As recorded by Ben Harper (From the 2022 Album BLOODLINE MAINTENANCE) [Intro] Dm Am C [Verse 1]

Am       Dm
I cry at roadkill

         Am
I cry at open fields

                        C
When I'm driving in the South

Am        Dm
I cry for jockey and horse

    Am
For hypocrisy

                        C
When I'm walking in the North

[Chorus]

    Dm       C                     Dm
But I always smile when I think of you

C                              Dm
I always smile when I think of you

C        G          Am         Dm
I always smile when I think of you

[Verse 2]

Dm
Like a train in the night

Am
The never-ending fight

C            Dm        C
For justice, justice deserved

Am          Dm7
I cry at an epitaph

                 Am
When I'm reading Grapes of Wrath

             C
At justice unserved

[Chorus]

    Dm       C                     Dm7
But I always smile when I think of you

C                              Dm7
I always smile when I think of you

C                     Dm7
I always smile when I think of you

[Guitar Solo] Dm Am C Am Dm Am C Dm C Dm7 [Verse 3]

Dm
I cry for 100 years

          Am
So hard I can't see clear

                C
When I try to recall

                Dm7
What can't be undone

     Am
What I can't outrun

                 C
Still through it all, through it all

[Out-Chorus]

Dm       C                     Dm
I always smile when I think of you

C        G            Dm
I always smile when I think of you

         C     Dm7
I always smile
