The Prophet Acoustic chords by Kris Kristofferson

Chords with lyrics

G+G             G+G               G+G
Sweet and wasted on a sidewalk in his jacket and his jeans
    C majorC                 G+G
Wearing yesterday's misfortunes like a smile.
C majorC                 G+G      E minorEm
Once he had a future, full of money,love, and dreams,
C majorC                       D MajorD
Which he spent,like they were going out of style.
G+G                G+G            G+G
And he keeps right on a changin for the better or the worse,
C majorC                      G+G
Alway searchin for the shrine he's never found.
C majorC                 G+G      E minorEm
Never knowin if believein was a blessing or a curse,
C majorC            D MajorD         G+G
And if the going up was worth the coming down.

CHORUS:
 C majorC        (speak)       G+G    (speak)
He's a poet, "he's a picker", He's a prophet "he's a pusher"
C majorC                 G+G            E minorEm
He's a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when he's stoned.
C majorC                 G+G           E minorEm
He's a walkin contradiction, partly truth but mostly fiction,
C majorC                  D MajorD         G+G
takin every wrong direction, on his lonely way back home.
G+G               G+G              G+G
G MajorG               G+G             G+G
He has tasted good and evil, in your bedroom and your bar,
C majorC                  G+G
And he's traded in tomorrow for today.
C majorC                G+G         E minorEm
Running from his devils lord and reachin for the stars,
C majorC                 D MajorD
and losin all he loves along the way.
G+G                   G+G            G+G
But this world keeps right on turnin, for the better or the worse
C majorC                   G+G       C majorC
And all he ever gets is older and around. From the rockin of the cradle to
  G+G         E minorEm    C majorC      D MajorD         G+G
the rollin of your hearse, the goin up is worth the coming down.

REPEAT CHORUS:
      D MajorD                       G+G
