Newspaper Blanket

Cm
Sad old man nobody loves him


[Verse]
Cm            Fm              G#              D#
Every morning I would see him sleeping in the dew
   Cm            Fm             G
He never noticed me as I passed by
    Cm             Fm             G#                     D#
I'd walk by slowly staring at the holes worn through his shoes
Cm               Fm             G
Wondering how he managed to get by


[Chorus]
Cm          Fm     Am
Sad old man nobody loves him
Cm      B       F           D#
Sad old man has no place to stay
Continues after the ad
    G#                     G#m
And nothing to claim but a broken down park bench
      A#                                   Gm
And a newspaper blanket on a cold winter's day


[Verse]
    Cm              Fm                G#             D#
The afternoon would come; I'd see him begging by the square
      Cm           Fm              G
While I was in the crowd without a mind
    Cm          Fm                 G#               D#
And had I been alone, I would have told him someone cared
       Cm             Fm             G
But it never bothered him for he was blind


[Chorus]
Cm          Fm     Am
Sad old man nobody loves him
Cm      B       F           D#
Sad old man has no place to stay
    G#                     G#m
And nothing to claim but a broken down park bench
      A#                                   Gm
And a newspaper blanket on a cold winter's day

Cm              Fm            Am
Sad old man how long will you be here
Cm      B       F            D#
Sad old man how long can you stay
    G#                              G#m
For if you should leave who'll take care of the park bench
        A#                                     Gm
And the newspaper blanket would be left by the way
