_ _ _ _ _ _ In the town of Tipton, [D] Georgia, on a hot and dusty day, _ _
you could see the heat coming off [A] the ground.
_ _ _ _ [Am] Up the [D] street a man come a-running, _ _ [G]
stumbling [D] on his way,

_ The people came [Bm] and waited all [C] day long.
_ _ [A] _ _
There [D] were some that could not walk, _ [G] and some who could not [D] see,
and it was believed that he [C] could help them with his [D] song. _ _ _ _ _
But [G] the singer, he [F] had tired [C] of the life he [D] had lived.
To the rich and poor, [Bm] the sick and [A] crippled, he turned to them and said,
_ [G] Well, I cannot cure [F] your illness, [C] and I cannot [D] make you see,
_ _ for I have loved your women, and [C] I sing [G] to you for [D]
money.
