    G              B      Em
The cigarette of a single man

Bb                   Am/C
Burns in the ashtray by his bed

   G                 B       Em
He pulls the ring of another can

    Bm          Am         C
and holds it up beside his head

    Bb               C
The book he reads is on the floor

     G               Cm             G
he's read it several times before

REFRAIN:

                    B    Em   Bb Am/C G
Whats you got to go home to?

                    B/Eb Em   Bb Am/C F/D C
Whats you got to go home to?

    G              B      Em
The cigarette of a single man

Bb                  Am/C
Sits on the ashtray on the bar

   G                      B       Em
He sits and sifts through several plans

    Bm             Am       C
But knows alone he won't go far

   Bb             C
He needs the love another has

   G            Cm
To help him if another can.

REFRAIN BRIDGE: Bb C/Bb Bb C/Bb Bb C/Bb Bb C/Bb

    G              B      Em
The cigarette of a single man

Bb                 Am/C
Lays in the gutter by his side

G                     B      Em
Now he's one of those little lambs

    Bm                       Am       C
Who strayed too far from the flock to find

     Bb             C
He's better off without the grief

     G              Cm
That people wear between their teeth

    G/B             C
And in his mouth as he's asleep

    G/D            C/E
The cigarette of a single man

G/B             C
In his mouth between his teeth

The cigarette of a single man

G                   B    Em  Bb Am/C
Whats you got to go home to?

Whats you got to go home to?
