G                     C
There's a man, a tall man

        D  G
Follows no one

G                          C
Out in a storm can he stay warm

                    C
All the things that he's done
[Chorus 1]
G
Oh, but the city lights

G       Em
Are but pretty lights

     D                           G
et a move on, tell him it's all ight

          G           D            G     C  D  G
You gotta ease in and say it's all right
[Vdrese 2]
G                 C
There is a man, a crippled man

        G
Is he a soldier

                              C
Can his new wife live out her life

                G
The way he once told her
[Chorus 2]
G
Oh, but I see the light

G        Em
I see it burning bright

      C        D                 G
Get a move on, tell him it's all right

G   C                         D        G         G  C  D
You gotta shake your fist and say it's all right

G                              C
Now where you've been is not a sin

                  G
It's where you're goin'

                           C
Hurt anyone by what you've done

              G
And it starts showin'
[Chorus 3]
G
Oh, but you can't complain
About the wind and the rain
             C                  D                   G
You're gonna gather down in the churchyard just the same

         C                D             G
And your water won't ever wash away the stain

       G
If you remain
