Verse:
G5           F#/G  G/B
You watch every move
G5            F#/G  G/B
and call it slight of hand
G5            F#/G  G/B
you know it's what I do
                D              Csus2
but never who I am, never who I am
G5           F#/G  G/B
started on the street
G5           F#/G  G/B
cards and dollar bills
G5       F#/G  G/B
shuffling my feet
              D                    Csus2
never could be still, never could be still

Chorus:
   G5 D     Csus2          G/B   F#/G  Csus2
and I am an orphan man but ain't we all
G5 D       Csus2        G/B  F#/G  Csus2
I can make myself disappear
G5 D    Csus2          G/B   F#/G   Csus2
I am an orphan man but ain't we all
G5 D       Csus2                G/B  F#/G  Csus2
I could be somewhere worse than here

Verse:
G5    F#/G G/B
I had a bride
G5        F#/G G/B
sawed her in half
G5        F#/G G/B
couple people cried
                      D                          Csus2
but most of them just laughed, most of them just laughed
G5        F#/G G/B
and I had a son
G5             F#/G G/B
strong of hand and will
G5             F#/G G/B
taught him how to run
                 D                   Csus2
but never how to steal, never how to steal

Chorus:
   G5 D     Csus2          G/B   F#/G  Csus2
and I am an orphan man but ain't we all
G5 D       Csus2        G/B  F#/G  Csus2
I can make myself disappear
G5 D    Csus2          G/B   F#/G   Csus2
I am an orphan man but ain't we all
G5 D       Csus2                G/B  F#/G  Csus2
I could be somewhere worse than here

Bridge:
D              Csus2
I was called amazing
D              Csus2
I made folks believe
D                  Csus2
With nothing in my pockets
D                 Csus2
And nothing up my sleeve

Instrumental:
G5 G/B G5 G/B G5 G/B D Csus2

Chorus:
   G5 D     Csus2          G/B   F#/G  Csus2
and I am an orphan man but ain't we all
G5 D       Csus2        G/B  F#/G  Csus2
I can make myself disappear
G5 D    Csus2          G/B   F#/G   Csus2
I am an orphan man but ain't we all
G5 D       Csus2                G/B  F#/G  Csus2
I could be somewhere worse than here
           G/B  F#/G  Csus2
worse than here
           G/B  F#/G  Csus2
worse than here
