INTRO: C  G  D  G

                C                G
Got just enough sun to light my way 
            D                  G
Just enough cloud to give me shade 
        C            G
Over my slow-down parade 
        D                 G
One-man band at the barricade 


         C                   G
One last stand of make believe 
         D                   G
One good memory I can retrieve 
         C                       G
One more devil that I will deceive 
         D                          G
One less reason that I’d rather leave 


       C              G
Unblindfold the referee 
              D                    G
Don’t ask the wind what became of me 
          C                     G
I tend to stray from the pedigree 
            D                   G
Left off my sentence in Tennessee 


          C                          G
Need more strength, so I’m not afraid 
       D                     G
Need a scale, legal for trade 
            C                        G
A length of rope with a tighter braid 
            D                         G
Enough of a crowd so I can still get paid 


           C                          G
A tailored suit that won’t go to trial 
             D                          G
Bring your regrets, put them on the pile 
            C                          G
Trust these mountains to be here awhile 
             D                      G
Lend me your shoes, I’ll walk a mile 


INSTRUMENTAL: C  G  D  G   C  G  D  G


         C                      G
In the indictment I wasn’t named 
           D                      G
Though you know I’ll get the blame 
           C                         G
I lost the ticket that wasn’t claimed 
          D                       G
I’m still here and I’m not ashamed 


BRIDGE:
     Em
Over here
     D
Over here 
            C
My eyes are shot
                D
But my vision’s clear 


                 C                G
With just enough sun to light my way 
            D                  G
Just enough cloud to give me shade 
        C            G
Over my slow-down parade
        D                  G
One-man band at the barricade
        Em                D    C
One-man band at the barricade
