CAPO 4

F G C Am

I did what everyone else does

F G C Am

I drifted back to my hometown

F G

With my restless heart kept hidden

C G Am

Deep within my chest I knew

F G C

They'd have to take me back again

F G C Am

Put on my shoes to search for clues

F G C AM

But you'll never find them there

F G

Nor with the mates from your old class

C G Am

Gathered after midnight mass

F G C

Round the bar in the predawn hours of Christmas morning

They thought I'd outgrown them

G C

They could read it on my face

F G C

I wanted to leave but my face...

F G

Had an appointment to keep

C G Am

with the fist of some young freak

F G C

That's why I wear this scar beneath my eye

F G C Am

Summer Job tending lawns for old men

F G C Am

who sit round predicting weather with their bones

F G

sticks and stones are more akin

C G Am

to what lies underneath their skin

F G C

and their souls cling on to that skeleton

and if i had a dollar

G C

for everytime i shoulda been paid

F G C

Then i would have been paid

F G

but their meagre money couldnt buy

C G Am

the blue out of the sky

F G C

or downpay the common day to stay away

F G C Am

some weeks before the whirl began

F G C Am

i drifted back to my hometown

F G

to all the blessed, to me a curse

C G Am

to the pioneers who got there first

F G C

stay in the ground for if i come back again

F G

to all the soul folks swaying pines

C G Am

the shoes hanging on power lines

i keep you here

G C

for if i come back again.
