Intro: D 

                             G        D 
Lonesome stranger, won't you share my bed 
    G        D            Asus2    D 
The sidewalk siren at the bus stop said 
                    G     D 
Love is a tear in a salty bay 
         G       D               Asus2   D 
And it's hard to make it in this world today 


G                        G/F       G/E 
Love is a river, but the river run dry 
        D 
And the clouds blow bitter in a bone-yard sky 
G                     G/F    G/E 
Flesh dries up and it burns away 
        D 
And you can't remember where your heart once lay 
                                 Asus2   D 
And it's hard to make it in this world today 


                  G      D 
Dandy Don, he's a velvet hand 
        G      D                 Asus2  D 
He's my silent partner, he's the inside man 
                             G       D 
Holds me shaking through the shotgun dawn 
       G        D                 Asus2    D 
And he keeps me walking down this road I'm on 


G                        G/F      G/E 
Keeps me running when he calls my name 
D 
He shines the light, but he kills the flame 
G                       G/F    G/E 
Stones me simple when I try to speak 
       D 
And he bruise my face, but he kiss my cheek 
                                  Asus2    D 
And it's hard to make it when you get this weak
