[C#m] [N] There's a man who walks beside me, he is who I used to be
And I wonder if she sees him and confuses him with me
And I wonder who she's pining for on nights I'm not around
Could it [F#m] be the man who [E] did the things [E] I'm living down
[A]
[C#m] I was rougher than the [E] timber shipping out of Fond du Lac
When I headed south at seventeen, the sheriff on my [C#m] back
I never held a lover [E] in my arms or in my gaze
So I [F#m] found another victim every couple days
[E] [C#m] But the night I fell in love with her I made my weakness known
[F#m] To the fighters and [E] the farmers [A] digging dusty fields alone
[C#m] The jealous innuendos [E] of the lonely hearted men
Let [F#m] me know what [E] kind of country I [A] was sleeping in
[E]
Well you couldn't stay alone around the plains before the war
[F#m] When my neighbors took [E] to slighting me [A] I had [E] to ask what for
[C#m] Rumors of my wickedness [E] had reached our little town
Soon [F#m] she heard about [E] the boys I used [A] to hang around
[E] [C#m] We'd robbed a great lady, sprayed her, [E] killed a couple men, a bore
[F#m] When I told her her [E] eyes flickered like [A] the sharp steel of a sword
All [C#m] the things that she suspected [E] I'd expected her to fear
Was [F#m] the truth that drew [E] her to me when I landed here
[A]
There's [C#m] a man who walks beside me, he [E] is who I used to be
[F#m] And I wonder if [E] she sees him and [A] confuses him with me

[A]
[C#m] Well I carved a cross from my volcanic [E] box from shortleaf pine
[F#m] Buried her [E] so deep she touched the water table line
[C#m] Picked up what I [E] needed and I headed south again
To [F#m] myself I wonder [E] would I ever [A] find another friend
There's [C#m] a man who walks beside her, he [E] is who I used to be
[F#m] And I wonder if [E] she sees him and confuses him with me
[B]
[N] Thank you!
