Verse 1
tall stranger from way down south
Bb
Where he'd left his life behind
Gm
He had a big, old Gibson and
F
Bb
C
And Shenandoah eyes
F
And I remember him sitting
Bb
Where I earned my pay each night
Gm
C
Singing my songs to empty chairs
Bb
C
and going home half tight
F
Verse 2
C
F
So the nights rolled by like headlights
Bb
shining on a lonesome strip of tar
Gm
C
I kept his word of kindness close
F
Bb
to me like a pick on my guitar
C
F
And we talked about the singers
Am
and the songs we loved
Bb
And the songs we'd most forgot
Gm
In that run -down bar bar
Bb
C
F
And I'd never want to stop
Verse 3
Bb
[Chorus] 'Cause I was
living on nothing
C
but a young girl's dreams
F
With my cowboy boots and
Gm
Hitching Hitching my
F
Bb
Dreaming of leaving those local bars
F
C
When I'd get him up at closing time
Dm
For a couple of songs and
Gm
C
Like the star that he longed to be
Bb
C
He looked a hell of a lot

Verse 4
F
Well, he'd played a lot of places where the
Bb
only wages were food and beer for free
Gm
C
No fancy licks, but he had him a gift
F
Bb
C
for the kinds of songs he'd sing
F
But you do what you can to
Bb
Just to have your peace of mind
Gm
C
So he gave it all up for a government job
Bb
C
where the paychecks come on time
F
Verse 5
C
Am
F
So now he comes to the bar
to hear me play guitar
Bb
And to share a drink or two
Gm
C
And we sit swapping tales of where we've
F
Bb
C
been and what we'd rather do
F
There's a wealth of dangers when
Am
you're talking to strangers
Bb
And I meet them all the time
Gm
C
Bb
C
F
But my heart knew better than my head when I looked into those eyes

Verse 6
I'll quit when I've got me
Bb
a kid and a place to call my own
Gm
C
But tonight there ain't nobody
F
Bb
C
there waiting up for me at home
F
Am
It's a helluva way to live from day to day
Bb
Not knowing where you're bound
Gm
C
But the look in his eyes made me realize
Bb
C
I was glad for the life I'd found
F
[Chorus]
