                       F#m7  A/B   E
Down the end of the barroom
                       F#m7       Esus4/B  E  A
Out of sight of the light in the window
    D/E            A             B                 C#m7
His mind in his whiskey and his body in a folding chair

Far beyond repair

               F#m7   A/B   E
I enter his vision
              F#m7            Esus4/B  E  A
He watches me look for my seat
   D/E           A           B              C#m7
He makes his decision and he stands to his feet
             Emaj7        F#m7
Lord, it's a long way down

A/B            E   F#m7  A/B      E
It happened to me, wonderful sight

Only for me only for you
               A          B              C#m
It happened to be a light shining through
     Emaj7                    F$m7
From one who was lost and found
     A/B           E   F#m7  A/B
Just like me and you

                                    F#m7               A/B   E
Old man says, "Young man, my you're looking pretty green yeah
                        F#m7         Esus4/B   E  A
Like a stranger to this kind of place
     D/E         A                B         C#m7
Come sit at my table, come and look into my face
           Emaj7        F#m7  A/B
I've got a story to tell

Verse 4:

E                           F#m7  A/B   E
  There was a father and son
                          F#m7   Esus4/B  E  A
But that was a long time ago
             D/E              A
And when the time came to run
       B            C#m7     Emaj7       F#m7
I just couldn't say no so I left them behind"

Chorus:

A/B            E   F#m7  A/B      E
It happened to me, wonderful sight
F#m7 A/B  E F#m7 A/B    E
Only for me only for you

It happened to be a light shining through
     Emaj7                    F#m7
From one who was lost and found
     A/B           E   F#m7  A/B
Just like me and you

Verse 5:

E                      F#m7  A/B
  We have seen it before
E                   F#m7   Esus4/B  E  A
  In times of great sorrow
      D/E       A           B
That human compassion will flow
        C#m7          Emaj7      F#m7
From a well that has long run dry

Only for me only for you
               A          B              C#m
It happened to be a light shining through
     Emaj7                   F#m7
From one who was lost and found
     A/B           E   F#m7  A/B
Just like me and you, oh yes
