INTRO: A

On a cold dark corner in town
An old soul standin’ his ground
Sang his heart right out of the world passin’ him by
I can still hear every word
Of a song nobody heard
‘Cause he sang right out of his soul into the sky, when he cried

CHORUS 1:
Let the walls come down, let the love come through
When it all comes down, when it’s up to you

SOLO: A E A

Talkin’ man or woman to man
Pray to God just hard as you can
Brother help your brother in need soon as you see one
Then you can’t free nobody else
If you can’t be true to yourself
If you’re lookin’ for a miracle now, buddy you better be one, all alone on your own

CHORUS 1

CHORUS 2:
Let the walls come down, let it all come true
When it all comes down, it’s up to me and you

SOLO

Intro – A – E
(verse 1)
Any more it doesn’t matter
Who’s right or wrong
We’ve been injuring each other
For much too long
And it’s too late to try to save
What might have been
It’s over[-]
Nobody win[-]s

(verse 2)
Make believin in forever
Is just a lie
And it seems a little sadder
Each time we try
‘Cause it’s a shame to make
The same mistakes again
And again
It’s over.
Nobody wins

(bridge)

We’ve gone too far too long
Too far apart
The lovin’ was easy
It’s the livin’ that’s hard
And there’s no need to stay and see
The way it ends
It’s over[-].
Nobody win[-]s
It’s over[-].
Nobody win[-]s

CAPO I

INTRO: C

Maybe you heard, your old buddy’s gone crazy
Searchin’ for words to deep sweet reason and rhyme
Livin’ alone more and more, and he’s prone to be lazy
Turnin’ to stone, blasted and blind

CHORUS 1:
Don’t turn away there, hey goddamn ya, he was your brother
Turn on your father, sister, mother, brother he was your friend
Don’t you condemn him, oh leave it to strangers
You oughta know him, give him a hand, if you can
But at least for Jesus Christ’s sake understand

BREAK: C F C G C

Maybe you heard that they say that the lady’s been changin’
Day after day, more than her mind
Learnin’ to play with the part has her turnin’ to strangers
Goin’ too far line after line

CHORUS 2:
Don’t turn away there, hey goddamn ya, you used to love her
Turn on your father, sister, mother, mister she was your friend
Don’t you condemn her, leave it to strangers
You oughta know her, give her a hand, if you can
But at least for Jesus Christ’s sake understand

OUTRO: C G C

INTRO: D G D G D

The moment that you saw him you just looked the other way
The blood within his eye was like a curse
He had two heavy pistols which were greased up and ready
And a face like Bobby Dylan’s only worse
He ordered up a whiskey which he drank like he was thirsty
Ordered him another of the same
Suddenly the silence of the frozen room was shattered
By a kid who shot before he called his name
He looked up at his killer from the floor where he had fallen
Said well look what you have gone and done to me
He said son I think you blew it but you’re truly welcome to it
You can be the new mister me, yeah

CHORUS:
You can be the new mister me me me
Ain’t it true that’s what you want to be, yessiree-bob
And I’ll be somewhere sunny where it’s funny and it’s free
And you can be the new mister me

SOLO

Well I was there the day they say that Bobby Dylan died
You and I both know he got away
He’s out there stealin horses, really learnin’ how to ride
He’s the reason I am free today, singin’

CHORUS

OUTRO: D G D

VERSE:
[Fill 1] G D
She was proud of her young body as a body could be
G [Fill 1]
On her way to be a woman of the world
[Fill 1] G D
And I still can see her smiling as she gave it to me
G [Fill 1]
Lookin’ like a lonesome little girl

[Fill 1]

CHORUS:
Josie, is it true that you’ve grown harder than your years
Sellin’ them your sadness on the street
How much did you lose between the laughter and the tears?
Gettin’ back the bitter for the sweet

[Fill 1] x 4

VERSE:
[Fill 1] G D
Well, she loved me back to livin’ at a time I was lost
With the closest thing to love I’ve ever known
And she led me through some bridges I was burnin’ to cross
Then she went and burned some bridges of her own

VERSE:
[Fill 1] G D
Now the road’s a little colder every time that I leave
For another empty place I’ve never been
And I don’t suppose it’s likely that she’s lookin’ for me
G [Fill 1]
But someday I may just chase her down again

[Fill 1]

CHORUS:
Josie, is it true that you’ve grown harder than your years
Sellin’ them your sadness on the street
How much did you lose between the laughter and the tears?
Gettin’ back the bitter for the sweet

