Two packs of cigarettes a day The strongest whiskey Kentucky can make
That's the recipe to put a vagabond on his hands and knees
I watched it all up close I knew it more than most
I saw a side of him I could never show
for the sympathy for a world that wouldn't let him be
That's the man he was Have you heard enough?
What a shame What a shame to judge a life that you can't change
The choir sings the chuch bells ring so won't you give this man his wings
what a shame to have to beg you to see we're not all the same
What a shame
remainder of song follows same pattern!! My first tab so enjoy!!
There's a hard life for every silver spoon there's a touch of grey for every shade of blue
That's the way that I see life if there was nothing wrong then there'd be nothing right
and for this working man they said could barely stand there's got to be a better place to land
some kind of remedy for a world that wouldn't let him be
that's the man he was have you heard enough
God forgive the hands that laid you down
They never knew how, but your broken
Heart can break the sound
And change the season
Now the leaves are falling faster,
Happily ever after
You gave me hope through your endeavors
And now you will live forever
