Verse:
Em
I wish, I hope, I wonder
          A
Where you're at so metimes
   Em
Is y our back against the wall?
      A
Or just ac ross the line
         Em
Have you been sta nding in the rain
          A
Reciting nursery rh ymes
       Em               A
Trying to re call some long lost kind of pe ace of mind
      D
Peace of m ind
          G
Try spending the n ight sometime
         D
All alone in a fr ozen room
          A
Afterneath you've l ain
           Em
Your saddle in the r ain

I dreamed they locked God up
        A
Down in my bas ement
      Em
And he wai ted there for me
         A
To have this acci dent
        Em
So he could dr ink my wine
            A
And eat me like a sacra ment
       Em
And I just st ood there like I do
         A
Then I came and w ent
       D
I came and w ent
           G
Like a bird in a for eign sky
        D
Couldn't even s ay goodbye
            A
Or come and share the p ain
           Em
My Saddle's in the r ain.

I saw a friend who doesn't know
        A
If I'm his fri end just yet
        Em
His eyes and m outh were widely open
     A
And his j aw was set
      Em
Like he'd f ell off a cliff
           A
And hadn't hit the bo ttom yet
       Em
I wish he wo uldn't pull those things on me
      A
Without a n et
      D
Without a n et
            G
I had him up to the ho use one time
            D
And we was having a re al good time
          A
Then he went and la in
          Em
His saddle in the r ain

     Em               A
In a lau ndromat not too far from the Al amo
     Em                A
Sits a g irl who stole my records very lo ng ago
     Em                  A
And she w ishes, wants and washes out those di rty clothers
     Em                 A
As she sh uts her eyes and dreams about her O ne-Eyed Joe
      D
One-Eyed J oe
          G
Car parked on a di rty road
          D
Heaven knows the lo ad she pulled
           A
Couldn't take the st rain
         Em
A saddle in the r ain
