Lost Soul by Bruce Hornsby

3/4 Waltz time

Capo on the 1st

[Intro]

G C Am F C Dm F

C Am G F Dm F

[Verse 1]

C Am F C Dm F

There was a man of con-fused and sad nature

C Am G F Dm

Thought no one loved him that was not true

C Am F G F

He said he was a lost soul didn't fit in anywhere

C Am G F Dm

Didn't know where to turn or who to turn to.

[Chorus]

G Am F C

There's a lost soul coming down the road

G Am F Dm

Somewhere between two worlds

G Am F C

With an oar in his hands and a song on your lips

G Am F Dm

We'll row the boat to the far shore

F G F C

Row the boat of the loved lost soul.

G C Am F C Dm F

[Verse 2]

C Am F C Dm F

Ever since oh I can remember

C Am G F Dm

We all tried to ease the pain

C Am F G F

Took him in when he needed some shelter

C Am G F Dm

Tried to make him feel he was one of us again

[Verse 3]

C Am F C Dm F

There was one day oh I can remember

C Am G F Dm

He sat alone with a pencil in his hand

C Am F G F

All day long he drew careful on the paper

C Am G F Dm

In the end just a picture of a man

[Chorus]

G Am F C

There's a lost soul coming down the road

G Am F Dm

Somewhere between two worlds

G Am F C

With an oar in his hands and a song on your lips

G Am F Dm

We'll row the boat to the far shore

F G F C

Row the boat of the loved lost soul

G C Am F C Dm F

[Verse 4]

C Am F C Dm F

Oh dear Mary do you remember

C Am G F Dm

The day we went walking downtown

C Am F G F

As I recall it was in early December

C Am G F Dm

After school had just let out

[Verse 5]

C Am F C Dm F

When I see you on the street in the twilight

C Am G F Dm

I may tip my hat and keep my head down

C Am F G F

You show me love but maybe I don't deserve it

C Am G F Dm

I've been called but not, but not been found, been found

[Chorus]

G Am F C

There's a lost soul coming down the road

G Am F Dm

Somewhere between two worlds

G Am F C

With an oar in his hands and a song on your lips

G Am F Dm

We'll row the boat to the far shore

F G F C

Row the boat of the loved lost soul

G C Am F C Dm F

C Am G F Dm F

C Am G F
