   Got a friend in my six-string

Am7                              C
   In a world where trust ain't got no guarantee

D
   If you ain't got a penny

          B
   Gonna sing you this song for free, yeah.      Akkorde wie Chorus
(Chorus)
         D                              A
   Oh, I use these six-strings like an archer wields his bow

        C                              D
   I believe when the arrow finds its mark
It pierces the soul. (Chorus)
                   C   G           Am G
   You know, the times ain't been easy

       D F        Am  A9    Em
   For me and my Homeless Guitar.
