Verse 1:
    A                        A
He stands there like demon a guitar for a pitch fork
   A                     E               A
A stare that looks right through to your soul
   A                                      A
He knows they've come to see him and they know wonder why
   A                        E                 A
He can't stand still and he look so tired and old

Sing a song, try not to think
A
Act like it don't hurt
A                            E
Sing a song to cover up your cry
         D
Make 'em laugh, let 'em dance
A
You know that you'll make it
    A                   E                A
But they don't know how hard you have to try

        A                                 A
With a smile that charms the women and a snare that makes men nervous
   A               E               A
He sings a song of lovin' fightin' man
         A                             A
The band wonders how he's done it from what the world did to him
    A            E                A
And why it never happen like they plan

Verse 3:
   A                               A
He pours out songs like water with each one he seem stronger
     A                 E             A
From somewhere comes a new found energy
   A                                A
He gives them half his heart and a slow song love ballad
      A               E            A
And I feel a kindred spirit within me
