Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[C][F][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]He walks these tracks
and [Bb]never looks [C]around
He bums what he can [Bb]get in any t[C]own
He's [F]grown content to live on char[C]ity
I've been down so long [Bb]it looks like up [C]to me

[Verse 2]
[C]
I make excuses [Bb]when I read his [C]name
On the side of [Bb]some old dirty [C]train
It [F]conjures up a taste of [C]fantasy
I've been down so long it
[Bb]looks like up [C]to me

[Verse 3]
[C]
I've been [F]down so long it
[G]looks like up to [C]me
Well, I pushed him off the
[Bb]ladder of suc[C]cess
That's true
But down here on the [Bb]bot tom I get rest
[C]

[Verse 4]
He [F]saves his thoughts to
buy a memory
[C]

[Verse 5]
I've been down so long
it [Bb]looks like up [C]to me

[Verse 6]
[C]I put my finger i[Bb]n his min[C]d's eye
And I've given him a [Bb]reason now to [C]cry
I [F]put his song of life in the wrong [C]key
I've been down so long it [Bb]look
s like up [C]to me

[Verse 7]
[C]Yeah, he's been [F]down so long
it [G]looks like up to Lee
[C]Poor Lee, I [F]wish you [G]would
come up here
Lee, you're [C]breaking my heart
down there
I wish you would tell this story
to everybody
Listen to him crying [F]down there
You keep secrets
Poor Lee
You've hurt me
[G]I'm sorry
I'll never forget
Haha!
I'm [C]a poor sport
Haha!
