Loudon Wainwright III – Homeless (Ukulele)

E					A
When you were alive, I was never alone

		   	E
Somewhere in the world, there was something called home

E
And as long as you lived, I would be allright

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

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

Fm#*			A*			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

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

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

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

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

				E
But now I'm playing and singing, seems a game or a crime

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

Fm#*			     A*		 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

			E
But everyone knows, my best friend was you.

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

					E
You suppose something will happen when someone is paid

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

			E
After all, listen, I'm singing this song

A*
When you were alive I was never alone

B*			A*			E
Somewhere in the world there was something called home

E					    A
Now I feel like I'm homeless but I will be alright

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