[C#] [G#] [C#] [D#m]
[A#m] [G#] [A#m] [F#]
[A#m] [G#] [C#]
[D#m] Sitting, [Fm] wondering, [G#] watching [C#] the [F#] parade
[A#m] In my ever [C#]-present chair
[D#m] [A#m] People [C#] laughing and [G#] smiles all [C#] around [F#] me
Losing [C#] paper in my [G#] hair
There's a man [A#m] in a car [F#] with a top [G#] down
Waving wildly [F#] at me
[G#]
Oh, son [A#m] of a gun, I [F#] know he's [G#] thinking
Better him, [F#] him than [C#] me
I've stared down the devil and had [G#] to look [F#] away
[C#]
Called out to the [F#] angels, [A#m] but [G#] no one ever [F#] came
[C#]
Laid down on me, but [D#m] [A#m] the [G#] double zero [F#] played
It's [D#m] alright, I'm a lucky one
[C#] [F#]
[C#] Oh, such [G#] a fortunate son
[D#m] [C#] [F#] I [G#] [F#]
[C#] [G#] [C#] [F#]
[G#] was always [A#m] taught [C#] well, taught [F#] well
To [C#] be the strong one and keep it inside
[D#m] [A#m] Sometimes I sit [Fm] beside the [F#] freeway
[A#m] And I hold out [C#] at the dark, [D#m] dark [G#] sky
I might just [A#m] have to go [F#] out and burn [G#] one
Have a drink [F#] or a few
[G#]
Fade away [A#m] in a cloudy [F#] haze of [G#] smoke
Give the old [F#] man's best [D#m] salute
[C#]
