Chorus
DOh in the grey
Grey gBmhost that I call home
In the Dgrey
Stony lGonesome I call home
In the gDrey
Grey ghBmost that I call home
In the gBmrey, grey ghosAt that I call hGome
Oh he will nDot
Walk out the river now
He will not walk out the river
He will not walk out the river, singing
GDon’t fall through the stars
Don’t fall through them
Don’t fall through the stars
Don’t fall through them
DOn the docks in Memphis, with the boombox, nodding out, singing
Don’t fall through the stars
Don’t fall through them
BmDon’t fall through the stars
EmDon’t fall through them
GDon’t fall through the stars
Repeat Chorus
In the trDail of the barge and the light upon the brine
He has staked these thoughts and the force is undivided, singing
GDon’t fall through the stars
Don’t fall through them
Don’t fall through the stars
Don’t fall through them
DSleepy-eyed, the man is wading out into the night, singing
Don’t fall through the stars
Don’t fall through them
BmDon’t fall through the stars
EmDon’t fall through them
GDon’t fall through the stars
Bridge
BmEmbracing some haArd-luck ciEmtizen
BmDisgraced like some Astrange Bob EmBalaban
BmAnd placing your heeAls down in the Gsand
AAnd                    
Chorus x2 w/ backup vox
Last line 
in the grBmey grey gEmhost that I call hGomeD

Oh in the grey

Grey ghost that I call home

In the grey

Stony lonesome I call home

In the grey

Grey ghost that I call home

Bm A G

In the grey, grey ghost that I call home

Oh he will not

Walk out the river now

He will not walk out the river

He will not walk out the river, singing

Don’t fall through the stars

Don’t fall through them

Don’t fall through the stars

Don’t fall through them

On the docks in Memphis, with the boombox, nodding out, singing

Don’t fall through the stars

Don’t fall through them

Don’t fall through the stars

Don’t fall through them

Don’t fall through the stars

Repeat Chorus

In the trail of the barge and the light upon the brine

He has staked these thoughts and the force is undivided, singing

Don’t fall through the stars

Don’t fall through them

Don’t fall through the stars

Don’t fall through them

Sleepy-eyed, the man is wading out into the night, singing

Don’t fall through the stars

Don’t fall through them

Don’t fall through the stars

Don’t fall through them

Don’t fall through the stars
