[Intro]

[Verse]
Em
I wish, I hope, I wonder
A
Where you're at so metimes
Em
Is y our back against the wall?
A
Or just ac ross the line
Em
Have you been sta nding in the rain
A
Reciting nursery rh ymes
Em A
Trying to re call some long lost kind of pe ace of mind
D
Peace of m ind
G
Try spending the n ight sometime
D
All alone in a fr ozen room
A
Afterneath you've l ain
Em
Your saddle in the r ain
[Instrumental]
Em
[Verse]
Em
I dreamed they locked God up
A
Down in my bas ement
Em
And he wai ted there for me
A
To have this acci dent
Em
So he could dr ink my wine
A
And eat me like a sacra ment
Em
And I just st ood there like I do
A
Then I came and w ent
D
I came and w ent
G
Like a bird in a for eign sky
D
Couldn't even s ay goodbye
A
Or come and share the p ain
Em
My Saddle's in the r ain.

[Verse]
Em
I saw a friend who doesn't know
A
If I'm his fri end just yet
Em
His eyes and m outh were widely open
A
And his j aw was set
Em
Like he'd f ell off a cliff
A
And hadn't hit the bo ttom yet
Em
I wish he wo uldn't pull those things on me
A
Without a n et
D
Without a n et
G
I had him up to the ho use one time
D
And we was having a re al good time
A
Then he went and la in
Em
His saddle in the r ain

[Verse]
Em A
In a lau ndromat not too far from the Al amo
Em A
Sits a g irl who stole my records very lo ng ago
Em A
And she w ishes, wants and washes out those di rty clothers
Em A
As she sh uts her eyes and dreams about her O ne-Eyed Joe
D
One-Eyed J oe
G
Car parked on a di rty road
D
Heaven knows the lo ad she pulled
A
Couldn't take the st rain
Em
A saddle in the r ain
[Instrumental]
