Kristofferson, 1971 ("transcr./arr." tcg) --4/4 // Keys of G, A // Moderately --rhythm guitar: alternate bass (see Intro; ^ = downstrum; v = "upstrum") INTRO: G ^ v G6 ^ v ||-----3--3---------3--3----|| ||-----0--0---------0--0----|| ||o----0--0---------0--0---o|| ||o----0--0---0h2---2--0---o|| ||--------------------------|| ||--3-----------------------|| INTRO Recitation (over riff above): "I started out writin' this song about . . . [insert own music gods!]" [Notes: * each chord name below = one entire "bum-chicky-bum-chicky"; * (...sus4) = add sus4 to 2nd half of measure) * letters in < > are bass notes than can optionally be incorporated into guitar accompaniment] VERSE 1: [add sus4 to 2nd half of G measures at will]
See him wGasted on the sGidewalk in his jGacket and his jGeans, Wearin' yCesterday's misfCortunes like a smGile-- G COnce he had a fCuture full of mGoney, love, anEmd dreams, A7 A7 D (...sus4) D Which he spent like they was goin' outa style-- And he kGeeps right on a'chGangin' for the bGetter or the wGorse, SCearchin' for a shrDine he's never fGound-- G Never knCowin' if belCievin' is a blGessin' or a cGurse, Or if the gCoin' up was wDorth the comin' dGown-- G
CHORUS:
He's a pCoet, he's a pCicker-- He's a prGophet, he's a pGusher-- He's a pDilgrim and a prDeacher, and a prDoblem when he's stGoned-- He's a wCalkin' contradCiction, partly trGuth and partly fGiction, Takin' Dev'ry wrong dirDection on his lDonely way back hGome. G
[modulate whole-step up:] A (...sus4) A (...sus4) VERSE 2: [add sus4 to 2nd half of A measures at will]
He has tAasted good and Aevil in your bAedrooms and your bAars, And he's trDaded in tomDorrow for tAoday-- A RDunnin' from his dDevils, Lord, and rAeachin' for tF#mhe stars, And lB7osin' all he's lB7oved along the wEay-- E But if this wAorld keeps right on tAurnin' for the bAetter or the woArse, And all he Dever gets is Eolder and arAound-- A From the rDockin' of the crDadle to the rAollin' of the hAearse, D(or Bm) E A A The goin' up was worth the comin' down--
CHORUS
He's a pDoet, he's a pDicker-- He's a prAophet, he's a pAusher-- He's a pEilgrim and a prEeacher, and a prEoblem when he's stAoned-- He's a wDalkin' contradDiction, partly trAuth and partly fAiction, E E E A A / G# F# Takin' ev'ry wrong direction on his lonely way back home.
E E E [A:coda riff] There's a lotta wrong directions on that lonely way back home.
