[Verse 1]
G He carries his ID D Em In books bound in leather C G And a change of clothing C G D And a picture of Anna when she was younger C G Least he forget her Bm And in among his papers G is a list of all the people that he knew Bm And many unsent letters, telling someone that he'd be there G sometime soon D G D Hey stranger! Aren't you the tiredness that remains? Bm When you think freedom can't be measured G A By the scuffles on your boots? C G Hey, hey, hey
[Verse 2]
G D Em Now he dreams about his Anna and the time they were together C G He was hard and she was supple C G When they lived out in the country D She thought gentle C G Like his hands upon her body Bm And when Anna felt the cooling wind A G David felt the need to be blown down Bm And when Anna felt the cleansing rain A G David fought the fear that he might drown D G D Hey stranger! And now you wander through the country Bm That you hope is much less frightening G A When it's quicker passing by C G Hey, hey, hey
[Verse 3]
G Now in Southern Arizona D Em at the Last Chance diner counter C G Being questioned by the waitress C G He prepares for the desert D with his freedom C G And a canteen of water