I listened to a friend who’d do the same for [C/B]me last night
’Cause it takes one to really understand
And I watched him try to walk the line between what’s [C/B]wrong and right
And knew that fool was gonna fall again

CHORUS:
Ah, but the fool he’s been ain’t like the fool I’d be
To keep believin’ dreams that don’t come true, they never do
‘Cause you know he never was too far from love to make believe
I’ll be leavin’ if it’s all the same to you

It’s hard to lead a friend in need of something hard to face
The simple truth ain’t simple when it’s sad
And misery loves company, oh Lord it’s such a waste
To go on throwin’ good love after bad

CHORUS:
Ah, but the fools we’ve been ain’t nothin’ like the fools we’d be
To keep believin’ dreams that don’t come true, they never do
Because you know it never was too far from love to make believe
And I’ll be leavin’ if it’s all the same to you

Yes it’s true
I’ll be leavin’ ‘cause it’s all the same to you

INTRO: D D/A D D/A

Lord help me walk another mile just one more mile
I’m tired of walkin’ all alone
Lord help me smile another smile just one more smile
I know I just can’t make it on my own[D/A]

CHORUS:
I never thought I needed [G/A]help before
I thought that I could do things by myself, but I can’t
Now I know I just can’t take it [G/A]anymore
With a humble on bended knee I’m beggin’ You please, help me

Come down from Your golden throne to me, lonely me
I need to feel the touch of Your tender hand
Remove the chains of darkness and let me see, Lord let me see
Just where I fit into your master plans

CHORUS:
I never thought I needed [G/A]help before
Thought that I could get by by myself (you can’t)
Now I know I just can’t take it [G/A]anymore
With a humble heart on bended knee I’m beggin’ You please, help me
With a humble heart on bended knee I’m beggin’ You please, oh help...

INTRO: D D/C# Bm G A D A7

I got a day without nothing to do
Do not disturb on my door
I sorta look for some mess that she made
Or her sweet little socks on the floor
But all that she left here is too many rooms
Just enough silence to break
And I can’t look at her picture right now
Time’s about all I can take[(A7)]

Last night I sort up her toys that were torn
And packed her suitcase again
She looked so sweet as she lay there asleep
Smilin’, holdin’ my hand
We didn’t talk all the way to the plane
But she’s too big now to cry
Then when I kissed her, she held me so tight
I couldn’t tell her goodbye

CHORUS:
She said I wish that we lived together again
We’ll get so lonesome apart
I’m missin’ somebody all of the time
Daddy, it’s breakin’ my heart

BREAK: G D Bm E A7

It’s not so bad out here, livin’ alone
Comfort’s a stranger away
And there’s a freedom you find on your own
It’s nearly worth what you’ve paid
It’s just a shame she still wants us to be
All that we seemed to before
But we can’t blame her for makin’ believe
Somethin’ we don’t anymore

CHORUS

OUTRO: A D

INTRO: G

Oh the lights of Magdala flicker dimly on the shore
Holy sailor sailing on the sea
Patiently waiting, she walked quietly to the door
Another lonely night in Galilee

CHORUS:
Magdalene, don’t wrap your dreams in sorrow
Save them for tomorrow if it comes
When we’ll meet within the circle around the sun
Oh if Heaven were a lady don’t you know you’d have been the one

BREAK: G C G C G

To the streets of Jerusalem you followed him once more
Holy sailor, come home from the sea
Someone somewhere’s callin’ him to a golden distant shore
Far from the lonely nights in Galilee

CHORUS

BREAK out

CAPO I

INTRO (2x): A D

Woke up this morning, the border was burning my mind
Things that I seen that I couldn’t be leaving behind me
Down in this hole in the ground there ain’t nothin’ to see
But down in Michoacan, paradise waits for me

North of the border, the bodies are bought and they’re sold, boy
Me and a brother was caught turnin’ green into gold
I’m gonna pay for my crime till the day that I’m free
But down in Michoacan, paradise waits for me

BRIDGE 1:
A rusty car rode across the border, I was inside
I had two dogs, my red guitar, and my teenage bride
We took a look at a shot in the dark and we found a home
Where the flowers bloom in Michoacan

INTRO

BRIDGE 2:
A rusty car rode across the border, I was inside
I had two dogs, my red guitar, and my teenage bride
I’m gonna clean up my act and go back to where I belong
Where the flowers bloom in Michoacan
