Loudon Wainwright III – Homeless (Guitar)

     E                      A
When you were alive, I was never alone

    B7                              A                E
Somewhere in the world, there was something called home

E                                          A
 And as long as you lived, I would be all right

           B7                    A             E     E
There were reasons to win, and incentives to fight

        A           B7           E
Now I'm smoking again. I thought all that was through

      F#m                        A            B    B
And I don't wanna live. But what else can I do

E                                              A
  And I feel like I've faked all that I ever did

         B7                        A             E    E
And I've grown a gray beard, but I cry like a kid

E                           A
I was seven when I sang you   rosin the bow

   B7                             A                   E
There in Aunt Mary's kitchen and I don't guess I know

E                                                 A
 But it's why I've done this for all of this time

        B7                   A                   E      E
But now playing and singing,   seems a game or a crime

A             B7             E
  People have called to find out if I'm fine

    F#m             N.C.       A* A       B     B
I assure them I am. But I'm not -  it's a lie

E                                                     A
  They say in the end, your good friends pull you through

B7                    A                    E     E
  But everyone knows,   my best friend was you

E                            E                     A
 Hey, I've gotten some help.   I guess I was afraid

       B7                         A                   E    E
You suppose something will happen when someone is paid

E                                                A
 But I am getting better, once again I'll be strong

B7    B7/F#          A                E    E
After all, listen, I'm singing this song

     A         B7         E
When you were alive I was never alone

    F#m          F#m*            A                B     B
Somewhere in the world there was something called home

      E                                           A
Now I feel like I'm homeless, but I will be all right

     B7                      A                E
I'll get through the days. I'll face down the night
